About My Blog

I suppose I should start by writing a mission statement for my blog, but that requires something I completely lack, a mission. I miraculously graduated in December from the beautiful University of Mississippi (affectionately known as Ole Miss to all the special people in the world) in Oxford, MS with a Bachelors of Science in Biology. By finishing school in December, I hit the ultimate jackpot. Let me explain:
  1. Ole Miss doesn't have a ceremony for December grads, so I completely avoided that "let's take 4 million pictures" day.
  2. I'm stuck in a lease until the end of July. That might not sound great to you, but it gives me a concrete reason to continue to reside in this wonderfully quirky town.
  3. There are no real career opportunities readily available after December graduation, so I conveniently do not feel obliged to work full time.
  4. I won't miss a single Ole Miss basketball, baseball, tennis, track & field, ping pong, chinese checkers, or scrabble competition all spring due to "academic" reasons. By the way, if you need your tent set up during busy baseball weekends, I think your wallet and my free time could make an arrangement.
  5. No 8 a.m. biology classes. Duh.

Okay, so I only could think of five, but I'm quite certain there are a million reasons. Due to my abundance of free time (well, maybe inexpensive time is more appropriate) I am currently working on several writing projects. I'm currently the middle of writing one of the worst screenplays ever, but it is very funny if I say so myself. In fact, that's a warning. If you have ever done something regrettable in front of me, I have probably included it in my movie. A friend of mine has suggested that I should turn the script into a book about crazy college stories, which would be a clever excuse for traveling to college campuses around the nation. For now, I'm going to stick to writing as usual and mocking white (sorry, I really should say caucasian) kids dancing like they're possessed in Oxford bars. I'll try and keep the blog updated every few days so as not to starve the needy. If I haven't posted for a period of time, please notify my lovely parents that their son is missing or on a nasty bender.

Cheers kids
