Purpose

I have never had a blog before, and I honestly don't know how long this will last, but I really liked the idea of being able to rant and rave about things without having to personally annoy my friends and family with them. I figured, this way I could write, and whomever wanted to read it would do so. I think something I have told numerous people sums up, at least partially, why I started this: "If I posted everything I wanted to on Facebook, I would have absolutely no friends." The reason? So many idiosyncrasies or beliefs that people have on a host of topics very much either a) irritate the hell out of me or b) are so taboo to talk about publicly that I would be isolating not only myself but a certain few people, and no one likes that.  Some of the topics that I would like to blog about, at some point or another, are (in no particular order):

• How much babies are able to piss me off in such a short amount of time
• Religion
• Politics
• Painful grammar (Oxford commas; using "your" and "you're" correctly, etc.)
• Ridiculous beliefs people pass as legitimate (Astrology and Horoscopes, Alien abductions (for now), etc.) 
• Drug legalization
• "l33t" speak and how it is not English
• Tupac and Biggie
• Bees, Bears, and Beards (really, just the latter two, but I love alliterations)
• Books that I would recommend to the nonfiction reader
• Logical fallacies common in everyday life
• Why I love UT Football and hate Lane Kiffin
• Quotes that I wish I could regularly use (for example: "I only smoke blunts if they rolled proper." - Biggie Smalls)
• Skinny jeans on males and females: definitely a much needed double-standard
• People who argue for the sake of arguing who employ terrible arguments
• Mathematical beauty to the mathematics hater

These are just a few things that popped into my mind in all of five minutes while I was typing, and I wrote out an excessive amount of them so that I would remember them. I will post a new blog starting this list later, but I figured this is a good start for now.
