If you asked me a year ago if I had ever thought about blogging I would probably have laughed in your face, taken a second to compose myself and then retorted with an unnecessarily snide remark. No, you wouldn’t have deserved it, but sometimes I can be a real jerk. A hypocritical one at that, as here I sit typing my first blog entry. The details behind this change in attitude are nothing short of disgustingly boring, so I won’t get into that. All that really needs to be said on the matter is that I now plan on maintaining a blog with somewhere between two and eighty-four posts a week. Probably closer to two.
Today’s topic is Ryan Overturf.
Who is that and why should I care about his stupid web journal?
Good question. I’m glad you asked, though I do think that it was rude of you to call my blog stupid. You haven't even finished half of the first entry yet.
I’m a 21 year-old senior at Winona State University, double-majoring in political science and communication studies with a minor in philosophy. I’m entirely clueless about what I want to do after I graduate. Outside of “get employed,” that is. I’ve lived in Minnesota my entire life, which is rather surprising to some people. My lack of a Midwestern accent coupled with my loathing of cold weather makes my actual life story a bit of a hard sell. I think that my negative feelings about winter are validated simply by the fact that you can’t disc golf in the snow. Additionally I despise the Minnesota Vikings. They constantly disappoint my friends and will never win the Super Bowl. Ever. I’m currently a member of RunnerUp Comedy. We operate out of Winona State and are primarily an improv comedy group. We also perform some written materials, such as skits and standup and occasionally we play competitive dodge ball. I spend much of my free time playing games. The list of games that I love playing is rather extensive, including Monopoly, Risk, Cribbage, Hearts, Euchre, Catchphrase and Texas hold ‘em. I take all of these games very seriously. Especially Monopoly. Anybody who says that Monopoly is luck-based needs to sit down and have a chat with my win percentage. Other than that I spend the rest of my time watching television.
If that last line didn’t sell you on reading my blog then I don’t know what will.
I think that’s sufficient for a first entry. If everything goes according to plan then I’ll have something spicier posted on Thursday. Until then, thanks for reading.
