Five Reasons Why This Blog Is a Bad Idea

(in no particular order)

ONE
Potential employers, friends, or romantic liaisons could read this and decide that (1) I'm a horrible human being, (2) a bad writer, or, more likely, (3) both. What's worse, the fact that I just used the phrase "romantic liaisons" will certainly cause this fear to be realized.

TWO
A blog is not a substitute for a friend. Or mindlessly facebooking. Or a life.

THREE
I've started at least five of these things, and, with one notable exception, the now-defunct group blog, The B Sides, I have never posted more than a couple of times.

FOUR
I'm trying this new thing where I try to keep my life somewhat in order. So far, no success, but, then again, I've only been trying for two days. I doubt this will do much except steal time away from my noble but undoubtedly doomed-to-fail goal.

As I sit here writing this, my room is so full of shit that is actually level with my bed. Clothes have long since began to overflow from my dirty clothes hamper. I haven't shaved in at least a week. I have two very long papers due in about a week, and, for some reason, it seems I haven't gotten paid for the last three months of my rather demeaning and taxing work. So, yeah, what I really should be doing right now is starting a blog.

FIVE
I stole the name for this blog from the name of a friend's photo album. Sorry, Lindsay.
