Intro To Amorphous Thoughts

First off, welcome to all, especially if you found the blog through Twitter or the Plutocracy Files, where I guest posted on Occupy Syracuse.  Big thanks to Taryn for letting me post there.  And, even if you fell asleep on your keyboard and Googled "amorphous" accidentally with your forehead and found us, hello to you as well. It really doesn't matter how you got here, just thanks for checking in.
By the way, if you're wondering what "amorphous" means, please grab a dictionary (wait, people don't have dictionaries anymore), better yet, check a dictionary app for the meaning of that word. You know what, double-check "plutocracy" while you're at it. It'll help you going forward.

I guess introductions are in order, if you just found the blog. A quick rundown of me: Beer/wine elitist, liberal, recent 1/2 marathoner, training for a full marathon, info wonk, soccer fanatic, bikram yoga newcomer, vegan, occupier, & on a quest to become bilingual (w/ German). And, since these protests have begun, I really want a Guy Fawkes mask. To hell with it, I'm ordering one. The heart wants what it wants, right? I'm not fighting it anymore. And, can I just say, that the Guy Fawkes mask is now up there with "killer from Scream" mask for me. Whenever I see it, I assume the person behind it is up to no good. And, yes I realize I sound like someone's grandparent right now. I did almost use the phrase "rabble-rouser" to describe the mask wearers. But, I would have lost all readers born after the Korean War.

Anyway, I have loads of random interests, things I follow each day, off-beat things I stumble upon, etc. And, these interests are so far-reaching and different from each other, I'd be writing 8-10 blogs to cover each thing, if I separated them out. And, I can't remember that many web addresses. So, on any given day here, you may read cathartic rants on our political system, something random in the field of sports, climate/environment, science, travel, news from abroad, news that misses the mainstream here, vegan stuff, funny and/or informative clips and videos, books and documentary reviews, quick posts on some things that may have popped into my mind, hilarious tweets from people I follow, live blogs of the freak show that is the GOP debate...the list goes on. But, since we may be teetering on global revolution, I have a hunch most posts will be on that for the foreseeable future (just guessing though). I do promise to keep it topical, light-hearted, funny, sarcastic, irreverent, and informative. My other goal is to keep them rather short. I tend to go off-road when I write. But, tangents notwithstanding, you will leave knowing something you probably didn't the day prior. The random nature of all the topics led me to think of the blog's byline:

"You never know what I might write about, neither do I."

So, stay tuned, more posts will be up soon,
James
