The Opening of a Bag of Whimsy

OK, lets get one thing straight! I've always wanted to start a conversation with that line. It sounds so official and full angry sentiments that just scream repressed feelings... or maybe I'm just crazy.

So this is a blog (thank you Admiral Obvious). This is in in fact my first blog and I'm hoping to make it something that can be enjoyed by the many masses of folk who browse the internet looking for some sort of distraction from their everyday lives. I do not pretend to be all that interesting or even funny but I hope that what I write here may one day serve as a representation of my feelings, ideas and philosophies, not that many people are going to care but I will and that's what matters.

Let us begin. Come, enter into my imagination and see him:

Who am I and why do I think I'm important enough to have a blog? My name is Brendan Murphy. I am a 22 year-old writer/college student in New York. I have no ties to any political entity, I am not registered to a political party, I am not published in any way and only 1 out of 1,000 people will ever have heard my name.

So why would someone like me want to write a blog and have it posted all over the internet for folk to read? Well, the main purpose for this blog is going to be to "Rant". I have always been told that I am a good writer and I feel that if I can share my views and ideas with the world then maybe some good somewhere will come of it. Who knows, a butterfly flapping its wings and all.
So if you find this interesting, enjoy. If not, oh well. If I can help one person with something that I write here then I guess it was successful.

So here we are, on the raggedy edge, lets open the Bag of Whimsy and see what insanity pops out.
