I'm here

After contemplating the idea for quite a while, I've decided to create a blog. I'm not going to try to write a post a week or any such nonsense. (I tried a daily photoblog once, resulting in mediocre photos and even more depressing captions.) But this will be here in case I find the need to share a little more than I can on Twitter or Facebook.

I've realized lately that Twitter is the social network most compatible with my random thoughts and opinions. I rarely have much more than a paragraph of ideas, but as I progress in my education, I feel like I should be able to form more complex arguments and delve into my thoughts. (I once had a college English teacher tell me that I wrote like a marketer, in concise, all-encompassing statements.) Though I appreciate simplicity, a little exercise in writing never hurts. And sometimes I really do have things to say.

This blog may encompass many of my various interests, as limiting myself to a certain topic would restrict my creativity and defeat the purpose of this blog: to elaborate on my views of, well, everything. As you can see by the list on the right side of the page, I like reading numerous blogs on an assortment of topics. I enjoy clever and well-written blogs, and I hope some of that rubs off in my posts.

I've got some ideas for posts, and they'll be written in the next few days or so. Beyond these pre-planned posts, I don't know which direction this blog will go. Stay tuned to find out.
