And So

I am moving over here to BlogSpot to see how I like it. MySpace has finally driven me over the edge. It's like being stuck on the Strip at Vegas with a bad hangover. Too many flashing lights and day glo colors and such. The Chinese communist background thingie is what finally did it, though. So... Rupert Murdoch is actually a follower of Mao? Is that the subliminal message? Who knew.

I'll have to see how this works out. I really have nothing to talk about as yet. But talking about stuff is not a problem when I get my groove on.

In case you're not familiar with me, let me explain. I am a musician and writer by profession. I put out albums, tour, write songs for film and television, write an occasional book that may or may not come out, and so on. If it sounds like a glamorous life, obviously you're new. But I enjoy it.

I've been married to the same woman for a long time. We have three grown sons, and too many pets.

I loathe Republicans. And Democrats. The politicians, not the actual humans. I believe that Democrats represent the Great Corporatocracy that actually runs the show. The Republicans, on the other hand, actually are the Great Corporatocracy. I hate the Great Corporatocracy, and therefor have some serious issues with our political system.

I am a big believer in the Constitution of the United States. I believe that the pursuit of happiness is exactly that... a pursuit. There's no guarantees that anyone will find it. But you've got the right to pursue it. Period. (Unless of course your pursuit involves murdering the pool man or something.)

I distrust all organized religion and adhere to none.

And so on. You get the general idea. Let's see if this works...

  2. Someday, this will work....maybe the 3rd time is the charm.

    I've heard many great things about your blog, so I'm going to join in on the conversation (if that's okay. I've had some interesting interactions with you on the Only Connect! blog, and I'm looking forward to the discussions here. Getting to debate with JoAnn is just a plus...

  3. PS--I do intend to use better punctuation. Sometimes, the keys just don't keep up with me, and I don't always proofread as carefully as I should.

  4. Glad to be here. Happy to see you on too Karen. I am in agreement with you on the organized religion standing point, (but then you already prob new that). Even though i am rethinking my stand against christianity completely. Am listening to my friends, kids, etc. and trying to forgive stuff and give it a nother go or try again. But the mistrust is a huge pulling factor also finding it extremely difficult to be have liberal views and hang with christians. idk. Also in agreement with the political system is failing pretty much everyone. I love reading your posts and your other fellow bloggers ideas. Cool that you have too many pets,shows that you and your wife have big hearts. Your idea of the pursuit of happiness sounds pretty right on. There is no guarantee or refunds on this american ride.
