Hey there, I'm Justin. You may know me from the 1,500 (give or take) articles I've cobbled together covering local stock car racing in the last decade-ish, or the radio programs I've done, or whatever else it is that I do in public. I've been writing about race cars for a long time, but not really about anything else, and I'm tired of it.
Don't get me wrong here, I love telling racing stories and I don't see that changing, but I need an outlet for all my other ideas. MySpace stopped being cool before it ever started being cool, and I refuse to go back to that for my blogging needs. Facebook, meh, I could take it or leave it. I do like the Blogger software that Google offers, though, and having been pretty familiar with it, I figured it was my best option. (Wordpress is nice but it just takes too damned long to figure out what all the gadgets are.)
Anywho, this little blog'll be about whatever the hell I'm thinking at any given moment. It may be about racing. It may be about how much I love my girlfriend. It may be about how much I miss my father or how awful the parental battle over my son has been for four years. It may be about my undying love for this messed up little state that I live in (and I do mean Vermont, not anything else, sickos). It may be reminiscing over good times, or looking forward to the future. I may write poetry. I may steal poetry and re-post it. Posts might be funny, sad, or laced with swear-words and foul language. In fact, I can almost guarantee the foul language, regardless of topic.
Balls and farts. See? It's started already.
The name "(802)zoom" is something I've been trying to find a use for for about three years now, and I might still use it for some other project down the line. I mean, first of all, it sounds cool when you say it out loud. "Eight-oh-two-zoom." Bad-ass. Second of all, it obviously means something to me because I'm an unabashed fan of Vermont, my home state (our area code is 802), and zoom infers speed or racing or whatever. Third, when you use the parentheses as I've done, it becomes a title with a trendy, big-city, designer storefront douche vibe to it that might help it to catch on and get some regular readers who want to pretend to feel as hip as I pretended to feel when I clicked "publish". Fourth, everything else I wanted was taken. Fifth, I actually only tried two other titles and they were taken. Seventh, I forgot how to count and I'd really like a sandwich. Other seventh, I forgot what I was talking about.
So yeah, this is a start, anyway. Thanks for stopping in. If you wanna leave a comment, please, by all means, do it.
