May The Ronin Be Gathered From The 4 Corners

So, as some IMAO readers have seen, I am trying to gather the AZ and Southwestern Ronin together for a somewhat informal gathering. It all started with the Ronin Profiles feature on IMAO. It appears that we have quite a few of us here in the southwest, Arizona in general and the Greater Phoenix Area specifically. So, I figured it would be great to put faces to the screen names and smart-assed, right-minded comments that entertain and inform me everyday.

So, here is the deal. Tentatively, I would like to get together with the Greater Phoenix Area, Arizona and Southwest Region if they can make it. The date, which is negotiable, I am slating as Saturday, September 1st. The location (also negotiable) will be Four Peaks Brewery in Tempe, AZ. This has the added bonus, despite the great homebrews, of being near the ASU campus, thus allowing for Hippy Punching and Libtard Tossing if the mood arises.

So, if you are a Zonie, or in the area and like to travel long distances to meet strange people you know from The Internet,. then email me at haggismachaggis@hotmail.com

Welcome IMAO Folk

I just wanted to say Howdy to the folks from IMAO. As Shimauma has been constantly pestering me to no end about posting, I thought I'd take the moment to thank FrankJ for my 15 minutes of net fame, and the faithful readers of IMAO (who are the greatest blog readers on the Interweb) for reading my profile and dropping by to see my brain candy.

I've recently begun listening to talk radio again, and am growing more motivated to start posting again. There ARE some things that have been behind not posting, but those are resolving. For one thing, I have started a new job (well, new 4 months ago) which actually requires I work. I have less time to post, and end up only making random IMAO comments. This helps explain the second reason I haven't posted recently. As some may or may not know, I am crippled. I am a below-the knee amputee and I have a paralyzed right arm. As a result of having an ill fitted prosthetic leg, every day was a struggle with intense pain which had left me in a deep state of fatigue, thus not wanting to do anything from home but rest and be ready for the new day. But, I have a new leg, a new lease on life, new energy and a desire to vent as I have done in the past.

I'll be brain storming this weekend and promise my loyal reader (Shimauma... you rock) something new on Monday.

Additionally, if you are an AZ Ronin, email me at jwcanfield79@gmail.com. I want to set up a get together of the AZ Ronin to get to know each other and some of the fine libations this city's brewers can offer.

Again, thanks to FrankJ and the best folk on the web, the IMAO Ronin.
