Resurrected

Well, it's been nine years. 

I joined the blogging craze early on in late 2003 with what I called Hube's Cube. That lasted a tad over a year until an early DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) guru came to my school district and (allegedly) eventually discovered my criticisms of his work on the blog. So, in early 2005 some pals started up The Colossus of Rhodey (the name was my idea; obviously it's a play on "Colossus of Rhodes" but given I am a huge Iron Man fan, the last word became "Rhodey" after Tony Stark's best pal Jim Rhodes) for which I quickly became the main contributor.

I joined the staff of The College Fix in early 2014, and I kept Colossus going for another two years. But with my Fix duties taking top priority, I found I neither had the time nor desire to maintain it ... and so it ceased operation in 2016. The fad of blogging had faded by that time anyway as the evolution of the internet rolled on.

Alas, after 11 years of being immersed in college campus (and some lower ed.) craziness, I rediscovered the need to have an outlet for whatever the hell I wanted to rant about. I'm still with The Fix (I love it and the folks with whom I work) and while I certainly appreciate the outlet Bleeding Fool has given me to pontificate about entertainment, I just needed a more intimate spot to go off about whatever.

This (re)effort may be similar in tone to the old Colossus; however, I don't care about reach, hits, shared links, etc. If you're reading, great. If no one does, that's OK too. This is my outlet. For anything. But if you are reading and want to share your thoughts, by all means drop a line in the comments.
