ANOTHER SECOND TIME AROUND

A few weeks ago, I commented on a buddy of mine's blog, and he asked me why I didn't have one of my own.
I thought "that's a really good question", then I had an Apocalypse Now flashback.
For those of you who remember, I tried this a few times before. All the memories from high school inspired by the Friedmanites. I remembered the "blog wars" that followed that nearly tore apart friendships that lasted three long years. I remembered everybody's mundane "guess the lyrics" posts (which I was guilty of). I remembered the blog thing fading once everyone went to school, even though I was the master of "This Day in A-Kids History.
I tried to keep it going in college, maybe just because I needed an outlet, but I think it faded away with the Facebook/MySpace invasion. I think fittingly my last post had to do with having to pass on a reunion trip to Lake Burton in the summer of '06. And this doesn't count the abortion that was my blog for PR class that I really did only because I had to.
And here we are.
Maybe it was the move, or the general transition point in life I'm in right now, but my mind's been racing a lot lately. I've had a lot of moments where I've really wanted to get a lot of stuff out but couldn't. I reached the point this weekend where I couldn't sleep one night because I had so much on my mind, a lot of little things really out of my control that may or may not even happen in the end. That's when I decided this couldn't hurt.
Periodically, I'll come on here to muse about whatever. I'll probably share stories or thoughts on the people who make my life worth living. Knowing my penchant for pop culture and sports, I'm sure I'll rant about that every once in a while. I know there's a lot of you that bitch about having to read song lyrics in blogs...I like them and will probably use them (or some allusion to a song) frequently, so deal with it. I also think I'll try to keep a form of "This Day in History" alive...maybe just longer reflections on the great days of the past (I'm a nostalgic freak; deal with that too).
I've already got a ton on my mind I wanna write about, so I'm sure there'll be posting a plenty in the near future.
Can I bring the humor of McCluca? Probably not, but I'll damn sure try.
What else is there to say...that's all for now, be nice.
