This blog

So...this blog has gone nowhere, I have no real followers; I mean, how many of the 4 of you that I have actually read the stuff I write in here? Anyway, I am gonna start moving this Blog in the direction of a real news blog, reflecting on the news of the day with my own view on it as it happens.

I guess the first thing I should do to if I am going to give my opinion of things to potentially total strangers, is to give you a basic overview of who I am and what I'm about.

I am currently 19 years old, and the eldest of three boys in my household. When I was seven my parents got divorced, and my mother got custody of me and my brothers. My mother was a writer for a small newspaper on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in the 90's, and is now a social worker in the Capital Region of New York. My father who passed a year ago to the day Thursday was a stand up comic working in regional clubs all over the country, settling in New York for a period of time before I was born. He continued comedy till his passing, picking up some very odd jobs over the period of my life.

Both of my parents influenced the development of my left wing political ideology, agnostic religious views, and snappy, yet sometimes overly sarcastic sense of humor. Somehow during my lifetime I managed to develop myself into a big time computer geek, gamer, comic book lover, and Beatles enthusiast. My views on freedom of information and internet regulations will be the top two things I keep on my radar when I am looking for topics for posts, but if something sparks my eye, be sure that I will be writing about it.

I hope you enjoy reading my blog.
