Blog - (n) A contraction of the words 'Web log', is a website, usually maintained by an individual, with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video.
Let's get something straight right off the bat, I got that definition word for word from Wikipedia
so it could have been written by a 12 year-old. That should show you how dedicated this blog will be to things like, 'accuracy', 'fact', or 'general grammatical correctness'. The definition also mentioned things about video and graphics, but we'll make a deal right now: Don't expect too much from me and I won't disappoint you.
1) I can use it as a creative outlet.
2) So I can publicly discuss world issues in a completely unbiased fashion (ex. Sean Hannity being the world' biggest ass)
3) I can share fun stories! Yeaaaaa....!!!!
But let's be serious, because there is some serious shit going down in the world. (Sidenote: I haven't determined if this blog will be rated PG, PG-13, or R, so to be safe -- kids, if you're under 13 and currently reading this, go get your parents) Potential topics could include, but are not limited to:
2008 Presidential Election
Broadcast Journalism
NBC Tour stories (I'm currently a tour guide or page for NBC-Universal)
Life in New York City
People I know, and I apologize to them in advance
I'm sure we'll come across many more potential subjects as we go along, so keep posted. I can guarantee you though, whatever may grace this page, I assure you I'm an expert on the topic. Many (some) of you will ask, "But Tim, how can you make such a bold claim?" To which I would respond, "Listen buddy, I watch television". So to make sure I've got all of you on the hook, let's begin with a story from the NBC tour route.
I'm wrapping up a tour with Charlotte (pronounced Char-laht-tuh, not like the city) and we're getting off the elevators by the NBC visitors desk. Now you have to understand, NBC doesn't really have a VIP entrance. Everyone from the highest ups, to the bottom feeders (yours truly) come in through the same entrances. So we're getting off the elevators and we're not really paying attention because we're late for our next tour. Charlotte has her head down and nearly collides with a man as she leads our group onward towards the escalators. I turn back casually to see who that man was, my eyes make out this man. In my nervousness all I can think to do is give him the ole head nod and make something like this noise, "MMMnnnHHMmm" under my breath.
Other famous people I've seen so far:
So I believe I've given you ample reason to check back in from time to time for more AMAZING STORIES!!! and whatever else I can come up with. Until next time.

I knew that your "*not really this guy" was going to be Jesus. I don't know if that means I'm really awesome or if you're really predictable. Let's go with the first, for both of our sakes.
Good first post, BFs.
O man, I cannot believe you have a blog....but I suppose with the bastardization of the Internet even you sir can be a semi-star. Can't wait for the hilariously akward youtube video lol

You said amazing stories...i did not see any amazing story there. Actually it was kinda boring, but it keeps me updated on your life so thats good. (Considering your a big shot new yorker now and have no time for a struggling law student in a small town.) Hope all is going well in new york and just letting you know that i miss you!!!

As I read how dedicated this blog will be to things like, 'accuracy', 'fact', or 'general grammatical correctness' I was imagining Chris Farley as Bennett Brauer saying it and making air quotations.
Just so you know. Hope your having a wonderful time in NY.
I never thought the internet would allow you to have such an outlet of expression.
This will be entertaining.
