Check, Check it out

I don’t really know how to blog. So we’ll see this as a nice little experiment. Or (I mean, let’s be honest), an expression of my thoughts in a much more stylistically eloquent way than would ever happen in my real life. With the exception of well-established or specialty blogs, like my personal favorite, I’ve always thought most people’s online self-expressions were either (a) boring, (b) unnecessarily emo or (c) an effort to be Chuck Klosterman (side note: Chuck Klosterman started out at a newspaper! hope for all journalists).

I hope that this blog will be much better than my awkwardly adolescent and slightly embarrassing xanga (check out how far back that goes though! at least I was impressively devoted to my angst), but no promises. But 21 (almost!) isn’t that much less angsty than 16 if you ask me — we just get better at hiding it with things like sarcasm and expletives.

Feel free to comment, trash, hate, or love on this as you please. Just tell me what’s up — I’d rather know that you’re reading my blog out loud to your various roommates and friends (in a voice that you think properly encapsulates what you feel is the stupidity of my thoughts, I’m sure…I mean, that’s what we do) than not..but to be clear, make fun as you’d like — I do it to everyone else, so I can’t hate on those who do it to me. Controversy is the best publicity, you know.
