First Posting

So, I've given in and started a blog. I'm planning on just keeping track of some personal musings and opinions on current events. I'd like a way to keep track of what is going on in my life and around the world, and thought this might just work. We'll see.

I'm generally not that talented of a writer but hope to perhaps improve upon that through regular practice on this thing. It seems like the only time I ever write is for school or work, and that's pretty pathetic. I'm also going to try and up my pleasure reading this year, so I'll use this to keep track of my progress.

We'll see how it goes.
