This one goes out to Andrew Mays

Andrew Mays, whom I usually describe to people who don't know him as my red-haired friend, turned me on to this website/message board/public soap box for all the internet-accessible world to see. Blogger, they call it. It doesn't mean anything to me, but I decided to embrace popular culture and give it a try, as it is "all the new rage." I guess I could say I might enjoy it for a few reasons. One reason is that I've always considered myself a relatively wise guy and could use this opportunity to shed some of my wisdom on the rest of the common world. Another reason is that I have in recent years found out that I am what could be called a decent writer, and so as my thoughts spiral onward into mindless published abyss, it gives me the opportunity to not only write exactly what I think, but also the opportunity for anyone to critique me in as many ways and in whatever ways they deem possible and/or necessary. Thus, I'm giving you this chance to have at it.
Lastly but not leastly, Andrew Mays inspired me by telling me he might actually enjoy my ramblings and hashings that I might bestow upon this cruel, unforgiving world. So really, this is just for him. Andrew Mays, God bless him, he's got so much going for him. He goes to a good school, he's got a good family, his dad just got appointed circuit court judge, and he's just got a good head on his shoulders. But he's got that red hair, and that's just something he's gonna have to live with, unless, of course, he goes bald, in which case I would feel extremely sorry for him, 'cause I've seen Ron Howard without a hat on and that's just weird.

Yours truly,
