Genesis

So with a little encouragement I have decided to start keeping a blog. I think this will be a healthy activity. And I am always looking for more of those, especially nowadays.
I guess I will start out by saying how excited I am to have one of these! No longer do I need to resist writing facebook notes and risk looking like one of those sappy tween writers who desperately seek attention. Instead I can be a trendy, elitist blogger. I like the sound of that.
As far as goals or expectations go, I do not really have any. I will write on whatever subject is on my mind at a particular time. I imagine that could include anything regarding politics, general concerns, or happenings in my social life. For tonight, I will simply say that I am anxiously awaiting my trip to KA Convention 2009. The convention is occurring in Washington DC, and I will be able to experience the 4th of July in our nation's capital! This is especially exciting because for the first time in my life I am actually proud of the direction our government is taking us. I don't want to jump on the Obama bandwagon too much yet, but I have to admit I feel a bit more enthused to be an American than I did two years ago. So I am sure I will return to Texas bursting with patriotism like I never have before.
However, I do have some concerns regarding the next few days in DC. Numero Uno, I have to be at a KA convention. I am not going to try to explain all the ins and outs of a frat convention. I think it is pretty needless to say that things can get pretty tedious. Let's just say that if I have to sit through one more hazing or liability lecture I am going to cry on my roommate's shoulders. Also, things can get pretty intimidating. I am not the most experienced traveler, so I often torture myself with questions like-- What do I wear? If I am not wearing the right thing, will I get kicked out or frowned upon? What if I forget something, or get lost in the airport? What if all the other KA's are just a bunch of conservative, racists, loonballs? By this point, most of that stuff is already out of my hands though. If I fuck up, I am just going to have to grin and bear and move on. Likewise, if I forget a paper or something trite and some KA nutjob goes Stonewall Jackson on me, I will just shake it off and make fun of him later. So...no worries right?
Ah. So that is all I have today. Reminder, this is just a warm up. Rome was not built in a day. Future entries will be chock full of hot opinions and confessions. So get ready, America. Tim Clark just got a blog. And I better get ready too, because I know my #1 fan is probably going to have a plethora of fun grammar suggestions. :)

Thanks for reading,

Tim
