Hello to all of you!
I say "all of you" because eventually there might be enough followers of this meandering stream of consciousness to qualify that salutation as appropriate, though right now it seems a bit "cart before the horse." No matter, I like to think big.
So what is this blog going to be? I hope the "O-C" musings don't devolve into a constant exercise in whining as that would be boorish, nor do I wish it to be superficial and humorless. This thing's gotta have snap, people. And cowbell. There has to be cowbell.
I've got a few ideas for stuff that will end up getting typed, and for my friends who do stumble upon these posts, you probably won't be terribly shocked at the subject material: bikes, cars, movies, and books. Anecdotal family stories are a must, even if it tends toward the derivative, observational and creative rants will crop up too. Pictures and video will occasionally make their way here, though the chances of these pics and vids being catastrophically compromising for me or others are slim-to-none. Face-plant on a mountain bike? Definitely. Drug-addled romp through Amsterdam's red light district? Wrong Blog.
It's exciting to take a shot at something like this as a writer (no matter how amateurish a writer I might in fact be) because as soon as I hit "Publish," these words are out there for you guys to laugh at, ignore, deride, or commiserate with. I can only promise that those thoughts of mine that do make it on to "Oft-Cambered" are the pearls of wisdom or ridiculous notions or inspirational stories affecting me at that point in time of my life. With any luck, this could be a good time for us all.
