a little bit about myself

so here are some things about myself to start off my blog.

i am a graduate student working on my master's degree in criminology. if all goes as planned i should be graduating in may, but that means i should probably get my ass in gear and get my thesis done asap. i'm doing an analysis of high speed police pursuit policies. it's not as complicated as it sounds. 

when i write papers and shit for school i use correct grammar, punctuation, and all that jazz. but when i type things informally (such as this blog) then i pretty much do what i want. so get over it. i usually put about four periods behind each sentence so consider yourself lucky that i am currently only using one. 

i get really excited about things that most people would probably label as lame. but that is probably because i am lame. so many of my upcoming blog entries will probably entail me attempting to explain the inner workings of my brain, whether it be lame things i really like or lame things i really dislike. blog entries might also include issues that have me perplexed or are troubling me.

i think this introduction will suffice for now, because i could probably type random shit forever. but for right now i just realized that the movie 3 ninjas is on tv... so i must go and enjoy the shit out of it like the lame person that i am. 

i love philip defranco

I love watching the philip defranco show on youtube. He cracks me up. That is all for now. I will elaborate later.

to blog or not to blog

So I have recently decided that blogging might be a good idea for me. I am taking after JamFla because she is so badass. In addition, I used to have a xanga site that I updated and frequently which I thoroughly enjoyed. Another plus for blogging would be procrastination. During the school year I find myself constantly going online and trying to put off getting homework done for as long as possible. I feel that a blog might be a bit more productive and/or therapeutic than facebook or myspace.

So I guess this post kicks off the start of my blog!
