The Debut Post

Greetings readers! I have officially taken the first big step towards “Super Blogger” status by purchasing my own domain and server space. It’ll only be a matter of time before Heather B. Armstrong of dooce.com herself is leaving comments on this very blog. Perez Hilton too, although (s)he wouldn’t be welcome.
Thus, all future postings about life, the outdoors, sexual maneuvers beyond the missionary, etc. will be on this site here, not that pool of closed minded highschoolers/college freshman that is Xanga. I’m kidding, and really I can’t even talk. My initial concept for this post was to compile a “Greatest Hits from Xanga”. To achieve this, I clicked the “Oldest” link on my Xanga and was taken all the way back to February 15, 2005 to my very first post. I then started working forward, searching for only the finest posts to include in my greatest hits post. Alas, I found myself more embarrassed by my old posts than impressed. Back then, I definitely fit into the aforementioned pool of sexual frustration, inner beauty, and unsolicited generalizations. Xanga, and its users, are great. It’s a collection of young minds expressing their concerns, beliefs, and opinions during the quest for higher knowledge and the transition from adolescence to adulthood. Although I may find my old posts embarrassing, they serve as landmarks on my own road to the real world, and I’m glad to have them. Therefore, on this new blog, I will continue to exhibit the same witty/cheesy, pushing-the-envelope, idiot-savant style of writing broken up with the occasional deep and thought-provoking remark. It’ll be somewhat profound, awkwardly funny, and above all, Absolutely Andrew.
(told you it’d be cheesy)
