to begin

This blog shall be dedicated to my family and my friends at home.

Picture, if you will, a normal, suburban family of four. It is Friday night, and they would like to go out to dinner together. Father wants to try something new tonight, something spicy or classy, perhaps. Mother wants something new, but at the same time can't break from the mold of the local sub-par steakhouse. The son demands a burger. And there I sit, amidst the clamor of culinary disagreement, unable to muster up any apt ideas.

Now picture, if you please, a Saturday night. Four friends sit together in a living room, all dressed up with literally no where to go. One wants to go to a dance club. One protests, saying she hates dancing. She wants to go to a hookah bar. A third argues that we go to that hookah bar all the time, what about something new? All of us being freshly twenty-one years old, "something new" seems like a lot of work and research, which dampens the mood such to the point that we opt to watch a movie instead.

For these reasons, I am now setting to create a blog about getting out into the town and exploring. I will be succinct, and I promise to explore places that may not be my cuppa tea, but perhaps you will like them.

I am getting out.
