Buckeye Blog

Today I decided it’s time to start a blog.  And thanks to my good friend Shane, it’s already up and running! 

So why start a blog? 

Well, for one thing, I really enjoy writing.  There was a time when I was the sports editor for my high school newspaper (go Courier!) and then a staff writer for my college newspaper.  I even enjoy studying grammar.    But in the last several years I’ve mainly just written papers for school and audit documentation for work.  As you can imagine, neither was very enjoyable.  I miss being able to write creatively and with voice.   

But perhaps an even more important reason for creating this blog is so that my friends can read about what I’m up to when I get back home.  The hope is that reading this blog will make you feel more up-to-date with what’s going on with me, thus allowing us to remain connected.  If any of you have blogs too, let me know and I’ll be sure to read (and link) yours as well!  =) 

What am I going to write about? 

I’ll write about what’s on my mind, anecdotes from my day that I find interesting, and any announcements that I have.  I’ll also document my travels for sure—especially when I visit a new stadium or university!!  I’m most interested in sports, politics, and current events in Ohio (no surprises there), so those topics are likely to appear frequently.  

How often am I going to post?

Whenever I get the urge to write.  That won’t be everyday, but hopefully a couple times every week. 

Alright, so that’s about it for my first post.  Kinda like a purpose statement I suppose.  But in any case, I’m officially a blogger now woot!  How exciting.  Thanks for your help getting started, Shane!  (You can check out his blog by clicking on “imagine a different world” on the right side of this page).
