Alright! I'm Fucking Posting Something!

OK. Israel's bitching because nobody but him ever fucking posts here. Like, this wasn't supposed to be Israel's fucking blog. It's our fucking blog. And I'm going to fucking post something right now. OK?

So, wow. Like, a NASNA blog. What's that mean? What are we going to do with our blog? Have you thought about it? Of course you haven't. I know I haven't. Me. Mister Fucking-President-of-NASNA-for-Life, until Laura took on the title.

So, if I haven't thought about it, I think you're pretty much off the hook.

I know. You're busy. Who has time for dumbfuck blogs?

This is different though. This is a way that we can really talk to and support each other. A place to discuss our very special problems that no one else knows about. A very cool place, where we can even talk about what we're seeing in our cities, and how we're responding to it.

Here's what I'll do. Make a commitment to post here once a week. I'll put it in my fucking planner, and try to remember to look at it. And I'll cross-post something from my blog. So that's two entries a week.

There's lots of shit I could talk about. I could post stuff that I'm having my class on Streetpapers, Homelessness, and Poverty read and talk about.

Or why I'm thinking more and more that relational cross-class work is the future of grassroots homeless organizing. Or post stuff from the NASNA Technical Assistance work we did last year. Maybe I'll put up photos of my kids. I wouldn't put anything past me. I could be putting crap up here all the time.

But if no one else is here, I'll eventually stop.

Here's the thing. Blogs are about relationships. Good ones have a community, and are important to people. We could get to know each other here. It would be easy. If it mattered to us.

I think it does. So, I've made my commitment. What's yours.
