the blog turns one
As of Tuesday, I have been blogging for one year now. It's been a great deal of fun. It's helped me clear my head at times, and it's helped me keep up with friends near and far. I thought about doing a year in review post, but I'm way too lazy to pull that together. But, I did go through my archives just to see where all I was over the last year. Then I figured if anyone really cared, they could just go through the archives as well instead of me making up some post about it. But, I did notice one thing: my blog lacks the obligatory "introductory post." You know, the whole "who I am" and "what I'm going to do with this blog" post, usually the first post. So, here it is, the introductory post, a year late, and a little bit different.
Who I am
I think thunderstorms are awesome. I think summer is the best season of the year. I think Chick-Fil-A is the best fast food resturaunt ever. I don't miss very many Kentucky games. I think Kentucky is the best of the 50 states. I might live overseas someday, but I'm not sure yet. I think my brother is the coolest guy I know. I never turn down a hug (thanks to Brack's advice). I walk to clear my mind, I play piano to clear my soul. I play guitar to get chicks (and NO, it really doesn't work.) I only like coffee about twice a year. I think Cherry Coke is the best drink ever invented. I just want to be alone sometimes. I can't stand being alone sometimes. I think I could be a pretty good writer, if I wasn't so lazy. I have trouble putting words and music together, but I can usually write one or the other. I think the Baroque and Classic Rock eras were the golden ages of music. I think “The Critic” was underrated. I think U2 is overrated. I think Peter Gallagher's eyebrows are one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. I am generally an optimist. I fear rejection above all other things. I lean somewhat liberal politically, but I don't think the Democratic party has a clue right now. I bowl anywhere between 50 and 150 (and last night was closer to 50). I think Brahm's Requiem is the most brilliant composition ever. I think the violin and the piano are the two most beautiful instruments. I have a great sense of direction. I have a brilliant long term memory. I have a horrible short term memory. I think DC Comics ruined Mad Magazine. I'm not down with the DC Talk. I don't like worship CD's, yet 90 percent of my CD collection is worship. I feel I've done a pretty good job of avoiding Christian pop culture. I don't acknowledge that Michael Bolton even exists. I think the Sandlot is the best movie ever. I wish I had Michael “Squints” Palladorious' skills with the ladies. I don't think I'll ever be good at the whole "dating" thing. I love biscuits and gravy. I think Weird Al is a genius. I don't want to be rich. I kind of want to be famous. I'm convinced that July 31 WILL be a national holiday someday. I know I have an odd sense of humor, but I enjoy it.
