Ever since the concept of the blog came about, I've been reluctant to pursue it. It seemed that all of a sudden everyone became a self-proclaimed expert on everything, and I didn't see the point of adding my voice to the ever-increasing noise that ensued. I thought writing should be left to the experts. We are currently living through a nightmare of what happens when someone with zero expertise and experience is put in a position where expertise and experience matter. It's not good.

That said, I still have thoughts, opinions, and ideas that I believe are valid. I think I'm doing this blog as a way of getting them out of my head. If others want to read them, fine. If they don't, fine. I'd like to use this platform as a method of refining my own inner-monologue. If I think there's a chance that anyone else might read it, it forces me to think about what it is I want to say and how I want to articulate it. It forces me to think more critically and write more intentionally. 

So welcome to my world of current events, photography, attempts at witticisms, cats, books, movies & television, and whatever else comes to mind. I have no idea what this will end up being, but lord knows I have some time on my hands right now, so let's give this a shot and see where it goes (and, in the process, see how tech savvy I am or am not).
