Back on Topic

I started this blog as kind of a school social experiment. It was going to be titled A Day in the Life of a 36-year old Married College Student but that was too wordy. But after a couple of days of posting I decided that I didn't want to only appeal to my fellow Golden Panthers. I mean, the best I could possibly hope for would be that 10% of the student body would read it, which would limit me to 3800-3900 readers. So I decided to spin off and just do more of a random, play it by ear style of blog. Granted, I am new to the blogging world and have yet to perfect the art of writing an interesting, grab the reader by the seat of the pants blog, if such a thing exists.
I spend plenty of time researching other blogs to find what works and what doesn't and as I've mentioned before, Working Girl (work-girl.blogspot.com) is the best thing going. She's topical, current, funny and interesting. The blogs that I absolutely hate are the photo blogs. Type something, PLEASE! Tell me what I am looking at. These people that just take pictures of their kids or vacation spots and post them on a blog without any narrative are just God awful boring, in my humble opinion (IMHO, the H could also stand for honest, honestly).
But Tuesdays and Thursdays are school days for me so I figure that those would be the best days to go back on topic. Once football season starts, Mondays will be reserved for my reviews of the weekend's action. Annoying People will continue to be a weekly feature and perhaps a beer review will pop up here and there. I've got a stat counter tracking the daily traffic and each day the number of people stopping by has increased a bit and so has the number of returning visitors so I guess a few of you might find my musings tolerable.
So without further adieu, today's school topic is......you just read it. See you tomorrow.
