And thus it begins…

Saturday I was over at a friend’s house and after a chat about this and that she mentioned stikk.com.
It’s a website dedicated to the procrastinator in all of us who needs to get moving and “giterdun”.
She asked me if I would be her referee, but we both knew that I needed to join more than she did.

Today is Monday October 22nd, and after exactly a year of owning adventuresinstrangeland.com I’m finally starting the blog.
I’ve had the genius idea of combining everything and anything which interests me, instead of having a different URL for each subject matter. I’m such a scatterbrain, it’s only right.

So what’s my challenge?
I’ve got twenty weeks to write five entries per week, otherwise see that little cherub with the bad page haircut on top? Her former employer gets my $100.

For those of you who don’t know who she is, that’s Maggie Gallagher.
She was once the president and chairman of the National Organization for Marriage.
Apparently some self-anointed bunch of assholes who oppose same sex marriage and/or other kinds of legal recognition.

I’m not much of a joiner and I’m horribly unpolitical, but no one is gonna stop my gay uncles George and Bill from someday meeting that special someone and making the biggest mistake of their lives. At least not while I’m around!
