Welcome to philredbeard.com, proudly hosted at wordpress.com, and featuring all the content you have come to know and love!
I have purchased a new domain name, and a wordpress Personal subscription, to remove ads on my site and to relaunch my blog. I have started to write more regularly now, and for a while my blog was a dusty road. It will now be updated more regularly, and I thought it should get a new start to commemorate the occasion.
So welcome to “a simple man”. Inspired by the bounty hunter Jango Fett as featured in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Jango declares to Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi that he is “a simple man, trying to make [his] way in the universe”. That moment, and that idea, has stuck with me ever since I was 15 years old sitting in a theater watching Clones for the first time. Really, that is all I have ever aspired to be: just “a simple man”.
On this blog I share my thoughts about what interests me, I share poetry that I write, and perhaps the occasional short story. I am a creator and a maker, and my primary medium is the English language. I also take pictures, paint, and other things, but my “first, best destiny”, to quote Mr. Spock from Star Trek, has always been to write. And here you will find my public writing.
I have fun writing, and I hope that you will find something that you enjoy reading. You can follow my blog by submitting your email to the right. You can also drop me an email to the address to the right. I would love to hear from you!
So welcome, welcome, and thrice welcome!
a simple man
