about blogs

Thoreau once wrote, "the bulk of mankind live their lives in quiet desperation."  (or something like that)  I always remember that quote when I am stuck in or witness to traffic.  I believe we live in one of the worst rated cities traffic wise.  So I went out today trying to capture this fact.  This is the 5 South at Los Feliz.  It is not as bad as I've seen it in the past.  Ironically I think, the current price of gas is helping gridlock.  Still I can't help wonder what kind of Zeitgeist (look it up) emerges from a people subjected to the anxiety and frustration brought on by sitting in traffic.

I guess that this would be a good opportunity to segue into an explanation of the title of this blog.  "Sono in Transito" means "I am in transit" in Italian.  The idea behind the blog was to develop a public self through the written word.  I enjoy reading other people's blogs.  And, I thought I would like to become the type of person who puts out a pretty good blog.  So I am on my way to becoming a Blogger.  How am I doing?

(I got this from one of my favorite blogs) Personal to you know who you are:  Thank you for visiting my blog.  You have always been a great influence on me and your opinion (even when I don't agree with it) means a lot to me.
