So...

...yeah.

You know, despite my myriad complaints about every english class I've ever taken, I actually do like to write. I even like to think I'm pretty good at it...most of the time. The problem is that what I enjoy writing falls under the category of "creative writing" and the closest a required english class gets to that is the "personal narrative." Which was always followed by the "comparison/constrast", "literature analysis" and "persuasive" essays. I'm telling you, the reason high school always seemed to drag on was because they made us take nearly identical english classes every semester. They pounded the outline for a five-paragraph essay into my brain for four years and managed to knock most of the creativity right out.

So...what was the point of that mild rant on the inanity of the education system and why is it my first post in this blog? Well...

I like to write. I just haven't written anything for fun in so long that I seem to have forgotten how. The idea is that even if I'm writing short posts with little to no meaning, at least I'm writing something. Really, don't expect anything profound here. You're not likely to get more than random comments at one am on the lack of common sense displayed by the general populace. Words on the screen, that's the goal here.
