Pardon My Dust!

After a year of hanging around the blogosphere and making notes and comments, I have finally started the process of making my own blog. This Typepad account is just a way to get the discipline of writing daily and getting into the habits that come with setting up and maintaining a blog. I've begun the process in parallel of setting up a domain and hosting service, as well as contracting the services of the god-like sekimori for the final design.

Why not wait for that? well hell, I figure the process of setting up a real domain based blog is something that would be fun to write about, so its kind of a "chicken and egg" thing. Gotta have a blog to write about setting up a blog.

Heres What I hope to offer here at Varifrank:

I think a blog is like a good party. The host (thats me) brings issues to the table, and the guests ( thats you ) bring out the flavor of the dish. Good parties arent made up of vanilla people all from the same background, the best parties look like "Delta House", not "Omega House". I am - A Delta if there ever was one, Im practically a "dorfman legacy pledge". I encourage debate, I like arguments as long as they are about the issue at hand and not the person bringing the argument. The minute you make the argument about the person bringing the info rather than the info itself, you just lost the argument. This is not a democracy here at Varifrank, its a blog, correctly speaking, its my blog. Its like living in Washington D.C, you get to participate, but you don't get to vote.

I have my biases, I dont pretend to be an unbiased observer. If you are truthful you'll admit that you are biased as well. I like bias. I want you to be biased. I dont like fruity journalist weenies who couldnt cut drama class in school who now want to "make a difference" with their lives trying to tell me that they are disinterested observers. Im not 15 years old, if you were disinterested, you wouldnt be there covering the story. You want to make a difference? then put on a uniform and fight for freedom. "My human shield is a Marine" - get it?

I take hints, I listen to advice. I like people from the leftist paradigm. I even like Democrats and Socialsts. Heck, I used to be one! For the record, I dont hate anybody. I might argure with you for hours at a time and then go have a beer with you afterwards. Its been known to happen on more than one occaision. Don't confuse sprited defense of liberty as not "liking" you. Our unnofficial motto here at Varifrank is "Its not about you".

My first job is to figure out how to get my blogroll onto this toolset. thats probably worth 3 paragraphs right there.
