Before I begin my blogging project, I wanted to get down a general idea of why I had decided to start my own blog.

First, I felt I should get on board the social media bandwagon. Avoidance of social media in this day in age is after all irrational, and as I’m sure you will find over the course of my posts, I find irrationality irritating. As most, if not all, major companies and  media sites have a social media element, it seems prudent to show ones ability to navigate and contribute to such ventures.

As a complimentary reason, my newly developed interest in blogging stems from my academic interests, centered around the process of research and analysis. A blog seems to me, to be an avenue by which opinions and thoughts can be expanded upon and presented to any who wish to read and comment upon it. In this sense, a blog can be a published research project, albeit a short and easily published one.

Hopefully anyone who reads my posts, if anyone does, learns something new, or at least is led to consider a topic from another angle. If not, then this project will remain a personal challenge. Either way, it begins.
