So, not really sure why I'm trying out this whole 'blog' thing...guess I'm bored...and curious to see if anyone really reads these things. I'll tell you up front, I have absolutely nothing important to say, so click away now if you had some expectations. What can I tell ya', it's a cool, overcast Saturday in Austin. And Valentine's Day. And I am pleased to have no plans, no expectations of plans, no feelings of guilt for not calling anyone, nothing, 'cause it's that day when every one in my world has someone else to be with. So, to kill some time, I thought I'd come out here and play on-line a little. Stalk some, wave at others, roll my eyes at my own out of date, bad pictures and crappy profile, and be reminded of how non-descript one can be in this virtual world, and how challenging it can be to be unique and interesting. What enlightenment or different perspective could I offer that if nothing else might make someone stop and scratch their head? Hmmm, did you know that every morning a small boat floats down one side and up the other of the Bosphorus River in Instanbul and scoops up the floating trash? Or that the magenta colored rock in the crater of a dead volcano's mouth is so crumbly that crawling out of a deep one is like fighting quick sand? Or that the Spanish conquistadors along the Mexican coast imbedded fan coral in the walls of their structures because bullets got caught in its sponginess? That's the kind of shit that gets caught in my memory banks...all personally experienced by the way. Like I said, nothing important to say or impart, just flashes and snippets of the eye's snapshots over the years to describe.
