First post

I'm never completely sure how to begin a blog. I hesitate to say something painfully obvious, like "hey! this is my first post!" because I like to assume that whoever happens to read this noticed that already. But I'm also hesitant to jump headlong into posting stuff. You only start once, right?

I guess I should explain a few things. This blog is meant to replace my previous blog, which was angry and bitchy and oozing bad karma in every direction. There is enough bad shit in the world that I don't need to create any of my own. It also had some pretty sorry looking political commentary that was definitely not well thought out enough to see the light of day. There will be no more of that.
