Welcome


Welcome to our new blog.

Here, we hope to inform, inspire, educate, entertain, infuriate, and challenge your sense of what is, and what might be– and we hope you'll do the same for us. We'll speak frankly about our hopes, fears, dreams, struggles, ideas, opinions, failures and successes. We will try our best to be objective, but being human, we will probably let our biases show from time to time.

You can expect posts on everything from music to politics, the environment to comedy, the creative process to the dumbing down of modern culture, with forays into travel, exercise, eating, drinking, shopping and fashion (do we really need it? Lady Gaga says yes).

Rather than create a blog specifically for Inner Gypsy (the band), or Great God Bongo (the religion), we opted to create this all encompassing blog to show a behind-the-scenes look at how or why these things came to exist and continue to expand and grow. There is not a business model behind this idea, but a human model– that is to say we're in this for a sense of community and camaraderie which will help us all to understand each other better, and make more constructive decisions regarding the world in which we live.

Having said that, let us end with the one about the man who goes into a bar, and asks the bartender, "Do you have 5-foot tall penguins in this town?" The bartender answers, "Why, no." "In that case," says the man, "I think I just ran over a nun!"

All aboard, the train is leaving the station...

  1. Cool, I'm your first follower! Looking forward to reading.
    Akanksha told me this:
    A duck walks into a store.
    Clerk: May I help you?
    Duck: Do you have Chapstick?
    Clerk: Sure. That's a dollar.
    Duck: Can you put it on my bill?
