Introduction

My dear partner Knight N Daze has her own blog where she writes about her everyday life in our family from a pleasingly philosophical and insightful vantage.

She also has a particular style where she seems to me to purchase clarity and brevity at the expense of greater depth and volume.

I like volume. There's so much to say and so very many connections to be made!

So here's what I feel this blogosphere needs. We need to augment and retrofit and sometimes counter the odd Knight N Daze blog post. And some other blogs which I'll pick up along the way too of course. And news stories. And my own experiences. And we need to do it with a rich mixture of my many influences. Here are some...

Smurfs, Pink Floyd, Barry Crump, Star Wars, Shakespeare, Carl Jung, Ayn Rand, John Bradshaw, Alice Miller, Carl Sagan, Bob Dylan, Bruce Timm, Flintstones, Star Trek, Asimov, Amiga, Uncle Scrooge, Tigger, Arthur C. Clarke, Aristotle, Neitzsche, Billy Joel, Doctor Who, The Who, Calvin and Hobbes, Free Domain Radio, Back to the Future, Ludwig von Mises, Animaniacs, Hairy Maclary, Joss Whendon, Amelia Badelia, C93fm,...

All of that and more. And especially from a Flintstones/Desmond Morris perspective as it turns out. I feel like running with a theme of how humans keep on making the same silly mistakes all the time. That we are, as Moris says, the "naked ape" and do, as the Flintstones show, basically still live as cavemen despite our modern technology [ref image above.] So that's my theme and purpose. Cue next post.
