Hello I'm Rich Brown and this is my personal website and blog. I'm just your simple, average, down to earth, professional, out gay man and aspiring circuit boy, living in Phoenix, Arizona with a few things to say while trying to find my place among all the scary, conservative, religious nuts in this sick and twisted world.

Bloggers Anonymous?
@HOME. So I know the first step to having a problem is admitting you have one. Well here it is, I'm just going to throw it out there ... I'm a Blog addict. Ok now I said it, I feel better.
I learned early while at University that it made me feel better to write. It helped me to sort out my feelings and basically get things out of my head. Sort of a cleansing therapy I suppose. I started out by writing letters, moved to keeping a paper handwritten journal and then to keeping an online journal. I think I really started my online journal back in 2000. I had thought about posting all of my old journal entries, both paper and online, but Blogger didn't allow you do post anything back prior to 1999. I just checked and it appears that they changed that, so I may just go back and retroactively post some of my older things to just have on file.
Anyway let me get to my point here. When I first started my online journal my friends would religiously read it. I was always out and about in San Francisco doing something so my life was much more interesting. (At least it seemed so to me ...) I thought it was cool that everyone was reading my "Journal" then, but didn't quite get it. Well now that it seems like everyone and their mother has a Blog these days, I have to admit that I'm an addict. I have a few peoples lives which I follow religiously. It almost feels like stalking or something ... Just on a smaller scale. I even have friends reading some of these other Blogs, so it really is a downward spiral of despair.
I guess Blog reading is one of life's guilty little pleasures. I enjoy it, and I enjoy learning more about people I follow and their lives. Alright, I'm off to bed. Cheers!
