It was time.

To me, blogging has always seemed a bit...narcissistic. Creating an entire website for the sake of exhibiting my own thoughts, ideas, and ramblings and entertaining the possibility that others might actually care enough to read it...well, who has the time to be so self-centered?

Answer: My brother, Jason Parks. He's one of the most narcissistic people I know. But he's also one of the best writers I know, and reading his blog has inspired me to begin this venture. (In fact, I stole the concept for my blog title and website name from him--mostly because sitting around trying to come up with a witty name sounded like too much work.)

So here I am, with plenty of time on my hands and plenty of thoughts and ideas racing through my head. This will be a new experience for me. When I have blogged before, it has been about something, for a purpose. This time, this is just me. This will be my outlet for my ramblings on college life, music, travel, culture, and maybe even the occasional drunk rant about women and farm animals. Mark Zuckerberg had to start somewhere, and maybe this blog will be the jumping-off point for my next multi-billion dollar business venture. Then again, maybe not.
