The time has come. After months, no wait, years of procrastination, I have finally decided to start a blog. As much as it pains me to give my journalism professors the satisfaction of actually heeding their advice and joining hands with technology in the quest for "digital media convergence," I feel that if I truly do want to become one with my major, my thoughts must be let loose for the world to see, not on a tailored sheet of paper, or over the airwaves of a radio station, but on the screen of someone's shiny chrome laptop in China.
I guess now that I have let my reasoning for starting this venture be known, I should tell you, the reader, who for some unknown reason has taken an interest in my spastic thoughts, a bit about myself. Firstly, I have to credit my partner in crime, miss Katie Cauthen, for most of the photography that I will display. Let it be known that if I don't state otherwise, she has lent her amazing talents to all of the photo's accompanying my ramblings. I'm a Senior(ish) at the University of Tennessee studying Journalism and English. I spend a decent amount of time at the college radio station, WUTK, where I serve as a disc-jockey and the Local Music Director. Most days, I can't believe that my "work" consists of listening to music, interviewing artists, and hosting a local music show. I also recently, meaning last week, made the decision to dive into the wonderful world of print by taking an internship at Knoxville's alternative weekly publication the Metro Pulse. I've worked at a small local Thai restaurant, Stir Fry Cafe, for almost five years and could easily tell you every type of pud-thai after taking ten whiskey shots.
Somehow, I feel as though my "brief" introduction has become anything but brief. I think I'm going to go and make some coffee.
