Opening Remarks

My name is Edward Lim - but if you're reading this you probably know that already. I remember way back in the spring of 2004 when blogging was a big thing. It has since been relegated to internet know-it-alls and political whistle blowers. I have less lofty intentions.

At 22 years old I find myself slowly inching toward adulthood. It began after graduating college and will continue (hopefully) with my position with Teach for America. I'll be moving to the big scary city of Chicago (I'm told it's very different from Texas). I'm hoping that this blog will, first, not fade into obscurity, but more importantly be a way for me to keep all of my friends back home updated on my goings on.

I've come to realize that, as an English major, there are some people that are born to write. They speak passionately about the ideas swelling in their minds and if they don't get them out they might just burst. Fortunately I'm not one of them. I got an English degree to supplement my useless film degree thus giving me two useless degrees and a lot of wasted time. Also, I'm writing this because I think I'm pretty goddamn funny -- at least in my mind.

I hope you, dear reader, will enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy writing it, though it may be a little presumptuous to assume I'll enjoy writing, but we'll find out together. So please, leave comments, especially ones that shamelessly flatter, and enjoy.

-Edward
