In medias res literally means "in the middle of affairs". It's a literary term used to describe a story that starts in the middle rather than the beginning. So it makes sense to title this first post based on that concept since you are just meeting me in the middle of things.
I'll choose to begin this in the exact same way as everyone else who blogs in that I have no idea who is going to actually read this; who will actually care. I don't even really know exactly what it is I am trying to accomplish in posting my thoughts all across the interweb. But nonetheless I hope to at least be able to write something that may stir some conversation, perhaps even meet a few new people in the process.
Anyways, the real inspiration for writing this came from reading a fellow blogger's blog giving an in-depth look at Anberlin's Cities, one of my favorite records. After reading that I stumbled upon Stephen Christian's (Anberlin's singer) blog and quickly became inspired to just write whatever it is I am thinking and post it on the internet. Sound like a good idea right? Probably not. I'm probably going to regret creating this because I am sure this is going to give my friends another excuse to give me a hard time. But whatever.
If you can't tell, I have A.D.D. which kind of makes it hard to write. So if I get off topic with something, please bare with me.
So thats about it for now. An introduction does not have to be incredibly intellectual and I am already bored with this. But hopefully I will post again soon. Until then...
