Se la vie


Ya know, ever since I first started this post, way back in early april 18, 2014, I have been getting a string of calls, texts and telegraphs pleading for a lengthy discourse on the origin of the sight's name.
"The Mojo Underground"
You gotta admit, it really does invoke a sort of Indy international intrigue.
A certain mystique (french for mystique). A certain "je ne sais quoi", (french for snails and champagne).
Well friends, to be blunt, it has nothing to do with sex.
I know your all very disappointed, but such is life. 
This is, in fact, a nod to my own personal bard and muse, Hunter Shakespeare Thompson.
You see, in the old days, a "Mobile Journalist" would scratch out something worthy of a paycheck on a bar room napkin and go back to the hotel and shove it through a "transom". A sort of early fax machine. This became known as the "Mojo".
Short for, you guessed it, Mobile Journalist. 
And it is with the deepest respect for my predecessors that I adopt this moniker.
The "Underground" because life has yet to mash me into a complete pulp.
But there is still time.. And I will keep you posted as to exactly how this goes down.
I'm going to be "borrowing" a great many catch phrases from my many heros in the days to come.
But for now, you know, the rest of the story....
(long pause)
Good Day?

Welcome to The Mojo Underground


Testing 123 test, are we... we're on ok good.
Greetings and Felicitations to the public at large.
And welcome to the Mojo Underground...
This is about as close as your going to get to the inside of my brain.
Soooo, what goes on?
Well, I'm in week 11 of my 15 week plan to become a major force in world media. And I think the hard part is behind me. Cause for one thing your reading this. And you will not be dissapointed. In the weeks to come you will be privy to my innermost sagacity. And yes, there will be some big words.
Big words for big ideas. Ideas mostly dealing with "what makes karl tic" and "what tics Karl off". Some of these big words will be misspelled. This is intentional. It will be your job to locate the errors in spelling and grammar and point them out after each posting. I'm kidding, there will be no errors in grammor. Unless I'm quoting someone else, and then the chances are good for some real gibberish.
But as long as we are in my mind, you will be safe. I offer my aegis and agency to all who enter here.
So join me, as we explore an inexplicable world through pros and imagery.
And so as to not attract undue attention, try to keep your arms and legs inside my brain at all times.
