Inauguration

Kind of feels like the first day of school. I've had a long summer to numb my senses and dumb down my skills but the time has come to put fingers to keys. As a natural-born exhibitionist, I've always liked the concept of blogging and intend to treat my blog as a personal diary open to the world. You won't have to sneak into my room while I'm at cheer practice and tepidly rummage through my pink dresser drawers to find my dirty little secrets.

Before I forget, I'd like to address the title of my blog, Divided Highway, and give credit where due. The name is blatant plagiarism. My good (best(bff)) friend Ryan Kulp coined the term years ago as what could have been the best band name to emerge from the Seventies and never did. Ryan is a writer and this chirp is one of thousands he has and will continue to generate on a daily basis so I'm going to steal it. (Ry, we can work out a royalty deal if you want a percentage of my adsense revenue)

I intend to use this blog both for commentary and reporting and most whole-heartedly intend to differentiate the two. All commentary will carry the tag "Post Op" because it's my blog and I think Op Ed sounds stoopid. All news reporting will be tagged as "Hot Off the Ether" because I'm quite fond of "Ether" as a buzz word for the means of information transfer. Feel free to offer up criticism if my commentary or reporting is lazy but don't comment unless you agree with me. Only stoopid people don't agree with me and stoopid people aren't allowed to post on Divided Highway.
