This is my official first post! I am a little anxious to be writing for an audience, even if it is most likely an audience of one (greetings Professor Wood!), but I am also kind of excited to be writing on a consistent basis because I really need the practice. Writing in a conversational style will probably make it much easier to make grammatical errors, but I hope I don't slip up and use too much slang. I will try to 'bling out' my blog later, but for now, here is an awesome painting:

I just discovered Salvador Dali and he has easily become one of my favorite artists. I don't know much about him yet, other than that he was a Spanish surrealist artist with a crazy mustache, but his art is great. (You can find most of his stuff here if you are interested.)

Well, I hope everyone has a shitty labor day weekend, as I will be working all three days.
