Practice before Praxis

Never thought it would come to this, I have to say, but here we are. Blogging. Well, here's the deal, I need somewhere to practice doing whatever it is I'm doing. I was sort of looking for a catch-all spot to write whatever needs writing in my head, which I'm guessing will be a big smattering of self important tripe ranging from music reviews to short fiction (maybe) to searing polemical retellings of minor events in my life.
I'm not much of a typist, so I can work on that. I don't have much of a portfolio outside of philosophy (and even in that arena it's pretty narrow), so maybe this will help fix that too. I guess I see job postings for a food critic, and I think 'Hey! I can do that!', but I have no way to prove it, so we're gonna give a go at changing that fact.
Audience is not really required for this just yet, so I don't know that I'll be advertising this anywhere, but I don't imagine I'll try to hide it either, we'll call it an open secret for now.
OK, them's the details. On with it.
