Prairie Chicken.

For the record, I wanted the URL for this blog to be prairiechicken.blogspot. Unfortunately, "this URL is already in use" ... really?

Anyways...

I've spent a good portion of 2009 wondering where the last 25 years of my life went. On September 11th this year, I expressed to my dad how strange it was that I could remember something from 8 years ago so vividly and that 8 years ago I wouldn't have been able to remember anything from 8 years ago. His wise words (via text message, mind you) in response to my thoughts thus became the inspiration for this blog:

"Welcome to the world of the aging. Life accelerates like a prairie chicken running from a brush fire."

I really have no idea how to blog, what to write, or if anyone will even care, but I'm hoping this will serve as a way to capture a portion of my life. I imagine that the nature of my posts will be random. However, if you know me, this shouldn't be too surprising.

I've been told to ensure that this blog isn't censored so "the whole world knows who these crazy lunatics are that you interact with on a daily basis." I'm certain that the previously quoted lunatic along with all you others reading this will be the source of many of my posts.

Happy reading.
