My first blog post and I’m sitting here with my fingers on the keys going, “ummm, uhhh”. 

So here goes…

I’ll put it right out there, I’m no professional writer.  In fact, this is the only time I’ll ever put my thoughts down…EVER.  That could be good or very bad depending on which psychotherapist you know.

I work in downtown Erie for a respected and well-known media company.  We’ve done some crazy stuff in the past and we’ll continue down that road if I have anything to say about it.  I’ll enjoy networking with other downtown-ers as I walk to the nearest Thursday block party!

I call Erie the small town that thinks it’s really big.  Like any decent-sized metro it has it’s problems, although Mayor Sinnott says the City is going to finish the year in the black.  Crime is minimal compared to cities of equal population.  The cost of living is low…hell, I just bought my first house for 10 bucks more than my rent payment! 

I continually and religiously check GoErie.com.  Not because I hate the newspaper, but because I’m able to stay updated on all local happenings throughout my workday.  Talk about white collar crime.  If it were really a crime, I’d be sentenced to life in prison!

I’m good friends with the organizers of GlobalErie, among other local bloggers.  Keep checking my BlogRoll for all my new friends.  This time there won’t be any gym class heroes at my lunchtable like in high school.

So post #1 out of the way.  Hopefully I won’t be sitting here all the time thinking, “You’re already a dork, just don’t write like one”.  Keep checking back because I’ll get better and better.
