The first post of the new blog

I've been thinking about starting a blog for years, and now that nearly everyone has one, it's time.

My aim is both ambitious and unfocused, but since I'm approaching blogging as method of self-expression, self-creation, and participation in the ever-expanding, "Web 2.0" community, ambitious and unfocused are appropriate descriptors. I'm often ambitious and unfocused.

I'll occasionally link to news that I find interesting or compelling, albums I'm getting into lately, or pop culture *stuff* that catches my eye. Beyond that, readers should expect heavy doses of nostalgia, sentimentalism, and over-intellectualized musing.
