Ah! A fresh, new blog!

For a few years now, I've thought about starting up a blog, but something always held me back. I mean, anything I have to say has probably already been said by countless other bloggers and traditional media commentators, so who cares what I have to say?

There's just something so seductive about creating your own blog, though. You get to say exactly what you think in a (semi)-public forum, you get to craft your arguments, and best of all you get to tell people off in a really elegant way.

Really, a blog is just a power-tripper's way of telling everyone what to do and think. I'm no exception.

Unfortunately, I can also be pretty wrong when it comes to current events... it's hard not to be fooled by the countless other media and bloggers out there. How can one single person stay on top of everything that happens in the world? Or their ramifications? Plus, PR people are constantly spinning and spinning so we'll never know the real truth behind anything -- not even when the authorized, official accounts come out.

So that's what this blog will be about: spouting my opinion whether or not I really know anything. You all can tell me when I've lost my marbles.
