Silently stepping back into the blogosphere

Is blogosphere even a word?

It's been a couple of years since I laid my previous blog to rest. At the time my life was a taking a turn for the turbulent and I was really too busy to do a blog justice. If I had kept up with it, readers would mostly have been exposed to a year-long gripe session in which I aired woes about a life in financial whirlwind and frustrating employment. Somehow I've come through to the other side, with the help of my beautiful wife and a whole-lot of patience. The bills have been paid all along, and I'm left wondering what was all the fuss.

Now I find myself with my free-time returned to their original highs, and I've developed a writing itch again. I've been living in Kansas City for almost three years now, and it seems more like a home to me than any place I dwelled previously. I've learned lots of nooks and crannies across town, and picked up several hobbies which I would love to share here.

I guess the obligatory components of a first blog post include a manifesto of sorts. What lie'th ahead for you—the dear reader?

The answer: probably more of the same. And then some.

Those who know me well will wearily concede that I am an overly critical thinker. I guess that's part of the territory for those in my profession: Art Directors. I find myself so caught up in thinking how things could work better, that I often have to force myself to step back and just enjoy things for what they are. But on the blog, you can expect me to generally cut loose and tell you what I think. I won't hold back, much.

So, expect reviews of all sorts here. Movies, Music, Books, Design, Games, TV Shows, Concerts, Plays, Restaurants… you name it; I'll probably have an opinion. Since I'm now happily in residence in Kansas City, expect my critical eye to have a touch of local flavor as well.
