A blog name is so hard to figure out. Especially when they ask you to do it when you haven't even started writing in the darn thing. I attempted to think of a good song lyric, but thought that would be too cliche. Then, a movie title seemed even more cliche. The title or line from a play wouldn't fit, due to me not being a theater buff and other significant reasons.
So I had to think long and hard about it. "What to do, oh what to do," I thought to myself. Then it hit me. I had been writing mass e-mails to my friends forever. It started when I first went to college for my high school friends. Then, since I'm so witty, it went to my friends that I wrote about too. Then, when I switched colleges and became lazy, there was the convenient 'Everyone' option in my address book. (How great is that 'Everyone' button?!? It can make you feel like you know alot more people than you actually do! But I digress ...) It started as the Nac Report (since I went to a school in Nacogdoches, Texas), then the Arlington Report (when I moved back home), and then the San Antonio Report (when I decided that I should go to a school away from home). I have my friend (and pledge brother) Sarah for the brilliant idea of the *insert city here* Report, since she left me high and dry in Naco-nowhere by myself (I'm not bitter, and when I say by myself, I really mean with a bunch of my other friends). She began the Austin Report and I felt that I could not be outdone, so I began. Each time I started that Report, I began with "So goes the life of one Eric L. Pawkett-Cruz..." And since all that won't fit, 'And so goes the life..." is what you get.
To begin, I'll be posting stuff that I wrote in my journal on opendiary. I think I like this site better, and I might even post more often ... so, read the first and let me know how it goes. I'll post the date that they were originally posted.
