First post for a newbie...

Well, I finally did it. I have a blog and can now share my thoughts with the world at large, at least with anyone who stumbles across it. Being such an opinionated person, I will no doubt do it frequently and with a large degree of passion. Oh, feel the power!

Some may question the pomposity of my blog title. No apologies. I am one human being on an increasingly small planet. I have a vested interested in the fate of this tiny, spinning, ball of rock and water. That interest is not only for myself, it is for a whole bunch of people. Therein lies the place where the passion lives.

Oh, my, you say! Is this person another one of those crazy individuals that regularly goes off on tangents about politics and the environment? Crazy, depends on who you ask. Individual, yes, did I not say so in my blog name? Regularly, maybe, we'll have to see what's going on in the world and my mood at the time. Politics and the environment? Oh, yes. The former definitely has a great deal to do with what happens to the latter.

I will, however, not just rant and rave. I need the good things, too. I like the little events in life that make me laugh, or smile, or feel good in any way. It's all important.

Oh, I am just so excited! This thing has spellcheck, too! WooHoo!
