Hey Everyone,
So this is my inaugural post. It may be the first for a while. I just wanted to set everything up and write a little background. If I ever start using this frequently, I'll probably move this post into some sort of bio section.
Why start a blog? I have two reasons. The first is that I'm setting off on this new adventure, and I'd like to stay anchored and analyze the experience. So it's like a diary, only far more masculine. I also want to keep my friends and family up to date on how life's treating me
To give a brief background: I'm 26 years old, living in New Haven, Connecticut, and I just started my first year at the Yale Law School. (Wikipedia article provided for convenience: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yale_Law_School) My roots run deep in Ohio--headquarters for nearly all family and friends, and Kentucky, which I've learned is where my family gets its bravado and culture. That explains the blog's name: I am an Appalachian white boy in style and disposition, but I've just begun training at the world's premier center for elites. So I come from one world and I'm joining a bizarrely different one, and I don't know what to think about it. If nothing else, this blog will strive to do just that--think about it.
I also think it's nice to have an outlet, so I'll probably spout off about politics, sports, news, etc. Once I start posting regularly, I'll send this thing out to everyone.
For now, I need to get something to eat. I could really go for some soup beans n' cornbread, but I'll probably have to settle on Thai food. I don't know of any place that sells cornbread, but there five Thai places within walking distance of my house. Yep, not in Kansas anymore.
