For So Many Reasons

So, let's answer some questions here. Everything needs a purpose, so why the blog? Well, this year, just like last, April came around and I realized a third of the year has come and gone; and just like last April, I've begun to wonder if I've done enough with my time. Have I made the most of it?

And just like last year, the answer is inevitably no -- but I've done pretty well this year! At least, as well as I could expect to living in The District for a good third of the year up to now. I bought my first place, fighting a ridiculous battle to get a fraudulent collection pulled off my credit record, and moved in the day I bought it. This was also the day I returned from D.C., and I moved in by way of zero effort on my own part thanks to my oh-so-kickass girlfriend, friends and family. Read: Jim get on plane; Jim get picked up at airport; Jim get driven to new place; all Jim's stuff is already there! It was, by far, the greatest moving experience of my life. But I digress...

I'm writing this blog to chronicle my craziness. In the future I will be posting about a number of things, but posts will probably come about in one of several categories:

- Food, either eaten or created.

- Beer and other alcohol I've drank, brewed, or distilled.

- Hobbies I've tried out, picked up, or dropped (and there will likely be many...)

- Thoughts and notes.

So for now I'll finish watching Ed Wood -- because I haven't seen nearly enough of Johnny Depp in women's clothing... not today.
