Welcome

So....

Just like everyone else who has learned to mash a keyboard in a coherent manner, I have started a blog.

There isn't much to explain, really. This will serve as a place for me to post my original fiction and essays about my life in general. The title derives from the old joke about a little boy who is placed in a room filled with horseshit. He gleefully begins digging into the dung, happily exclaiming "With all this shit in here, there HAS to be a pony here SOMEPLACE..." In a lot of ways, that sums up my life. In many ways, it is wonderful beyond words. On occasion, however, the level of shit gets so high that I have to start looking for the pony lest I go mad.

I'll warn everyone right off the bat: I am not a great typist, I make many mistakes in regard to grammar and punctuation, and I am fairly opinionated and stubborn. I hope, however, that the content of the pieces that you find here will make up for those other deficiencies.

For the present, I'll be re-posting things that I have written over the years which I find to be interesting and entertaining. If you have read them elsewhere, I hope you consider this a chance to visit an old friend once again. If these entries are new to you, I hope you find them to be a pleasant way to spend some time while you wait for your "two girls, one cup" video to finish loading. Either way, have a good time and don't take it too seriously.
