This is my official welcoming message. The site is not complete, and you may not notice any difference’s from the old Kicking and Screaming. But believe me when I say *I* am going to notice, even if you don’t. I’m sorry about that big ass photo of me up in my header, I need more time to work on a real one.

People are asking why I’ve made the change and the best thing I can say is that I found a woman’s blog months and months ago and absolutely loved the layout. It was just amazing…and hosted on wordpress. When I tried to make similar changes over at blogger I got frustrated at the lack of control I had, even if I had hundred’s of options. There were certain things I wanted to change and couldn’t.

Why discoverboo.com?? Seriously? Have you ever tried to buy yourself a cheap domain name for exactly what you want? Well, let me tell you! We tried kickingandscreaming.com (go have a look! It’s not even that its already a worthy web site, it’s been stolen by some money making assholes who want me to pay $700 for it! Instead of $12 for an available one) but it was not available as a .com, only a .com.au. And to get a .com.au domain you have to be a registered business. Now I am all for my being unique and having my own domain name…but registering a business just to host a blog was out of the question.

We tried at least 30 different variation’s on kicking and screaming. We tried to come up with a different tag line. “shadesofgrey”, “littlewhitelies” “nothingbutlies”, “nothingbuttruth”, “nothingbutbullshit”, but only ran in to the same problem. It was either unavailable, or not available as a dot com. I even tried “idontgiveaflyingfuckwhatwecallit.com” Funnily enough…that was mine for the taking!

Two weeks later and we still didn’t have a domain name. Tim was sitting here at my computer typing crap in to the domain name search engine and I was watching TV. An anti-abortion add came on. It’s nothing really special. I’ve always thought that there must be more to the add than the bit they keep repeating. Because unless you actually look at their website you don’t know that “discoveremily.com” is an anti-abortion campaign. Anyway, I saw that and yelled out at Tim, who by now was pulling his hair out trying to help me find a name. And sure enough, discoverboo.com was available.

After two weeks of messing about with one tiny little detail, we took it. And here you are. Welcome to my site. I hope you enjoy what you read and I hope you enjoy the changes I make, please leave me a comment if you do or don’t.

A quick word of warning. Over at Kicking and Screaming I left a lot of stuff that I would have liked to have posted off the site in case it might offend people, or that one day Jaxon might read it. None of that here. If I want to say it, it’s going here. Get used to it, it’s all about discovering the real Boo
