Why Now?

In the short lifespan of this blog I have already started receiving questions as to why I am undertaking this endeavor. Simply answered, I've run out of people that will let me rant.

But, my inquisitor points out, I have never shied away from spouting off unceasingly. Yes, that is true, but as I get older and wiser I realize it would be sad if I were to reach middle age and people would fail to hear me as a result of pure exhaustion.

Speaking of exhaustion, my interlocutor continues, haven't I run out of stuff to prattle on about? How could I with Bush still in office, Microsoft at 90% marketshare, The Amazing Race on the air, my PlayStation constantly abuzz with new games, censorship and the silencing of dissent at record levels, corporate greed forsaking profits over people, J.Lo on her third marriage and counting, Tivo still solvent, Apple on a roll...well you get the idea.

Now here's an idea, my interrogator injects, I should use the internet to piss people off everywhere instead of just my little slice of Silverlake.

I heartily agree, that's why I started it in the first place. I have been a master at aggravating people for at least 30 years. Why stop now? And with the power of the blog I can go anywhere...Worldwide Hans!

So I bid adieu to my examiner and say hello to you, my faithful reader.
