A Start to Blogging

I never thought that I would be here, starting a blog. I never liked writing very much and the idea of devoting time to writing out my thoughts would have been preposterous to me even a couple of months ago. That being said, there really is no exact reason why I decided to start this blog. You can say I just started it on a whim, or that I had a change of heart about writing (not likely...). Either way, here I am writing my first post while trying to keep it interesting enough to keep you, the readers, at least somewhat entertained.

Now, you may be wondering what exactly this blog is about and how I came up with the title Random Bag of Thoughts (if you're not, too bad because I'm going to explain it anyway :) ). While thinking about a title for my blog, I tried to think of what exactly I would be writing about, but found that my mind would always disperse into random thoughts about miscellaneous things from sports to life and my impending entry into medical school (if you check back in 3 months and I'm still writing on this blog...then you know I'm surviving medical school through procrastination...). And thus, the bright idea of using Random Bag of Thoughts surfaced (I know, what an epiphany, right?).

But this title really does suit what I want my blog to embody. If I'm going to write anything, I might as well be able to express all my random contemplations in whatever way I like, poor grammar and unsophisticated vocabulary (Oh, what a beautiful thing!). Through this blog, I plan to depict anything that comes to mind as a I reflect about my life experiences and detail my clever and highly philosophical ideas (i.e. dino nuggets are essential components in the diets of college students everywhere, bringing fun and paleontology to nutrition! What a perfect pitch...). Ok, so maybe not the most thought-worthy substance in the world, but I do hope that my ramblings will give you something to think about, something to reflect on, or at least something to laugh at (I'll just think you guys are all laughing with me, rather than at me). Who knows, maybe by reading my astounding piece of literature, you'll discover some absolutely amazing and stunning thing about yourself or the direction of your own life (I can dream I make that big of an impact, right?).

For now, my topics will most likely be a collection of on-the-spot thoughts, but in the near future will mold into consistent reflections on my life as an over-stressed and sleep-deprived medical student...I'll try to throw in  some diversity into my posts here and there to keep my blog from turning into A Medical Student's Life and Rants to hopefully keep you guys interested (though if you lost interest already...*sigh I'll just not think about that). Well, I'm guessing about now you have had enough of my aimless writing (if you made it this far, congrats because even I don't want to read what I just wrote), but hopefully my future posts will at least have some consistent main idea to them (with lots of asides...I mean, I have to at least stay true to the name of the blog). Anyway, I hope you enjoyed my first post as much as I enjoyed writing it! In my next post, I will be exploring more thoroughly my claim of the importance of dino nuggets... ... ... PSYCH! Unless you guys want me too, because I really could, I wouldn't mind really... Well, maybe sometime in the future. :)
