bloggedy blog: the personal weblog of a music lover and aging punk wannabe

Have you noticed?
Yes, the old, self-indulgent Andrew is back. And blogging with a vengeance. He's blogging about stuff that interests him lately, which is primarily writing and journalism, his first loves. He's blogging in the third person, which some readers may find a tad annoying. But it's his blog, darn it, and he'll write from whatever perspective he wishes. I might even switch perspectives in mid-stream. You never know, do you?

You probably won't be seeing much talk about Christianity, church and religion for awhile. Frankly, I'm tired of blogging about it. Tired of the factions, the petty debates, the inchoate chorus of "God-bloggers" who bully and belittle one another, the church, the faith, and the faith of others. The telegraphic posts. The flotsam of links. The attempts at wit and irony. The caustic, know-it-all, soapbox speeches. I'm tired of being a part of that crowd. I wish to wash my hands of it all. For the time being, anyway. Of course, as soon as I say this, no doubt I'll read a posting somewhere, or a news article, that intrigues me or angers me, and off I'll go, into the fray, arms flailing like nobody's business, adding to the confusion and muddle of the blogging hoard.

Ah, blogging. What did we do before the advent of this wonderful medium? How did we get our instant gratification? What was the world like, back then? It's all so distant, so distant in my memory.
