Newbie: a newcomer to a particular field, the term being commonly used on the Internet, where it might refer to new, inexperienced, or ignorant users of a game, a newsgroup, an operating system or the Internet itself (

Yep, that's me. I'm a blog newb - not to be confused with a n00b (hopefully). But of course, that's not for me to decide. What is for me to decide, however, is about what to blog; quite a conundrum.
Current Events? Politics? Economics? Sure, after all, this is townhall.com.
What about History? Society? Anthropology? Why not, seems relevant.
Can I even venture into Pop-Culture? Humor? Personal observations? I think so.
In fact, as my title suggests, I'd like to go with a hodgepodge (a mixture of dissimlar ingredients - American Heritage Dictionary). After all, I think that's a fairly accurate description of me. Truth be told, I believe we're all a bit peculiar, interesting, and even weird. For some, it's obvious, others, you really have to get to know before it surfaces. But certainly there is something about all of us that's a little quirky.
I don't mind sharing a little bit of my quirkyness with you. In fact, I find a great deal of value in knowing about the person whose thoughts I'm reading, and perhaps you feel the same. After all, knowing someone's point of reference is more insightful than simply knowing their point of view.
So, as I begin to opine, I'll do my best to share a little about who I am and perhaps why I think the way I do. We'll see how it goes. For now, you can simply check my bio. Until next time. . .
Ya'll come back now, ya hear!
