My very first post

Hi

This is my first personal blog. I am told that I should write or that I would make a good blogger because i have interesting things to say. Although I do not doubt the merit of those suggestions I would like to suggest that perhaps I have an interesting perspective.I'm not sure what direction I would like this blog to take but hopefully soon this blog will evolve from an amorphous blob to a form suitable for art.

Let me begin by discussing what I do not want this to be. Although I may be an angry frustrated black male, the general angry black male humor doesn't necessarily ring true to me. I am not a transcendent black male either; I still see race and racism in the world no matter how hard I close my eyes. Further, I'm not a black outsider voice either. I wasn't the kid that got picked on in school and can use his vitriolic wit to subdue his former tormentors, that's not really my thing.

I make observations. My observations have allowed me to keep my sanity in crazy times. I invite you to share my observations and perhaps take a moment to enjoy what I enjoy about this place.
