"I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable,
I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world"

I've always liked these words from Walt Whitman's Song of Myself. I liked them in his poem, I liked them in the movie "Dead Poets Society" and I liked them when Dr.Seuss used them in "Horton Hear's a Who". So, when I was thinking of names for my new "post anything" group I thought this would be the perfect name for it. If you have something you'd like to say, barbaric or otherwise, something you'd like to shout from the rooftops, something about yourself you'd like to celebrate, please join my new group. I would love to hear what you have to "yawp" about!
