So I haven't had a blog in ages. I mean the closest thing I ever had to a blog was xanga. I loved that shit back in the day, I xanga'ed all throughout high school like it was going out of style. And then it did. So yeah. I'm starting this "new" blog for a few reasons.

First of all I'm going to be in China for two weeks and I would like a place to record stuff. I forget things easily. Very easily. And I've never really been a big picture taker. But as most of you know, I love talking. A lot. I also happen to enjoy writing a great deal so this all works out. So part of this is to simply record what happens to me in China so I don't forget it all the day after it happens.

Secondly, I would like to have all of you informed as to what I'm up to while I'm out of the country, especially since Facebook won't be around. To be honest though, Facebook is far less useful when you're not using it to plan things socially. Don't get me wrong, I love to post things on people's walls and share hilarious gifs and all that, but technically email does that too. Anyway the point is I want my friends to read this and be jealous and shit. You're welcome.

Thirdly, I actually want to update how my Bonnaroo went but I didn't have time this past week to really record it that well. So I plan on posting each day here on this blog and then essentially copy-pasting it into Facebook notes later.

Fourthly, I hope this ends up morphing into a non-travel oriented blog after I get back from China. When I write too much I tend to spend a lot of time in my head, which can be a good and a bad thing. I would like to get back to writing more though, so I figured this is a risk I'm willing to take. Plus if I'm convinced people will actually read this, maybe I'll actually update it. Who knows. So, I hope my friends are reading this, and if you're not then fine you suck and clearly don't care about me or how I'm doing guilttripguilttripguilttrip
