Pleased to Meet You, Won't You Guess My Name?

Assignment, Part Deux:

Continuing along with the them of yesterday's post, on the class assignment I am working on,  I am (was) supposed to write a post introducing my blog and myself.  Welllll...I am pleased to recall that I had already done something (or several such somethings) already right here on Irish Gumbo.

But it never hurts to have a refresher, does it?

To wit, I dug up some previous posts of mine in which I explained or attempted to explain a little bit about myself.  So if one is so inclined as to dive into the mental Loch Ness that is the brain of Irish Gumbo, please go for a linky drive on the following bloggy backroads:

Irish Gumbo, Explained

Portrait of Irish Gumbo As a Punk Rocker

Dudes Who Lunch, Or What I Learned About My Animal Nature

So if you are interested, the above can hopefully offer some insights into This Person Who Blogs.  Or at the very least, you can point and laugh at the dork who writes this stuff!

This is one of the things about blogging I find fascinating:  this recursiveness, the ability to metablog, to figuratively step through the looking glass.  Dr. Wesch was right in some ways...nothing for it but to dive in!

Testing, 1,2..Is This Thing On?

Everybody out of the plane!

Greetings fellow bloggers, citizens of the world and other interested parties! After much hemming and hawing, dithering, analysis and just a little bit o' scotch, I finally decided to get this blog underway.

Took me long enough, dammit. I have been watching, reading and following for a while now. Heard a lot of people talking about it, getting in it, but lacked a certain OOMMPHH to do it. Jeez, even my brother has (or had; I'll check) a blog. YOU HAVE BEEN SERVED. Okay, not really a threat. I am a little short on material at the moment. I have been writing a lot of fiction lately, when not doing my part at my day job, plus taking care of a wee one at home.

My goal is to get my musings on board for dissection/discussion/hooting by all, along with some links to subtopics that arise from STUFF I LIKE, OR NOT. I am interested in a lot of things, and usually have no trouble forming an opinion.

So please, bear with me. Music, food, art, writing, politics, design: If I build it, they will come. Stay tuned, and thanks.
