On Making Over the Blog: From Notebook to City Painting

It was time. The blog had been bland and theme-less for long enough... I mean, TYLER'S NOTEBOOK??? Come on! It was time to make the blog fabulous - give it some color and some direction!

And so here it is. Painting the City Red. The title captures my primary interests in a neat old-fashioned expression. Significance? First of all, every queer dreams of himself as a star. When I go out, the city turns red. Beyond that superficiality, I often write about cities and my prerogative is one of progressive/socialist (communist=red) politics... what better way to combine the two? That it also touches on OSU colors is not intentional, and frankly if there were a way to associate cities and socialism in such a catchy phrase without invoking that color, believe me I would. Alas, there isn't. Consider it a tribute to the city of Columbus (but not its famed sports team.)
