Welcome To My Blog

Logically it would make sense to post this entry first, but I think posting it later is more dramatic. Welcome to my spot on the internet, where I can ramble on and pontificate as much as I see fit.

This is my second blog, so I've been around the block a few times. Today and tomorrow I will be importing a few choice previous posts, so enjoy.

I'm a young gay professional in Washington DC, which makes me very unique. Well, unique in the sense that I don't live in Dupont or around U Street/Columbia Heights. My job is boring, useless, and in no way lets me take advantage of my desire to write interesting things, which is to your benefit, you blog readers you. And since I don't have an editor, I will take full advantage of using the Oxford comma in situations such as this, this, and this.

I have an interest in cooking, politics, reading, and homosexuality. I'm a bit of an Anglophile, and adore Andrew Sullivan and Stephen Fry. Musically, my tastes range from overweight black American blues musicians from the 1940s and '50s, to white middle class British guys from the 1960s and '70s who try to sound like overweight black American blues musicians from the 1940s and '50s. I'm a good liberal in that I enjoy NPR and PBS, and feel like a serial murder for buying things in a store and forgetting to have brought a 110% recycled bag, the proceeds of whose purchase goes to save the baby seals.

As for this blog, I plan a mix of serious thoughts, irreverent humor, and only accidental links to pornography. I will also try to link to great examples of long-form narrative journalism (my favorite kind of narrative journalism), before those publications firewall the articles.
