Harbinger of Senselessness

This is a a sign of things to come. Get out while you still can.

I think the idea of blogging is incredible; I did it periodically on Myspace back when people actually used it and didn't reserve it for promoting a band that has yet to write a song or advertising a dating website. The difference between Myspace blogging and straight blogging, though, is that Myspace isn't a literary community by any stretch of the phrase, so blogs would get viewed but not read. And what's the point of that?

I'm not vain enough to expect readers so this blog was made for my own use with the hope that others tag along for the ride on occasion. It won't be a thrill but hopefully the view is tolerable.

I love to document things. I love making lists and having hard copies of assignments and writing down on sticky notes good words and phrases I hear or read. Things leave too quickly without proper documentation.

So I'm making this my portal for musings on music, movies, literature, and life. I consider myself pretty well-versed in the first three. The fourth is just speculation. This blog will be my documented summer as I'll be working at a job that requires little attention but a great deal of diversion. And I've got itchy keyboard fingers.
