Introduction

Hi folks...my name is Dave Vogelgesang...I am a third generation Canadian...living in Victoria, B.C.

I've always been a writer...and remember painfully the disappointment, as a child, when a teacher's offered impressions diminished my excitement at my perceived abilities.

Happy to say, I ignored those impressions offered...and have gone on in my life...to enjoy...most intently...the art of composition and the willful manipulation of the English language to my own purpose.

I would like to write flowing romantic adventures...and perhaps will do so in my old age. I have also written a fair volume of rhymes and poetry...mostly inspired by the post teenage angst of my young life...and the 'peace and love' idealisms once manifest in our lands.
I will be creating a separate blog for those idyllic passions.

But my most passionate inspirations are forced upon me by stupidities encountered in our world...I react with outrage to all things stupid...and admit that would more correctly mean 'all things that I consider stupid'...

I reserve the right to decree stupidity according to my individual 'writer's license'...

I will begin with a cronological posting of historical articles written and submitted with reference to the inspiration then current...
