New Edition

I am no longer a blog virgin...This being my very first post ever. I don't really think I'm all that interesting, but what I do have are some pretty interesting friends.
I had originally began writing a collection of essays called Conventional Wisdom's Ugly Cousin, the concept really being quite simple. For every All American, Ivy League attending, Greenpeace volunteering, perfect toothed, cultured, model citizen humbly bragging about their achievements and future, there's an ugly cousin in the background grinding their crooked teeth convincing themselves they're just as good, just as smart, and just as talented.
So that's the idea. You get it? This is everything you know, everything that's popular, everything that is loved and adored, every trend, every favorite thing's ugly cousin in the background.
Consider me the official ugly cousin advocate, a spokesman for all the shunned souls of the world, all the second bests. Because you may not have won the race, but out of all the losers you were the best of them.
Enjoy!
