Hello #SSA2012 Visitors!!

Hello #SSA2012 visitors!!
This conference has inspired me to make a concerted effort to do something useful with my blog! Seriously, I cannot express how impressed I am by all of the great, intelligent young minds around me. Wow!

Stay tuned, I only have a short drive home, so I'll pump out something awesome tomorrow (TODAY (holy hell, it's 0445). It's been so great to meet so many young people excited about secularism!

We are the future and the future is now!

Graduating...from Tumblr

I guess I'll start with the basics:

• I am an atheist.
• I am in the Air Force.

While I do not fly, my service of choice is known more for its fortifications in the sky than it is for the one's it maintains on the ground. Therefore, I am the CockpitAtheist.

This is not to be confused with the great deity of Greek chicken sandwiches: Cock-Pita (although, when pressed, I will admit His existence and am therefore, very much a Cock-Pita Theist).

So far in my tenure on the interwebs, I have migrated from social platform to social platform trying to find a niche that fits my personality and allows me to gloss over the narcissism I think it takes to keep a blog (that's a story for another time).

I started in 2004 in Xanga. Who didn't have a Xanga, right? I imagine people still use it, but, like many blog sites, its use, and my interest in it, faded because it didn't evolve with the internet. I never got into LiveJournal or MySpace very much, and Facebook was a bit too personal to use for serious journaling.

For the brief time I used Tumblr, I liked it. However, I felt very restrictive in what I could post and how I could post content. Maybe I just don't know what I'm doing, but it's far too cookie cutter for me. I want a place where I can post articles, quotes, and a video all in one post without some crazy ass formatting. With that, I am cutting the hand-holding, blogging-umbilical cord and setting out into the world of faceless thoughts expressed behind the wall of the internet:

Hello World.

Hello Blogger.

Now the question is can I easily cross-post from Tumblr? Because as much as I despise its setup, there is a lot of exposure to be had on that forsaken site. We shall see...
