What I hope to accomplish with this blog then is to give a voice to those who you ignore on the train during your morning commute. The grizzled slackers who smoke on the curb outside of 7-11.

I find it merely keeps my own convoluted thoughts in check.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">I've posted the submission guidelines for the journal.
