A New Beginning

When I'm happy, I am not funny. And I tend to only want to write when I'm funny. And thus miserable. My girlfriend today saw a snippet of my older journal and said, "Your bitterness is amazing. Well, snarkiness."

And so I'm attempting a new beginning.

I'm a guy who was born right on the back end of the Generation X raft, and as a result I kind of snark on everything as a means of coping. Our motto might as well be "I ridicule, therefore I am." But honestly, I truly feel that I've embarked upon a new chapter in this life, and as a result I feel the need to start anew. No baggage, no preconceptions. So here we are at the origin. Zero, zero, zero, zero.

I think here I'm gonna run down recent events which led me to this pass. And a lot of things have changed lately.

It all starts with a conversation thread on an internet forum, a drive south from San Fransisco to San Diego, and an amazing little English girl who came walking out of the night.

Stay tuned, true believers.
