So, on this lovely Thursday evening, in the confines of my apartment in Oakland, with 2 cats as my witnesses, I am starting a new blog. I typically don't like posting things online, but there are a few reasons why I decided to do this:
1) I miss writing. Now that I'm done with college, I have no reason to do it, except for my own amusement. Maybe having a blog will motivate me to do it more.
2) I'm bored. Somehow, even with 3 jobs, volunteering, and training for a marathon, I have uttered the phrase "I am bored" nearly every day this week.
3) Our Boys & Girls Club site (where I work) just started a blog, and it made me want to get in on the fun.
4) I reread my study abroad blog recently and really enjoyed it.
Typically, when I'm bored and have exhausted every other option, I'll sit down and write a little story or rant about my life. I put it in a word document, save it to some crazy name, and never look at it again.
Since I moved to California these bits have mostly been musings or rants about sports topics, sort of in the style of Rick Reilly's back-page-of-SI articles. Rather than keeping them in a silly word document, I'll post them here. If people want to read and comment, great, and if not, at least I'm writing and not just stashing stuff on some unidentified flash drive never to be seen again.
Anywho, I'll start off with what I wrote earlier today!
