At long last .... a new edition of The Geek Files

Greetings to all and a hearty thank you for not giving up on "The Geek". Things have been very hectic and extremely busy these last six months or so since my last filing; and while nothing has changed i am taking this opportunity to re-acquaint myself to my faithful readers and audience. New things are coming to "The Geek Files" some of you will be pleasantly surprised and happy and others of you will be greatly disappointed and perhaps will take your readership to other, newer, or better blogs .... oy vey as is said by the ancestral homeland or as the French would observe c'est la vie.

To wit .... from henceforth the focus of this blog will be changing and while it will still be a random collection of thoughts those thoughts will be focused more on certain subjects near and dear to "The Geek's" heart and less random than previously published.

For after all what good is a "bully pulpit" if one does not use it????

So as a much admired colleague of sorts would say ...... "Stand by .... for News".

While the political arean will still get its fair share of input and remarks and anything having to do with the wonderful men and women of our ARMED FORCES and their well-being and appreciation of their selflessness and bravery will still be a MAJOR focus of this epic yet understated tome, there will be much more of a focus on at part of my life that while understated so far has always been a major factor in what and why i do what i do including write this blog.

I believe that one can either be bold and unafraid to speak their views or one can hide in the shadows and never let it be known what their thoughts are; one can put forth their point of view and invite conversation or one can be silent .... however if one chooses to be silent then they must be aware that their action or lack thereof carries consequences and risks of never becoming passionate or having their view heard or voiced and they may also never know to what extent their views are shared by others.

It was for this reason that i began "The Geek Files" and it is still to that end that i must now shift some of my focus to a new arena ... a new adventure so to speak in the development of my life, my passion, my calling and my responsibility to myself as it relates to my own feelings and defined measurement of self-worth and self-actualization as well as to the betterment of my community and my world.

If i am (stealing well-known phraseology with pride) to "Be all i can be" i must indeed "stand for something" or conversely fall for anything ...

thus it is that i search for morality, creativity, respect both of others, and from others ....

and so as Yul Brenner so eloquently stated so long ago in the epic C B DeMille extravaganza ....

"SO LET IT BE WRITTEN ... SO LET IT BE DONE!"

Welcome one and all to the new beginnings of "THE GEEK FILES"
