Let's do this thing!

So essentially, this little project is the result of a few influencing factors:

1-Jen Lancaster, Author and Blogger (and also maybe my kindred spirit)
www.jennsylvania.com - check it out. You won't be disappointed.
Ms. Lancaster is a self-proclaimed condescending, egomaniacal, self-centered, smart-ass ex-sorority girl. In short, I heart her. My only issue is her love of pearls. I tend to be anti-pearl. Consider it a rebellion against my uber-preppy, nantucket red (it's pink, quit trying to make it manly. and lose the damn whales), poppin' my collar collegiate student body. She has three books out right now, with a fourth recently released. Scoot yourselves over to the local B&N, maybe snag a little SBucks latte, and enjoy. No, I don't know her, I'm just showing her a little love as her books have helped me survive many hours on planes, trains, and automobiles.

2-Boredom
Pretty much I need something to do outside of work that may be considered productive. Why not share my life and opinions with others? Why, MTV has managed to transform what was a music channel (don't worry kiddies, I barely remember the days when there were actual music videos on Music TeleVision) to a highly lucrative cable channel almost entirely devoted to sharing the mundane aspects of others lives with the world. Here's hoping my writing is mildly more entertaining then the latest episode of The Dudesons in America.

3-Books! (clearly)
I read. Often. Unfortunately, I have the memory of a goldfish, and I need somewhere to jot down my (less-then-expert) opinion. Also, this is partially rectifying the fact that I was a business major in college, despite no actual legitimate interest in the subject, and probably should have been a english major. Ergo, I'm writing now. About what I want, no less. Cheers!
