Good News, Everyone!

I know some of you out there might find this surprising, but I am a loud person with lots of loud opinions. No, I know you're shocked, but it's true. And it's also true that my career in science has enabled me to form these opinions through the scientific process of observing empirical evidence, analyzing it, and coming to rational, well-supported conclusions.

I just so happens that throughout the day, I encounter situations that cause my irritable-opinion-syndrome (IOS) to flare up, and to deal with this problem my gastro-cardio-neruologist suggested the homeopathic medicine of sharing these opinions with others. I told him that homeopathic medicine was bunk, and fired his ass. But still, telling people about the stupid shit I done heard on the internet, TV, or elevator that day seemed like an amusing past time. Problem is, I found myself having the same conversations over and over, since all my loved ones are flung all over the country--much as if I put them in some enormous trebuchet while I was asleep--and I can never speak to them all at once.

So that's why I've traversed into this weird-feeling blog territory, where I can put my ideas out there for all my peeps to read, if they care to. And then when you see me coming you'll know what the score is on immigration laws, or twilight, or faux feminism, or scientology, and take the opportunity to get away should the getting be good. I'll also be posting some creative writing on here, in some sort of unholy hybridization of blog space. It may or may not turn out that my creative energies are not just limited to pert opinions.

Although I will continue to do this even if no one reads it, I encourage you to comment and turn these ravings into discussions, even if and especially when you disagree. Arguing at people is never as fun as arguing with people. Also, feel free to share thoughts and critiques on the creative stuff too, especially since I know a lot of straight-up, college educated writers out there who are, in fact, the shit.

Transmission out!
