“Why do you have a blog?  It’s just a narcissistic, self-absorbed way for you to armpit fart to millions of people who just want to be left alone to look at Jessica Simpson nipple slips in peace.”

You’ve answered your own question, hypothetical person I made up.

I’ve been running this hectare of webspace for something like two years now, and I decided to take up the habit because I didn’t know what else to do with myself.  I had just decided to drop my Premed major and opted to pursue my English major full-time.  Basically, I threw away a lifelong career that, albeit stressful, would have offered fiscal stability, the respect of my peers, and a God complex.

I had decided to be an English major, so I knew fiscal stability was a pipe dream.  As for the respect of my peers, if you spent enough time with me, you know I’m not much of the “respectable” type.

I decided to start a blog.  At least I could aspire for that God complex, no matter how minute.

Basically, I’ll write about anything and everything that interests me, and I’ll rarely take anything too seriously, unless somebody died, and it wasn’t due to Jackass-like antics.  However, I do have a tendency to revert to some of my favorite past-times.

You’ll see me mention Notre Dame a bit.  I attended Notre Dame.  My father attended Notre Dame.  My older sister attended Notre Dame.  My younger sister currently attends Notre Dame.  My two younger brothers are working on refining their resumes so they can apply to Notre Dame.  It’s a bit of a thing.

Sports in general will get a bit of attention.  I like sports because I like to vehemently support or lambaste various things, but I don’t like them to have much substantial consequence.  Ergo, sports.

Living in Washington, DC, home to 90% of the world’s sensible suits and BlackBerries, I’ll touch politics every once in a while.  I don’t really have a choice, they put something in the water.  Of course, sometimes the world of politics manages to back into something worthwhile, so I’ll maintain a more cursory perspective on the arena, opting instead to occasionally throwing my weight onto the dogpile of some PR mishap.

Pop culture also falls into the “needlessly given attention despite meaning not much of anything” universe, so naturally I’ll talk about that a lot as well.

Basically, if reading me provides you with any information that makes your life more efficient, focused, or worthwhile in any way, I haven’t done my job.
