Introduction

Well, this is it. My blog. To be upfront, I don't like the idea of a blog. It feels arrogant and self-indulgent. People generally don't care what I have to say, outside a few dozen people in DC and Florida. And yet here I am, preparing to inflict my opinions on sports, Christian theology, politics, science, and everything in between, on the world at large. Why do it, then? Well, to be honest I kind of view this as my personal journal. I've tried keeping them on physical paper or word documents before but it never worked. I got bored. I think the problem rested with the fact that I just tried to recount my daily schedule and what happened to me, which was not a very good read; I also did not enjoy having to recount my whole day to a blank piece of paper. I know my day, journal, I was just there. So instead this will serve as kind of an outlet for various thought I have on whatever issues interest me. Perhaps commentary on current politics, or I'm sure that numerous posts will deal with my thoughts on my faith. I'm sure I will have posts complaining about the Twins and Vikings as well. For whom am I writing this? Myself, to be honest. I seriously doubt that anyone besides yours truly will ever come across this blog, though I suppose its fine if someone does. That thought is probably one thing that will help me keep posting, though I don't find it particularly appealing. I am writing this for myself, I think it will be interesting to see my thoughts on various issues as be able to look back at them. Hello, future Sam. This is our blog. I hope you enjoy and my current self doesn't embarrass my future self too much. I think I shall begin work on my first real post. I would pour myself some scotch but I am out, so wine it is.
