The First

I started a blog. Blame my dissatisfaction with trying to come up with stuff for the school publication but only ending up with my own rambling thoughts.

First I'm going to explain that the word "rag," among other things, is synonymous with "journal." Hence the title.

Basically, I've realized that there's a lot I want to say about a lot of things. I'm at school to be a journalist, and the first step to that is seeing if people will actually listen to what you have to say. 

The next step is finding time to write it all down, maybe? This is a short and barely above pointless first post, but I'm guessing some more lengthy ones will follow. But for now I'll leave you with one of my favorite quotes. It's from a kid's chapter book called Dunk.

"I searched for words to explain my feelings and wondered whether anyone could give a good answer to that question... What makes a kid sit in his room every day practicing guitar chords or painting pictures for hours at a time? What makes a guy spend years chiseling away at a block of marble? Maybe it was just some feeling that said, "Do this."
