Why bother with a blog?

Hopefully, because it will be a medium for me to express me transcendental ramblings about rocks, bouldering, etc., and thus save my friends and fiance from future rants.

I also want a place to store bouldering pictures, videos and my thoughts about them-a sort of photo/video journal.

Why the name, geo-logic? (doen't it sound like some mega-corporation that makes fake landscaping rocks out of styrofoam or some shit?)

geo: a Greek-based prefix, indicating some relation to the earth. in the case of this blog, rocks.

logic: another Greek derivative; from the word, "logos:" "A term used by Greek (esp. Hellenistic and Neo-Platonist) philosophers in certain metaphysical and theological applications developed from one or both of its ordinary senses ‘reason’ and ‘word’" (OED)

So: rocks, words, thoughts- a relevant set of ideas for the bouldering journal of a literature grad. student with a taste for transcendental philosophy.

Though I hope my friends from climbing and language-studies (and elsewhere) will find something entertaining or least somewhat interesting here, I realize that this will probably just give both more reasons to make fun of me (not as though they need them).
