Well, I caved in...

So here it is – my very own blog. What am I doing here? I can’t believe it myself. This is a venue that I often mocked and ridiculed. One reserved for World of Warcraft junkies, independent music aficionados, those who do nothing but think up hypothetical MLB trades, and overly concerned toothpaste consumers.

Perhaps the primary cause for suddenly creating a blog would be yet another lonely Friday night. Well, I’m not entirely alone – Conan is here, and Craig’s on his way. The night is still relatively young though so I won’t put on my pajama pants just yet, but it’s not looking too promising. I thought college was supposed to be full of never-ending revelry and stealing your rival’s mascot. Where’s John Belushi when you need him? Heck, I’d even settle for Jim at this point.

So what can my audience (all four of you) expect from this blog? Not sure. Since many of you may not have the luxury of consistent access, I guess I’ll just provide you with what goes on in this little toy brain. I’ll cover anything from important world events to my daily affairs, from mainstream media to the soapbox preacher on campus, from esteemed historical figures to the Muppets, from deep meditation to a childish joke. The title of my blog “The Best of What’s Around” is not only my favorite Dave Matthews’ song, but I feel that it’s a fitting name for what will be an anthology of just about anything; whatever’s interesting to me at the time will make it on here.

How often will I update it? Whenever I can, but hopefully that’ll be a couple of times a week so check back frequently. Then again, I might give up on this project faster than Friends fans gave up on Joey. Probably not though since I foresee some more lonely Friday nights in the near future so thank the lack of a social life to this blog’s success.

Anyways, just as I finish off my third bowl of Lucky Charms of the night I think I’ll do the same with my first blog post. How it flew by. Stay tuned, spread the word, and feel free to make any suggestions/comments.

Oh, and take that, Kit.
