Hey daddy-o,

I have to admit this upfront, I'm not a beatnik (although I do think Jack Kerouac is a genius). True confession, I needed a user name for eBay a couple of years ago and “beatnik” was the first thing that popped into my mind. So, I could just as easily be calling myself MustangGuy or GodzillaWarrior, but I do to like sound of beatnik. Sorry, no beat poetry or java recipes here.

I tend to type fast to put down my ideas and I’m not a good proofreader, so if anyone knows of a good grammar checker, I'd love to hear about it; I’ve tried a bunch of them and most aren’t very good.

I’m going to be putting down a lot of my ideas on society and life in general. I welcome you to disagree with me. Not everything I say is right and as long as people don’t try to get personal, I’d enjoy debating with you.

And there isn’t anything that happens in this world that I don’t enjoy making fun of. Most people take themselves too seriously (Yes, I'm guilty of that too). So, there aren’t any targets I’m not willing to parody.

If you enjoy this blog, that’s great. If there’s anything you find offensive, well life is full of that – get used to it.
