why dispatches from the present??

This is my first attempt to blog on the net. After spending some pretty considerable time checking out some very interesting blogs online, i have decided to have my own sphere of "free expression" of my mind and my soul. I have probably used CNN's Cooper book's title "Dispatches from the Edge" (although i have not had the chance to read it, but i like the title), but with a little modification with "Dispatches from the Present." Hopefully this title will help me express myself more freely about current issues that concern me and the world.
