Inaugural Post

We always hear the word “inaugural,” but we, or at least I, must remember not to pawn my own ignorance off on readers, never think to ask from whence that word hailed. I’m not going to bog you down with an etymology, just a definition. Augury, as it were, is a sign of what will happen in the future. An omen. So, in a way, this post is a sign of what will come in the future. Which, I mean, it is a type of charter or groundwork, telling readers what they can expect to find here. It is an omen of this blog’s future. Whether it was a good or bad omen, only time will tell, as the proverbial “they” will say.

I feel like I should begin with a disclaimer, announcing that many posts will focus on topics ranging from Literature and writing (my passions), brain damage/TBIs (my deficits), and miscellaneous other subjects that I find interesting or that I wish to discuss. Maybe I want to rant about why I find Jane Austen novels insufferably boring (I do, by the way, maybe we can still be friends) or my general dislike for spit (a ripe field for Freudian analysis, I’m sure).

I’m going to try my best to only make 1 post per week about a specific subject. This post will be the only one, ideally, to feature my rambling – a fairly frequent fault of mine. As for the day of the week the update will take place on, I’m tentatively setting it on Sunday. Sabbath Sunday Funday, right guys?

Right now, I’m taking a class on mythology of the near East (think Mesopotamia) and another on the postmodern director Iñárritu (Amores Perros, Birdman, The Revenant), which wouldn’t make it far-fetched to expect posts on these topics.

Much like a revenant, this blog keeps coming back from the dead. My hope is that this incarnation will be more promising than the last.

So, stay tuned, kiddies, and, ideally, you won’t be disappointed.
