Reasons for this blog

1. Communication: 

I have friends on facebook, friends on myspace, friends on twitter, and friends who are on none of the above (some of these friends refuse to join any social networking sites however they use my password to spy on people….oh, yeah…you know who you are).  Some of these friends I see every day and some I haven’t seen in years.  It has become a chore to keep up on status updates as well as filtering out all of the extra information I get from these sites.  Seriously, I love Mafia Wars but I don’t need to know what weapons each of my friends buys every five minutes. So I decided to connect them all with my blog.  If you want to know what is going on in my life or those around me, just pop on here every once in a while and I’ll keep you posted.  If you couldn’t give a rat’s ass or a tinker’s damn about me, please feel free to never come back again.  No one’s forcing you to be here.

2. Culture: 

I have friends that still live in the area, but may be living under some kind of river rock.  They have no idea what is going on in this wonderful region we live in.  For those of you who asked me mid-May if hockey was still going on…..SHAME, SHAME, SHAME ON YOU!  Most recently, a friend asked me what this G-Summit thing was all about.  

Also, there are some of you who have moved away.  Whether it was just across the river, across the Mason-Dixon Line or even across the pond, there is no reason to lose touch with your home. And Pittsburgh will always be your home.  I will attempt to keep everyone updated on the goings on in Pittsburgh and surrounding areas.

3. Creativity:

In my day to day life, any sense of creativity or thinking outside of the box has been sucked right-the-hell-out of me.  I feel a need to express my opinions and ideas.  Again, if you don’t want to read about them, DON’T. It’s a free country, even though all the crazy rednecks out there would have you believe otherwise.

4. Contributions:

 Anything about cultural goings on in the Burgh and surrounding area are welcome.  Email them, text them, tweet them on twitter, IM me on facebook, or leave a comment here.  Anything is welcome from info about our local sports teams to good places to eat to traffic tie ups and road construction.  If you are of the Pittsburgh Diaspora and want to tell a random story about your good old days as a Yinzer, please let me know.  I’m dying to hear them!!
