A Real-Life Update

So rather than post another previously published Collegian article, I thought perhaps it was time to enter the real world of blogging. I'm pretty new to this -- I actually googled "how to blog" -- so I'm just going to jump into this head first and see where it takes me.

I guess I'm a bit confused as to what this whole blogging thing is about. I mean, sure, I read my share of Perez Hilton and Obscure Sound, but what do they have in common? So I did a little research. And for anyone who's half as puzzled as myself, here's what I dug up:

Blog= web log. It differs little from an online diary. Wow. Helpful, right?

The Weblog Project offered some information in the form of a video remix:
WEBLOG PROJECT - THE REMIX

But what could I possibly say that has any relevance to the rest of the world? Who would want to read this, anyway? I'll just have to find out...

So what can you expect from me? To learn how a cynic survives college. To hear rants about anything from TV to politics to my personal life. To get a laugh or two at my expense.

It's after midnight on Friday (Saturday morning?) and I'm still moving into my dorm room, hauling shit in trashbags from my car to my undersized single in Reid Hall. But at least I wasn't ousted from a suite that I obtained with my seniority and tucked away in a dilapidated double room with a Korean exchange student (Sorry Mary!). My ass is exhausted -- and unfortunately not from a night of hard partying -- so I'm off to b-e-d to get a few good hours of sleep.

More later.
