Mea Culpa 4.7.20

I must admit a whole hardy and heartfelt mea culpa this early Tuesday evening of April 7, 2020 somewhere in the Pacific Time Zone. Somewhere in the Pacific Time Zone not too far away from the cold soulless digital capital of Silicon Valley yet far enough away that I can still enjoy a somewhat if fleeting analog existence. I say that I have to admit a Mea Culpa is that my site has been down for months now and though I would like to admit it is the fault of some three letter government agency, the fault of some digital robber baron or the fault of some international leftist organization I cannot. I would love to be able to, but I must remember that I was truly at fault for my sabbatical, absence, vacation, dropping off the face of the earth or whatever you may choose to call it. Yes, as I have said and keep making a point of bringing to my readers attention it was my fault for the site dropping off and not returning in a timely manner. Most of all it was my fault for not updating my credit card with the hosting service that hosts this site of self-pontification, drivel, and indulgence. Additionally, I learned after my site was lost that I could have saved all my site in one easy and convenient file instead of saving each individual post. That and my being extremely busy doing my “day jobs” so to speak as this site by no means pays for itself. Perhaps someday, at least a day in my dreams that someday may become true, this site will pay for itself but that is certainly not the case now nor will it be for the immediate and foreseeable future as I write this as sort of therapeutic release which is far more valuable that any form of currency exchange.  

So, for now, if any readers that I may have had in the past manage to find my site again or for those who are just finding this site I will publish and reestablish my past posts in some way or another. However, I am not quite sure of the format that I will do this nor when I will get a chance to do so. I say this because despite my having been absent from the digital opinionosphere for the last four months or so. So much has happened and trust me when I say that I have quite a few opinions on the events. To punctualize, in a way all that has happened, I type this while sitting at a desk while under a shelter in place order from my state’s governor. So much has happened that at times it makes my head spin and, trust me, it spins not from the beer that I consumed earlier from a growler of beer that I had saved from one of my local brew pubs from before the shelter in place order went into effect.  

Introduction 2.0

Greetings once again to the world and to those of you who have never met be before I say just a hearty heart felt greetings. It seems that my old site for reasons that I do not want to get to into (mostly my own fault) has been lost and I need to start again. I am taking this as a great opportunity to modify but for the most part stay with the theme of my original blog.

I am a middle class American male of European decent who feels the need to chronicle and expunge myself of the frustrations that I experience with current events and politics in general. I quite frequently find myself becoming frustrated with the status quo in this great nation known as the United States of America. I at one time promised that I would post once a week but reality has shown me that I cannot always keep this promise. It is therefore my intent to post as much a reasonably possible.

Additionally, I would like to point out that the items posted on this site are opinions. I like to think in my own mind that they are the best possible opinions in the world. However, I know and fully recognize that they are not and I welcome all who would like to comment on, refute, or otherwise provide rational, salient, and well thought out replies.
