A recent switch

A good friend of mine, Dan, has claimed that he uses his weblog as an introspective tool. Sure, people read it, but that’s not the purpose. This is my first post on this site, after a brief time blogging on Meet the Phlockers. I felt that it was time to change sites, not for any conscious reason, but rather because it just felt right. I’m not going to question that sort of urge, because I know that it really doesn’t make a difference. This is just a minor change that I’ll adjust to.

It’s Saint Patrick’s day. Slainte mhath. It’s just spring enough that people are starting to beat back the lower mammalian instincts that say it’s time to pair off. People around me get frustrated at this time every year. I don’t understand it. This is when the world is finally warming up enough that you can walk outside without fearing death from the cold. The sun has returned. The world knows it. The birds are louder. Rodents are peeking out. Even the grass has decided it’s okay to show up again. What is there to be unhappy about? I don’t have answers. I don’t particularly want answers, I probably wouldn’t like them. But I have plenty of questions. Maybe there’s nothing to be unhappy about. I could be right.
