First post

Hi. I am starting a blog. It is not my first blog; I have had a xanga for the past 7 years or so, but there were many issues with that site. For one, I didn't know how to change the background. But more importantly, I am embarrassed to have written 90% of the words in that blog.

If I wanted my current reflections to be in any way public, I felt that I had to begin anew, and blogger seemed like a good choice.

Why am I starting a blog? To post reflections, opinions, major life happenings, etc. Do I want anyone to read it? Maybe. But it is mostly for me. I think you can discover a lot about yourself and about life by rambling about different ideas, and it is always interesting to look back and read how you felt and saw the world at certain points in your life.


Are blogs self-indulgent? Maybe. But I will try to make this one insightful instead of using it as an extended facebook status update. Posts to look forward to: social commentary, literary reviews, and life reflections.

Enjoy.
