Motives
To those whom it may concern:
I thought I would try this out as a way to work my thoughts out so that I could possibly clear my head during the rest of my day, and thus I might be more useful to society. I entitled the site "A Sour Kraut" with the anticipation that my German background, Lutheran upbringing, and typically disgruntled state of mind would find it's way into most of my ramblings and ravings. I also assumed a quote from the blessed Saint Jerome would add the finishing touch for now.
Oddly enough, I also miss the humility I once received in conversation with some of my closer college friends, and I thought this might be a possible venue for us (Charlie and Derrick) to continue our discussions more regularly. I also believe in a few weeks I will be moved into my condo and my roommates will be demanding cable internet, so I will be more likely to write with some regularity from home instead of waiting for a Saturday morning in a coffee shop.

From whom did you feel the pressure to create this blog? But I am kind of glad that you did, as I will now have the opportunity to visit a friend's blog without feeling as though I have been swallowed in estrogen. The guilt was just sometimes more than I could bare, pun intended.
Congratulations, and please let us know what is going on in that disgruntled head of yours.
I'm a little offended by that comment, Mr Dowers.
Looking forward to reading more, Mr. Schultz.
I thought it might cause a frown for some, but for some reason I felt that I was far enough away that by the time I saw you again you would be over it. Oh and by the way, I am going to be a teacher.
I think the easiest way to answer your comments is to leave a comment of my own in place of another post.
Thank you for the encouragement Charlie, it is much appreciated I asure you. At the risk of alienating a close, common friend of ours, I must agree that I felt a good dose of testosterone here and there might be of help to many of us.
I hope to keep you both well entertained when time gives me the chance.
I don't think you two need any more "good doses of testosterone". You've got plenty to spare.
Charlie - you forget that I never get over anything, remember?
But, you're going to be an excellent teacher.
Question on the Saint Jermone quote, Brian. Are you implying that YOU are aware of your ignorance? Or is it directed outward to the readers? Or both? I'm just wondering. I like it, by the way.
Andrea - Well, honestly I picked St. Jerome first, and then the quote I thought fit best. I think the quote is directed at myself and others really, but initialy it was meant to be an attack on those whom my "disgruntled mind" felt were ignorant of what I had to say. Does that make sense? . . . it was meant to be a somewhat self-righteous jest. Glad you like it.
And Brian, I thought you were always so cheerful! I do believe that you will be quite unbearable when you view yourself as "Cheerful".
