..Wow, a couple minutes and I'm away! - writing my first entry on my first weblog. Hoping that this venture, about which I'm mildly excited, does not meet the same fate as my now extinct myspace page. (If I remember correctly I was also mildly excited about that; I deleted it after two weeks) Dont know what form this will take, but I am heeding the urges of many friends who have suggested that I create a blog focused on my life as a longhaul truck driver. It's an odd life, not an entirely average one, and hopefully that will be the allure. The creation of this blog (im already tired of this word...I need an alternative...a bleefus?, a blamazoid?, a snimdrop?..what am I talking about) ... The creation of this blama lama dingdong could be spurred on by the fact that I just turned thirty, a new year just rolled around, and I'm looking for new and interesting ways to express myself. (yeah who isnt) I'm trying to break out of my self-righteous refusal to embrace new technologies, and the ways they rule, I mean, govern,...the ways they influence our lives. Maybe I should call my blamalamadingdong "Confessions of a longhaul luddite"...sounds trite. The word trite sounds trite. Isnt that the magic of some words: the very sound of the word reflects its meaning. I think they even have a word for a word that does that, in fact. What is it? Anyway, this web journal arises out of my desire to write more and to share a pretty interesting lifestyle called "trucking" with y'all. So, this blog starts now.
