Welcome to the Wonderful World of Disney! Er, I Mean . . .

So I’m going to try my hand at this blogging phenomenon. Listen to me, I’m writing like I’m an 80-year-old who’s trying out this, what do you call it, blogging. As if I haven’t been exposed to plenty of blogs in the course of the past few years. As if I even have anything remotely interesting to say. Well, scratch that last one. I probably have a few more worthwhile things to say than the idiots who already have a blog and just spout awful rhetoric and opinions presented as facts.

So, in the interest of not becoming one of those idiots, I’ll probably not venture into politics or religion or anything that takes opinions and presents them as facts without the stats or precedents to back anything up at all. The blog is about me (me, me, me!) and what makes me me. Some musings on my status as an academic on what is perhaps permanent hiatus (I’ll never stop being an academic, though); some musings on the events that transpire around me and what kind of thoughts they inspire in me; some musings on those people that surround me, though I will respect their privacy and a) not mention their names; b) not talk about them all that much; and c) make them aware that this blog does exist. To be frank, this blog is just an extension of the journal that I keep offline – the only difference is that all you people get to read my thoughts. Aren’t you lucky?

So, I’ll begin. In the next post. Now, for some peach cobbler.*

*Please note that I am not going off to eat peach cobbler. If you’re an MST3K fan, you’ll know of what I’m speaking.
