Of course the main theme of this blog will be a sometimes cursory discussion of what I see, hear, taste, read, etc. Sometimes it will be quite in-depth and sometimes just in between. In fairness to those disbelievers, I will sometimes blog about the existential as it relates to &#8220;Man&#8221; in general. Note the capital &#8220;M&#8221; meaning I don&#8217;t mean the gender man. My first missive starts with the difference between wOndering and wAndering. Most people think these two are interchangeable &#8211; probably due to the greateducational system of the US. I wonder what will ever happen&#8230; means that I am suspending belief and thinking about what could happen. If I were to wander around aimlessly (which I do often)&#8230; that would mean that I am going from place to place physically in a less then meaningful state.So what is this blog about? It will relate to the many wonderings I have (like &#8220;Why are so many people stupid?&#8221; or &#8220;When did the ugly people take over?&#8221;). Most of my missives will be easy to digest, I&#8217;m just trying to get some of this anger out of my head\/heart and some might be hard to stomach &#8211; &#8220;Why are so many people out to get me?&#8221; I&#8217;m not unstable, I&#8217;ll warn you, but sometimes I do feel like snapping &#8211; but if I do it on paper (on the Internet) what&#8217;s the real harm? That is unless you&#8217;re the crackpot I just cursed out on the bus and you&#8217;re reading my blog with me calling you all kinds of hateful, horrible names. Still there&#8217;s no physical pain in that. I wish we all had a non-threatening outlet, because there are some CRAZY people out there and they all seem to come toward me when I&#8217;m out&#8230;at the bar\/club, the restaurant, the mall, the parking lot, the drug store, hospital, grocery store, and dare I say again the bar\/club.Enjoy, and of course don&#8217;t take anything I or anyone else does too seriously otherwise there might be a problem on your hands. (I have to take my own advice sometimes in this regards!)<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everyone, While I am new to blogging, I am far from new to wandering around the world and wondering about the many amazing and amazingly stupid things I see every single day.
