I tried this whole blogging thing back in college when it first came to popularity; it suited me in the same way that keeping a journal in my younger years did -- my life is really not that interesting, and when something interesting does happen, it's so far removed from the last interesting thing that anyone trying to keep up with my blog had already given up. If you made it past that rather long first sentence, I applaud you.
A few months ago the bright idea popped into my head that rather than journaling my own personal experiences, I'd start a blog to condense all my commentary on modern issues into one convenient location. I always have a sincere desire to post my response to various articles I see in my daily perusing of the internet, but I find the whole 'commenting' thing frustrating. Half the time my feelings are just going to be lost in a 200-something deep pile of people making simple 'I agree' or 'I disagree' posts or trolls posting about stupid and mostly unrelated topics or bots posting about how I can get discounted handbags and millionaire spouses if I go to their trojan-riddled, keylogging sites. All this combined with my poor fiancé having to bear the brunt of my rantings over this, that, and the other, has led me to this.
Will more than a handful of people ever actually read this? Probably not. However, at least it keeps all of my opinions, crazy though they may be, wrapped up in a neat little package.
