Random thoughts

It's been a while since I wandered the web just to see what I can find.

Actually, the wandering wasn't as innocent as all that. I've been looking for community, considering the impressions sites oriented toward and/or authored by BLACK folks make on me. Thinking about the impression I want to make with this one, who do I want to talk to, stuff like that.

I figure there are unfilled niches in the Black online market. Like, it ought to be possible to put together a kinda Black parallel to Little Green Footballs. The fact that I mention that site without linking to it is a sign that I don't want anything to do with that sort of thing. I'm not sure why I even mention the possibility . . . maybe because I'm realizing there are good people who aren't interested in the things I present here, and there are people who would be interested that I'm satisfied with their knowing nothing of the site.

(Truth is, I feel the above-referenced good people are making a mistake. I'm trying to find stuff that Black folks need to consider. That means I have to cast my net over more than what folks like to think of as "Black" topics. I am also open to the idea that it may be an error to be satisfied with some folks skipping merrily past the site with no knowlege of its existance.)

I guess I'm feeling my muse and I'm trying to decide what to do with it. I know it has to be useful, and it has to be real. As much as I'd like to I can't seem to get any fiction going.
