The first is always....the first.

Well, I finally went and did it, I started a blog. It is something that I have been thinking about for sometime now, but never got around to it for whatever reason. Of course now everyone and their half-brother has one of these things, but I guess that isn't really the point. I mean everyone ended up at least saying they liked Nirvana, but that doesn't lessen their talent or impact. The reason that I started one of "these here new fangled things" is due to an encounter last night at my girlfriend's New Year's Eve party.

After the countdown was counted-down and Regis was done talking and we had woken up all the neighbors, I got into a conversation with a friend of a friend. It was through this conversation that I finally decided to give birth to a blog. Now it wasn't because this person said, "You should start a blog," but the conversation did leave me convinced nonetheless. To understand why I started this you must first understand that I consider myself to be somewhat of a music snob, "I like what I like and what you like isn't that good." This person I met last night, however, makes me look like an all accepting music-phile with no musical taste whatsoever. I thought to myself, "If this snobby snoberson can post her opinions online, why can't I?" So, after I wiped the haze from my eyes I realized that a blog might be exactly the thing I have been looking for. I thought back to an editorial that wrote for the Indiana Student Union not too long ago (see next post) and realized that a blog would fit nicely into my hopes and wants. I then thought that maybe it would be something that others would need to, so you might see other "lighter people" posting soon. Anyway, I start this purely for selfish reasons and if someone else gets a kick out of it, then it will make me smile slightly.
