The Beginning

A friend approached me several months ago and suggested I start a blog. She noted my expression of strong, but (attemptedly) educated, opinions on a wide variety of topics. Expressing those opinions in an open forum, she thought, might prove interesting to a select few. Following that advice, I started this blog but never posted anything, reasoning that those who wanted life updates would seek it themselves. I figured that my opinions were redundant among the expressive thinkers in the community, nation, and blogosphere. Above all, watching the woes of others who had their words misconstrued and distorted made me fear what the future could bring decades down the road. Such opinions from collegiate years tend to bite people in the rear end.

Despite these internal objections, I have become anxious enough about contemporary issues to air updates and opinions. With the recent campaign season and my inability to keep tabs on dozens of great friends, I felt strongly to start. Ensuing blogs will cover various topics like my personal thoughts on Proposition 8, the recent election, various moral and ethical issues, clever youtube videos and other links, as well as the occasional update on my life for those who actually care to read. Before I post anything political, know that I'm a political moderate, and like to have fun with both parties and their frontmen.

Pop in occasionally. I'll make sure to make this an interesting read.
