Disclaimer:

You’re probably asking yourself the same question that I’m asking myself right now. That is, why a blog? To be honest, I don’t have a concrete answer for yah. I truly honest to God don’t, for there are actually several different little answers to the big one. For one, I just want to do one. I like to write. I really do. I don’t know if anyone will read it, but what do I have to lose. I might enjoy the idea of writing stuff down that runs through my head no matter what the thought is. Some of it may be random, for I can be a very random kind of guy. Others may be insightful, because I do have my moments (as crazy as that may sound). Then there may be some that just put my insight from the sensitive to the machismo and maybe even more. So, like I said, what do I have to lose?

Second, I’m doing it because I figure if I continue to write I can keep that academic, college self still around. I’ve been in college for years now. I beat Chris Farley’s record in the movie “Tommy Boy” for crying out loud. Although, I must say, it was not Herbie Hancock that was one of the signers for the Declaration of Independence. Thanks history degree. I understand the value of a creative mind, and add some college education behind it; I don’t want to lose that. I don’t mind working a blue-collar job that turns me into a mindless drone to do simple tasks and make a decent living. I’m down for it, but I don’t want to lose the essence of me that I learned at college. I do have a southern mind, but I also have a northern education. I don’t want to lose that, so I’m doing this to keep my mind attuned to my writing ability. Hope it works. I’ll let you know after I’m done with my last two classes.

Third, this is my thoughts being put down in an archive for anyone to see. That’s awesome! So if I get older, my grandchild can read me or to himself my life stories, issues, and thinking processes. Sounds like a great way to stay young. Then again, it’s also a fantastic way for if I die young before I can be a father or a husband; this can be my legacy to my family. I’m an introvert personality with extrovert visualization. HUH? What I mean is I really don’t truly voice my inside thoughts or persona. I tend to let my emotions get seen when I’m angry, annoyed, happy, etc. You know, “wearing your emotions like a badge on your sleeve?” The real result is never truly heard. I’m always there to help anyone in need, but when I need help I tend to brush it off. This can be my way to set the record straight on who I was if anyone wants to say otherwise.

Finally, this is me being me. I hope that somehow in some way what I write helps educate the people of the future. I can’t teach. That involves patience I don’t have. Kids these days have no respect for their elders and where they are and where they came from. It sickens me. I miss the REAL Mtv, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon in all its glory, and TMNT. This is my way of educating the youth of what to do and what not to do. Do as I say, not as I do. Besides, for those who can’t learn, teach. That’s exactly what I’m going to do.

SO…if you don’t mind some southern slang written within an academic style of writing (what I’ve always wanted to do in college) with a taste for youthful exuberance mixed with some gratuitous sex and violence along with crude humor and some cursing here and there; this is your blog. Hopefully I can be creative, funny, insightful, and knowledgeable with my writings and stay within the correct realm of grammar. I doubt it, but fuck ‘em if they can’t take a joke. 

Hope you enjoy, and as always…Roll Tide Roll (RTR shorthand) and AEKDB.
