Hey, why a blog?

Hello and welcome. You have entered the blog of a man who is learned, hilarious, handsome, insightful, innovative, unique, and most importantly he kicks ass. I have been planning on putting my thoughts down on paper for a while now. Being the self aware scholar that I am I asked myself a short while back what are the 5 most important things in my life. Here is what I came up with:

• God (Even though it is incredibly trendy not to, I believe in god)
• Family (Most likely the best in the world)
• Friends (see description for family)
• My thoughts, memories, values, goals, and ideas
• Sports (sad but true)

Just about the time I gathered this incredibly introspective list I was watching a television series entitled Californication starring an actor who looks strikingly like David Duchovny (but is not nearly as creepy). In between all of the dark humor and raunchy sex scenes was a conversation between non creepy Duchovny, who happens to be a writer, and his father. In the conversation his father, who is getting on in years, reflects on his sons choice of profession and infers that writing can do three things. It can inspire people to think, it can stand the test of time, and it helps when you are trying to get laid. These reasons (not so much #3), ladies and gentleman are what inspired me to start my own blog.

I plan on writing things that are interesting sometimes and funny other times. I plan on posting on many topics. Most will be general, some will be about me, some will be about others, but all will be either thought provoking, entertaining, or both. This blog will act as a storage space for memories, thoughts, and my unbelievably hilarious jokes. It will be the equivalent of taking a picture of a moment, an idea, or the current social/political climate. It will give my children the opportunity to know me and the world I lived in. It will allow the people in my life to connect with me and maybe even get to know me better. It will enrich the the lives of those who read it and they will enrich the lives of those around them. The world will be a better place.
