Location, Location, Location

By Restless [Originally on goofyblog 5.7.07]

Almost a year ago, I started posting on goofyblog with the lead On Location. Writing about things I see and read answered a need to express that had been long dormant.

I’ve always read a lot of current affairs materials, and, in the past, when I’d see a particular news item or editorial that hit the nail on the head, I’d clip it and file it. My way of saying “Right on, there are others out there who put things together in ways that matter to me, that speak the truth well.”

Now I can bounce those truths right back out there and share them. With the advent of blogs, so many are coming out giving voice to their ideas and opinions. It’s suddenly crowded — and connected — and that’s just great.

You lose yourself, you reappear
You suddenly find you got nothing to fear
Alone you stand with nobody near
When a trembling distant voice, unclear
Startles your sleeping ears to hear
That somebody thinks
They really found you.

A few months ago, I started my own blog, Liberty Hill Blogger, which has mostly reposts of my goofyblog stuff, with some extras. The side bar is always full of compelling articles that I’m not going to write about, but feel are interesting enough to warrant a looksee.

I’ll celebrate my almost-anniversary over the next few weeks by posting shots of NYC the way I see it.

Chelsea Hotel.

Thanks for reading. And remember:

While preachers preach of evil fates
Teachers teach that knowledge waits
Can lead to hundred-dollar plates
Goodness hides behind its gates
But even the president of the United States
Sometimes must have
To stand naked.

[top and bottom verse, Bob Dylan 1964]
