First post! Hooray for me!
This is my first time posting on a Blog. It’s also hopefully the last time I time I ever type the word Blog. I hate the word. I hate the word even more than I hate Chuck Norris and I HATE me some Chuck Norris to be sure. From now on I’m going to call it Steve.
I’m not even really sure why people do these other than to amuse themselves and their friends by composing witty prose in relation to their lives, but hey, fuck it; I’m a journalism graduate student so it seems necessary that I do it too.
Actually, I think these things are great. I check out Brent and Jared’s whenever I can. Those two never cease to amuse me—however, that’s not saying much as I am amused by the sight of the UPS guy pulling into the apartment complex in hopes that he’s bringing me something I forgot I ordered. It’s like freakin’ Christmas when the UPS guy comes into the building; I think the kiddies here even like him more than Santa. Santa is a scary, scary man.
So I’ve successfully completed one full semester of graduate work at Iowa State and begun another. As should be abundantly obvious, my motivation is sorely lacking… at best… I should be doing any number of productive things at the moment; like cleaning my shit up that I have so lovingly scattered across the floor of my living room, or studying Statistics since I have as much knowledge about math as a chimpanzee who throws darts at a dart board and randomly gets the right answer when he hits the 20 spot.
This is the part where I would normally say, “But I digress,” however, that is what a Steve is all about; one long, giant, festering digression. Ain’t it cool? Well, I’m going to keep this post short. If something cool happens, I’ll definitely post it here. Au revoir! (I had to Google how to spell that, by the way.)
