First in A Long Line

First and foremost, let me say that I know I have ragged on bloggers in the past, but let me be clear; I ragged on the bloggers who make their blog their life. This will definitely not be my life, more of a notebook of observations and thoughts that I have on the random events in my life, and that I notice in the world around me.

As a quite note, about the title of the blog. One of my favorite phrases, for some unknown reason, is "Where is Hell anyway? And why am I in this handbasket?" So, I thought I would title it along those lines, since the attitude of the phrase seems to be the way I quite often see things.

To start off on the right note, I probably ought to layout where I am coming from, and the reason why I see things the way I do. Though I don't think I will have anyone who doesn't already know me reading this, I'll write this out just so that everyone is on the same page. And I'll list it just to make it faster.

Major: Anthropology

Minor: Marketing

Politically: Classical Liberalism (the exact opposite of modern liberals)

Religious: Latter-day Saint

Family: Oldest of 4 kids (boy, girl, boy, girl)

Pet Preference: Dog, totally (though I wouldn't be opposed to having a monkey... they're pretty awesome!) Cats Sucks!

I would say that that would sum up the most basic of influences in my life.

Since this is just the beginning, I think I am going to call it a night, since it is 1:30 in the morning.

There will definitely be more to come, and most of it is going to be my lovely observations with the twist of my point of view.

'Til next time; keep asking the question why are you in that handbasket anyway?
