Slow Start

Well, I finally realized today that there is no easy way to search blogs. There are a few search engines out there proclaiming to be do blog searches but it seems they are mostly full of advertising which I despise. However I did find an article about how google is planning on creating a "blog only" search engine. So until then I guess I will have to be content with browsing the blogs and maybe even keeping up with this one.

Which gets me onto the subject of this post. I really don't know what to make this blog about. The title suggests a social/political commentary about living in Lansdale, Pennsylvania which is where I live. I'm obviously a big fan of Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson. Most people are familiar with his work because of the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas which is based upon his most popular book. I never really thought of doing any sort of writing until I started reading more of his work. I don't think I write well enough or often enough to call this blog my own Gonzo journalistic column, although thats what I first thought of when I was posed with creating a blog. Some sort of Gonzo commentary on living in Anywhere USA. How every small suburban enclave in the US seems to be an awful facsimile of each other, making us flock to the internet and these blog things to find some sense of community. Anyway I think I'm starting to ramble so I am going to wrap this one up.

So as I said I'm not sure where I'm going with this whole thing. I have a lot of interests and thought of doing a blog for each but that seems like a lot of work. So I guess this is just a big experiment in something. Whatever it is an experiment in I really don't know.
