Introduction

In a bout of egotism I've decided to start a blog (I've tried before. I failed). I'm an avid message board poster, and have been for about seven years now, and I figured that if I can contribute pages and pages to forum topics (I think my record is about 30 posts in a single thread, each one pretty long and detailed) then there's no reason why I can't organize my thoughts in a single location. Some of this may be cut and pasted or modified from posts, most of it probably won't be. I doubt anyone will be reading this, I certainly have more of an audience on forums, but it seems more efficient to have one place to post everything.

So, as a bit of an introduction, I'm a fan of music, and probably liberal politically. I say probably because, while I am a huge advocate of personal liberties, I'm ultimately fairly utilitarian to that end. Sometimes liberal policies work, sometimes conservative policies work, and I probably lean more heavily towards liberal policies now but it isn't because of some innate unchanging code of ethics, just because they seem to work better. I care more about results than ideology, especially when it comes to economic issues. If you disagree strongly with me, I don't think you're terrible or unintelligent, please don't think the same about me either. I enjoy considering issues, I'm really not cemented in any of them. Really, I'll probably write more about music than politics, because music is much more interesting and much less controversial.

My blog's title is just the name of a Circle Takes the Square song. Seriously, I suck at picking out names, so I just scrolled through my iTunes library for something that might describe a blog. It isn't a perfect title, but I think it fits well enough.

That's my introduction. Goodbye for now, I'm sick of writing about myself.
