Let’s Try This Again

“I’m going to start a blog,” I say every time.

And every time, I fail to maintain said blog. Nay, I completely forget the blog exists after my first post. Every. Single. Time. Like here. Or here.

Then there was that brief stint where I actually maintained a Tumblr for about six months. But I won’t link you to that. Some things should remain buried in the past, under a ton of rubble on top to prevent anyone from digging it up. That’s coming from the guy who just linked you to a blog post I made in eighth grade where I claimed “I’m a Republican” and “Sarah Palin would make a good president”.

BUT, dear readers, this time is different! Yes. Not the same kind of “different” that I insisted all those other times would be. More like a good different. A more mature different. A, “I’m 24 so surely I can be responsible enough to maintain an active blog” different… Oh, who am I kidding? I can’t even remember to water my plants.

None the less, thank you for joining me on the first day of my great blogging experiment.

I will endeavor to keep you both entertained and informed with insights into my brain and my day to day happenings. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. A good time will be had by all.

What sort of posts can you expect on this blog? If my Twitter is any indication, you can expect…

• Me longing for the beach but not actually going
• Movie Reviews
• Feverish defense of Burger King’s ad campaigns
• Obscure facts about American relations with Middle Eastern countries
• Yeehaw

In all reality, I can’t predict what I will blog about, or even how long I will keep this going. All I know is that I have made a resolve to live my life as authentically as possible, free from the chains of society’s robotic routines. I will follow my heart and do what I want to do, see what I want to see, be who I want to be. At least for now, I intend to document this transformation.

Starting now.
