Inane Muttering

Day 2 arrives, and yet I still probably have little of consequence to say. I must admit that I'm not really sure what exactly constitutes blog etiquette. I'm writing this mostly for my own benefit I think. I hold no illusions about being funny or having anything too important to say, but maybe I do want to be somewhat relevant and interesting. Relevant. That's one of those words that I've decided to despise. I took a class on the "Developmental Processes of Leadership" in January, and the temptation of relevance was apparently something that a good leader should try to avoid. Ridiculous. If we aren't relevant then how can we hope to establish a connection with people? I understand the context of it, having to constantly update yourself to new things tends to be a waste of time, but I hate the way that buzzwords are thrown around in a manner that groups people together. I promise that some point soon I'll try to make a more coherent post outlining myself. Maybe.

Emptiness

So I'm dumb. Let's just say that right now. I decided to start this "blog" thing at 12:45 AM in the Student Union of my local University. Maybe someday I'll write the whole story down, but for now we'll just call it the Union. Anyway, I just wrote a pretty small lab report for my analytical chemistry class, and my best friend decided to tell me about her renewed desire to journal her thoughts. Somehow that got me here. This is the first and probably terribly inauspicious blog post. I have 12 minutes to get back to the dorm before the door locks. I don't have a key. So I have to write about SOMETHING pretty quickly. Continuing the I'm dumb theme, I have to say that I'm pretty bad at relating to shallow people. I'm trying to write this stuff down so that I can put together a coherent theory about my own personal worldview. I'm pretty sure it's one of the more twisted ideas you'll see written down, but maybe somebody somewhere might stumble across this someday and actually connect with something I say. Long thesis; hopefully shorter points. I think too much. Next on the agenda: overview/outline/Christian stuff/workable starting point. The end.
