In the beginning...

First steps...

It's 3:00am and I have been thinking about writing a blog for some time now.  My wife and I have discussed a few times about me sitting down and writing my thoughts down for others to read.  I figured it would be best, for anyone that cares to read my drivel, to have an idea about my background and my current situation.

I have been married to my wife for 6 years had have a young daughter that seems to be growing up too fast for everyone.  We all up and moved from California about 3 years ago for my career opportunity and stepped back in time about 15 years to the Mid-West.  It has been quite the culture shock for us, minus the kid as she knows nothing of mountains, oceans, congested freeways, smog, dry air, bleached blonds and fake breasts.  But she sure as hell can tell you what a corn stalk looks like; but I digress.

As I stated earlier, this will be a place for me to express my thoughts about anything that comes to mind.  My interests range greatly, so unfortunately, this will be a hodgepodge of material until I can find my way.  My original intention was to be one of the other million bloggers that are reviewing games and entertainment.  Have no fear, I WILL be doing that as well, but supporting a family wrecks havoc on buying the latest and greatest.  I'm also interested in flying, guitars, people and culture.  Fortunately, my career path allows me some interesting incite on some of these but will have to be written in such a way that won't get me fired.  (I bet that would make one hell of a post though!)

Being that we are currently residing in Lincoln, NE some things are going to greatly reflect this area of the country and should offer an interesting perspective.  I'm sure I'll make all sorts of friends here when my opinions come to light.  

In hind site, I should have started this from the day we drove into this vortex "GBR" and the shucking of corn, as it would be an interesting testament to the thing that we will put our families through in the name of career and opportunity.

So here's to what should be an interesting journey...
