Jumping on the Bandwagon

Most of my friends and family understand that I am quite resistant to doing as others do. Blogging is one of those things.

I began my Internet life back in 1997. I was a regular at one of the Geocities chat rooms, back when they were easy to use and had fun pictures and a great setup. Those Java chat rooms were incredible. JAVA! Ah, Java!

More than ten years later, Java is no longer the latest and greatest programming language on the web, although it is still quite useful and is one of those old building blocks. I replaced the chat room with forums. I've checked out a few, but I usually frequent the forum at the Michigan Mountain Biking Association web site.

I've recently become the administrator of the new forum for the shiny, brand new racing team: Red Jacket Racing Team.

Why did I decide to start blogging? That's an interesting story. I'm a returning college student who is strapped for cash, like most other college students. It's amazing the things you read on the Internet about making money. Blogging is one of those things. Am I making money by setting up this blog? No. In a long, roundabout way, the thought of making money transformed into the idea of creating a blog. I have a lot to say. Many know that. Many don't agree with me. Many do. Many from both groups find what I have to say, in the very least, entertaining. I hope you're one of those people.

I have a tendency to make great, plain sense one minute, and bizarro world nonsense the next. I've gotten more positive feedback on the bizarro comments than the sensible ones, so I thought I would lend my typing fingers to the entertainment of those people. I also hope to produce some writings that evoke passion, compassion, thought, and the spiritual side to everyone who frequents here.
