What is P & J?

I do not know how this will turn out. After thinking long and hard about just what kind of a blog I should have I have given up. This blog, the one that you are reading and that I am writing, has no essence or soul of even identity yet. I tell you this not to confuse you or to hide something. No, I really have no idea where this whole thing will end up. To drive home this point even more, I have no idea what my name means or where it even came from. Just on day the name "P & J" was on my mind and I knew that I must create something with such a memorable name. That was about two years ago. At that time I thought of creating a satirical student journal on campus; which did not ever get off the ground. The reason, I think, is that I was reading far to many Russian novels at the time and all the articles sounded like something from "War and Peace", (note, I am not comparing myself to Tolstoy here). More recently, I tried to start a satirical blog, of course named "P & J", and like the paper it never got of the ground. I have reached some sort of a compromise with this current endeavor. I shall write whatever I am in the mode to write and in return I expect no readership. Of course any readership, especially the loyal and uncritical kind, is greatly appreciated. Further, if I do get into the habit of writing about the goings on in my life, then please don't use it as an excuse not to get in touch with me in the more conventional ways. This is of course directed to all those friends of mine who have those blogs that are far superior to mine. Never-the-less I am more keen on actual dialogue between us, and not just the reading of each others on-line journals.
