Why does this blog exist?
Why does any blog exist? hopefully to promote better understanding, or, at least, better understanding of an individual point of view. And I suppose that one publishes a blog to offer a point of view that a person might feel is given short shrift in general.
WhyEverKnot came into being in the late 60's, when 1). it was a catch phrase of a group of us that hung around together at PSU(Portland State Uni.), and 2). when I began netting, as in fish nets, to make hand bags, and carry bags, to sell. The economic enterprise never amounted to much, but the name hung on.

I'm an actor. I have been most of my life. Not famous, not well known, just a hard working regional character actor, with grand ambitions and limited future. I don't generally have delusions of grandure, I do dream, but reality is a harsh bleary eyed morning, with cold floors and stale coffee.

I've spent the last 24 years as a medium sized city Transit Operator. Getting up at gawd-offal hours of the morning, to ferry people from where they may have wanted to be to where they didn't want to go, and back again. During that time I've seen a fair amount of the Human Comedy, and lived through some of my own. I won't abuse you with my personal story, it's not that interesting, and there's better on T.V..

I feel deeply, as do you, about many things.
I think people need to be nicer to each other, and to themselves. There is so much pain in this world, there should be good reasons not to add to it, come up with your own, I know I have mine.

From time to time I hope to add to this monologue, and possibly elicit a response or two, but I think this is going to be a rather solitary expidition into the future.
