Welcome, travelers!

Congrats to those of you who have managed to survive the long and arduous journey from Myspace.

No doubt you are tired, hungry, and have blisters on your clicky finger from the extra work.

Well, I can't do anything about any of that.

But I can tell you what this blog is, why I created it, and make all the proper excuses for anything stupid, trite, or boring I may have written 3 years ago: It was 3 years ago. That is my excuse.

Anyway, about this blog:

I can't remember exactly what my reason was for calling it "Peeling Onions." I think it had something to do with my hyper-analytical personality--my habit of picking away at things until there is nothing left...my persistent hope that I will be able to get to the "core" or meat of it all, only to find that the core is not much, and even then, to discover that the core itself has a million layers.

And somewhere along the way, I make myself cry?

I don't know. It is what it is. I'm sure it made more sense to me back then.

I'm curious to see who follows me here, which is why I'm beginning with this post rather than the logical fallacies one.

I just want to do a quick roll call and find out who, exactly, I'm writing for (besides myself, of course). So, those of you who followed me from Myspace, please speak up, and heck, if any of my old readers from this blog are still listening, you should speak up, too.

It is a brave new world here on blogger. A world of merciful autosaves...a world free of clattering, cumbersome features I will never use. It may also be a world in which you have to register to comment, but I'm not sure. If so, BE BRAVE! Remember you will only have to do it once.
