why he blogs

Why cram another blog into the white noise of the net? Good question. I've taken a few stabs at this kind of thing before (armchairperson.com - now defunct; also, a contender for the worst Blogspot name ever, Detrital Omnibus), but there's no reason to wait around for things like...having something worthwhile to say, a new Celine Dion album to drop, etc.

In short, what motivated me to launch this latest attempt at self-expression is this article in the Atlantic by Andrew Sullivan, entitled "Why I Blog." He also has a magnificent blog called The Daily Dish. If you read the article, you might get an idea of why I'm rolling out this blog, though it will still give you little/no idea what my blog will be about.

Well, that makes two of us (and, making an educated guess about who might be interested in this blog, it's probably closer to one of us). We'll navigate those uncharted waters together. What fun.
