Hello friends,
Welcome to my blog, where you'll find all sorts of interesting tidbits about life, love, philosophy, and celebrity gossip...well, maybe not celebrity gossip in the normal sense of the term, but in a much more meaningful way. I'm talking about the local celebrities in our lives - immensely local. So local that they are around you when you kick off your loafers (or in my case quarter-calf length boots) when you arrive home from work, have the keys to your apartment for the purposes of "dropping loads" of laundry, and have the ability to shake up your entire world from an international phone line or a web cam on history's largest laptop computer. These, my friends, are the only celebrities worth gossiping about - and when I say "gossip" you should already know that I don't mean it in the Perez Hilton / WB11 teen drama sense of the word, but in a much more meaningful way. I'm talking about the gossip that doesn't involve rumors, the gossip that happens most Saturday and Sunday mornings when you wake up sprawled across three leather couch cushions on your boxed-up bedroom floor, then proceed to the kitchen to view an empty refrigerator and tell majestic tales from the prior night's happenings; most of which are gratuitously littered with laughter, howls, and hazy reenactments. Simply put, I'm talking about sharing stories about my friends, girlfriend, and loved ones. I don't know why I was so cryptic about it...or maybe it was metaphoric, eh, let's go with metaphoric.
So now that you all know what this blog is, or will be, about, I say we move forward with it and look towards the future with hungry eyes and deep-rooted anticipation, for this is the maiden voyage of Rocco's mind setting sail onto his company supplied laptop. Let's all hope he can "man the jib," whatever that means...
