Sum up what your blog is about.
American Babble was originally created while I was deployed to Iraq with the U.S. Army. It was a way for me to communicate with all my loved ones while I was away. Since my return it's morphed into a personal account of my life with commentary on art, music, the ordinary, a smidgen of politics, and general ranting.
Why are you doing your blog?
It's turned into a nifty way of letting people know what's going on without actually having personal contact with them.
What's the funniest entry on your blog?
Do the s***ty adverts count?

If you could invite anyone to a dinner party who would it be and why?
An Iraqi woman I met last year. Never did catch her name. But I looked into her eyes and thought, "Why the hell are YOU here?" It would awesome to break bread with her and chat it up. Here's a picture, I took of her.

I created a whole blog specifically for this question! There were good days and bad. It could have been better, then again it also could have be worse. Check out my blog's 2006 archive for my journals from those dog days.

Now it's your turn! Ask me one question, anything you like.
Would you have one of your fingers surgically removed if it somehow guaranteed immunity from all major diseases?
Joe Blogs : I would, as long as I was out cold and there was no pain. It seems a small price to pay.
