The First of the Posts

Welcome, adventurous reader, to the new blog. As of today, February 23, 2005, this blog is written in Cincinnati, Ohio. I am a currently a student at the Universtiy of Cincinnati. My name is Derek.
Now the the preliminary information has been taken care of, what should I do now? I intend to use this blog to accomplish a few things, however these may change as time goes by.
The first is that I find writing to be theraputic. My life has been stressful of late, and writing my feelings down keeps me... I would say "sane" but I believe "slightly less insane" is more accurate.
The second is that I have a very full mind. Writing my thoughts down allows me to organize them, which makes my mind more organized and therefore I can both concentrate better and come up with more ideas.
The third is that I want people to read what I have to say. This is very difficult to do when you have not written it down. Therefore, I must have a place in which to write it down. This is that place.

I will update this when I feel the need. That way I do not give myself unreasonable deadlines to a reader base of... well, no one. Feel free to peruse my thoughts, comment on them to me if you like (I would love to hear from you). Above all, enjoy!
