Welcome to Punks, Pods, and Pours

My website broke and I need to write

What is going on?

I have a compulsive need to write. Seriously, it gets in the way of things. It’s why I started Mentally? A Magpie. It always more about getting something out rather than being a critic. It took me years to actually start calling myself that, and I still don’t love the word. Alas.

Well, a few weeks ago Some Things Happened and unfortunately, Magpie needs to be rebuilt.

The good news is? I can fix it.

The awesome news is? I can make things better.

In the meantime, I really need a corner of the internet to keep writing in. The group chats are getting sick of me. My legal pad pages are running out. How do I not have enough journals in my apartment?

So what’s going to happen? I’m going to write. It will be about podcasts, it will be about music, it will be about coffee - it will be about whatever I feel like right now. Just know one thing, it will be an experiment.

I want to experiment…

Part of the reason I’m calling this Punks, Pods, and Pours is the fact that I want to talk about the music I listen to, the coffee I enjoy, and the other things I engage with. I’ve kept most of my writing very podcasts. I’m happy about that, but what could happen if I’m writing about other things?

We’ll find out….

I still want to be the Magpie

As I work out what I’m doing with Mentally? A Magpie I’m going to put things here. I truly never have any idea what I’m doing. However, I do know that I’m happy to be here, and I have a ton of people who have been helping and giving me feedback on what potential looks like here.

This is going to be Long Form

How long can you handle reading my words in one post? I guess we’re going to find out. I have some long stuff waiting in the wings for me to just let rip. It’s going to be great, guys.

Thanks for Being Here
