About This Blog

New York Cowboy.org started out in June of 2001 when I graduated from High School and wanted to have a page for my friends and others from High School to keep track of me. It was a kind of Facebook profile, but open before anybody had ever heard of Facebook or social networking.

The site was a personal blog about what was happening in his life. Politics and other writings where added sometime after September 11th, when I felt it was important to discuss the events in the world around me. I also decided to feature images of some of the places I've been.

The site is a work in progress and evolving. I continue to add and change sections, and share my thoughts on a variety of topics and issues. New pictures and writings are regularly added, and I make sure to share the news stories on the blogs that I believe are most important.

If any content offends you then so be it. It is my goal to make you think and at times disagree with my writings. Yet, when you open your mind, you will be in a better place.

I hope you enjoy it and you have learned a little bit about me and the truly beautiful and amazing world that we all live in.

Please feel to share any content on the blog, but make sure to attribute it.
