Life in Cincinnati: Is it good or bad for you? Tell us what you like and what you don’t like. Tell us what happened today to make you laugh. Tell us what pissed you off. Tell us about your girlfriend or boyfriend. Tell us if you’re happy in your job and if you’re not, what you intend to do about it. Tell us about you, living your life out loud.

Every Wednedsay on CityBeat’s web site and the second and fourth Wednesday of each month in the print edition, we write a column called “Living Out Loud.” This is the column where we talk about life – big things, little things. . . going to the dentist, friendships that change, what happens to you in the grocery store, opinions on who’s running or ruining our city. We’re just like life. “Living Out Loud” is all over the map.

Each day in this blog, we’re going to give you something to chew on and we hope you do the same with us. Comments to our blog posts will be welcome and feel free to sound off on your own. If you have something you want to say in a blog post, send it my way (lgross@citybeat.com) and we’re get your message out there.

Life is too short to be quiet! Sound off and live your life out loud.
