Hello interneters

I was blogging not that long ago, and realised something rather amazing.  I write a lot.  And what I write is all about what I do.... not necessarily something that I feel like writing.  So, the genius moment came as my fever broke this afternoon, start another blog!  The internet is large enough for another blog on the market.... and why not make it about whatever I feel like writing about.  This will no doubt change and mutate over time.

So, who am I? (And more importantly, who cares?)

I am technically a teacher, a published author and poet, performer, musician, dreamer and room-messy-er from way back when.  I have beagles.... one of them is watching my type this.... and freaking me out more than a little.  The other one is having an epic battle of the minds with me, as she is determined to be the pack leader.... but I saw the Dog Whisperer on Oprah.... he had the shirt with Pack Leader on it.  I am the pack leader.... and she shall conform to my will.... or something.  Maybe.  Battle of the wills none-the-less.

I have a podcast with my buddy Rickus.... "Barely Bodacious: Finally Full Frontal".... and after 3 episodes, we have hit our stride.... ranting about stuff and generally going on about things that are important to us.  It brings back all the good times in University Radio.... I'll throw in a link in case you wish to listen to the awesome that is us.

I have also recently broken my ankle... good times.  Had surgery for the first time.  And I got myself an epic scar, 8 screws and a piece of titanium.  I met some great ladies in the hospital, Janet and Lorna (Both in their 90's, so I felt particularly young and virile in their presence).  Between the 3 of us we had the party room, and flirted with the surgeons.  On one night, the nurses gave us all these opiate pain-killers (we were in the orthopedic ward).... and we chatted to all sorts of people.  I had an argument with my trainer and a unicorn... neither of which were present at 3 in the morning!  Following breakfast the 3 of us were very quiet, and felt the world was spinning very very slowly.  Maybe I should blog about the other experiences with hospital?  Maybe.  Either way, the 2 lovely ladies taught me a lot about people, life, living, laughing and seeing the bright side.  It was kinda a shame to leave the hospital.

So this will be the first of many blogs.... all on subjects that may differ completely.... but we shall indeed see.  Maybe some pictures would be nice to round this thing off.

Blair and I..... I'm the one with the thumb
