Welcome to The Bandwagon

First post...lots of pressure.


I have decided to start a blog because I found myself posting Notes on Facebook with more frequency. My Notes posts are usually followed by incessant chirping from loved ones, insistent that I write a book. Write a book about what? No one knows. Plus, I think you need an agent or something to get a project like that off the ground and that's not a cliff I'm ready to jump off of yet.


I write because I'm usually thinking about something over the course of a few days and finally decide to share it in an attempt to ignite some sort of conversation. "Do people agree with me or am I completely off-base when I can't find one iota of talent in Taylor Swift?" sort-of-thing. I try to work humor in when I can but sometimes I end up crying by the end of a post.


I try to stay apolitical because it's so divisive these days but most would say I'm more left than right. I am spiritual and believe in God but there's no Bible on my nightstand. For me, religion is more private; I'd never throw Jesus at you. I am open to others' opinions and in fact, welcome them. I never think mine is the end all-be all. Respect is crucial. I have been known to use four-letter words on occasion. I apologize in advance if it offends you but to me they are just words and can really make something hit home when used in the right way. And sometimes, swearing just makes you feel better.


Things you might see while riding The Bandwagon:
Live-blogging - During televised programs like award shows and sporting events.
Nostalgia - Usually occurs around holidays and family get-togethers.
Perspective - My take on major events in and around the world, i.e. 9/11, natural disasters, etc.
Social - Variety of social topics that may have recently hit home with me and usually pissed me off.
Random - Miscellaneous subject matter that will typically result in extensive free-association.
