Xanga?Myspace?pfffttt!

I’ve finally decided to create a more “grown up” blog site so that I can write about stuff that pertains to…well, more “serious” stuff. I made a xanga back in 9th grade. Got tired of that. Started using my myspace blog, but figured it would be best if I left that only for my friends and family (due to the personal stuff that it contains). I needed somewhere to discuss various things, that I happen to bore others with, and WordPress seemed like quite the place to be.I’m using this blog to mainly express my political views and thoughts on various current events. Sure, i’ll write the occasional funny stuff, but I will try really hard to stick to serious stuff.

First of all, I am politically moderate, so what I write here will be bearable for both liberals and conservatives. I will more than likely give a lot of pros and cons rather than write stuff like ” Liberals are scum!” or “Those damn redneck conservatives!”. I basically woke up one day and smelled the coffee. It doesn’t matter which side of the table you are on, you’re just as close to the middle as the person sitting opposite from you. If you are in the middle, you have room for compromise and an open-minded view. You are able to see both sides of an issue and make your own decision, not the decision that everyone else on your side decides to make. The farther you are from the middle, the narrower your understanding for the other side will become.

I’m a young, politically active college student that is full of opinions. I’ll share them here because I want to, not because I want to force my views on someone else. My only goal is to build as much traffic to this blog as possible. My myspace blog gets a lot of traffic, and I have no idea why.

Unfortunately, I feel like i’m talking to a wall right now… so I think i’ll stop now.
