I come from a dried out desert city, in what we like to call "the arm pit" of California. Trust me, the nickname is as flattering as the place is itself. While I have many loved ones in Fresno, all shortening their lives from breathing in cancerous smog, it was never enough to keep my roots planted there.
So I moved to Kansas...(originally Missouri but I ended up in Kansas and that's all that needs to be known). And here, in a city that I thought would look more like vast cornfields overpopulated with rednecks/hicks/hill billies/oakies... I fell in love. (Yes with a person, but that's a different blog, and a different day). After moving here I always found it odd that I wasn't chronicling all my "adventures" for friends and family back in Fresno. So with that being said, this is my action to change that.
This blog will lack in basic journalism skills, it wont discuss politics (unless I intend to blog under the influence), it wont critique movies (unless one has pissed me off, for instance the movie Dear John), but hopefully for friends and family that are so far away, will open up a window for a small glimpse of this city. With all my antics (and wedding plans) displayed for them to enjoy or not enjoy.
Using online networks to shorten the distance. Cause after all...I did move to Kansas.
