Alright. This is the fourth time I've attempted to start a blog. I've had all these differen't ideas, but not been happy with any of them. My most recent idea was a sports blog where I found interesting sports articles online and provided links to them, and then gave my personal rhetoric. That's a good idea but I've been so busy that I don't have the time to do a good job with it. So, I want to take that idea and tweak it so I post a couple times a week at most. I'm not going to start with any complete direction, except that I'm going to write about interesting or funny sports phenomena. I want to have a readership made up of my friends at first, and then hopefully spread to other people who are interested in the same things as us. I highly encourage discussion through the feedback option from all readers.
There are three people who I'd like to mention before I really start this up: Bill Simmons, Tim Urban, and Danny Fein. I'm sure everyone knows Bill Simmons, the best sports writer in the world, who uses a blog-like format. Every young sports writer (not that I would classify myself as one) should try to be like Bill. The next guy is Tim Urban. For a young guy writing about random daily events, he is absolutely hilarious. It's kind of like the Seinfeld of blogs. The last person is my good friend Danny Fein. He's the person who literally explained to me what a blog actually is just a few months ago. Him and his buddy Benjy, from UPenn, started their own music blog that is also doing really well. Here are the must see links to each of those three people:
