History is shaped by our hands.

Check out the new look of the blog? Nice? Eh? Everyone like it or hate it? Send me a riff.
The guitar at the top of the page is actually my guitar. I took that picture. I noticed one day 2 falls ago that the leaves just looked amazing and seemed to really match the colors of my guitar. So, I took my guitar and drove to my parents place to take a picture of it in the backyard of the house I grew up in. It just seemed so right, taking that picture in that yard. The guitar looked great... the leaves were beautiful... it was my parents house... they bought me my first guitar. Excellent.
And the quote is from a song by John Lennon, but I heard it first sung by Pearl Jam. That lyric seems to not only fit the blog, but to fit my mindset over the past year as I've made my transition away from being a Republican. Its a perfect little anthem for me right now.
I also like the earth tones.
I love my blog's new look!
