Why start another new blog?

I decided to create this blog in order to share my thoughts and interests a little more formally, in writing form.  Though it's not unusual for me to Tweet or Tumbl about the things that are going on in my life, I want to get a little more professional.

I've been thinking a lot lately about how I'm going to move forward when I graduate next year and having somewhere to share more insightful, even academic, thoughts was the solution I came up with to help me.  I'm going to address topics that interest me (obviously), maybe share excerpts from my own academic papers.  I want to use this as a tool to kind of group my interests and share the things that fascinate me intellectually (rather than the more than TMI tweets and tumblr posts most people are used to).

I'm going to try and write a post at least once a week, if not more, but we'll see how things go.  

Here's to getting back into writing.
