Why we're here

I've been meaning to start a blog for a long time now. In fact, it's been continuously on my to do list for the last fourteen months or so, since my two day spurt on tumblr. So here I am, and here's hoping that my energy lasts a lot longer with this one.

So who am I and why should you care? Despite my insistence on remaining anonymous (I bailed on tumblr precisely because family came WAY too close to finding out WAY more about me than I wanted them to know), I believe I have some fairly interesting thoughts and far too few people in my life that I can discuss them with.

As to who I am... I'm an eclectic mix to say the least. I'm an avowed socialist from a wealthy family. I'm a PhD candidate at an R1 university. I'm an avid golfer and sailor and former rower. I am fanatical about college athletics and pay zero attention to pro sports. My interest in music peaked with Nirvana and Pearl Jam and Reel Big Fish in the late 90s. I live on the writings of David Sedaris and Christopher Moore, but also browse fanfiction stories just for free fiction to consume. I'm also the Daddy Dom in a 24/7 BDSM relationship with a wonderfully submissive woman who will soon be my wife. I'm sure I'll touch on all of those topics and many more - I predict the ravings of my conspiracy theorist uncle who joined a cult will provide particularly amusing fodder for many posts.

And I decided to drag my wonderful fiancee along for the ride as well. She can explain herself in another post. I wouldn't dare to pretend that I could do her justice!

Here's to new beginnings and new outlets for the mess that swirls around the in that empty space between my ears.
