I've been telling myself on-and-off since I was a junior in college that I should start blogging. The narcissistic assumption that someone else is actually willing to read my written word and an even more basic desire to write has led to the question I've always asked myself: on what subject should I actually write? My sporadic Yelp reviews led to Matt on Dining, which has been updated exactly once. Though I do plan to begin moving my Yelp reviews of sufficient quality to that blog in the near future my patience has been growing short for my plan about this blog. When food is out of the picture all that's left is everything else.
Ideas that I've toyed with have included self-improvement, travel, finance (personal and otherwise) and surviving young professional life. Rather than fight to try to pick a single subject and produce consistent content, I've backtracked on the last two years of leaning in that direction and decided to pick a whimsical blog title and write on just about anything I feel is important. Hence, WWMD.
WWMD is the acronym for two of my favorite phrases. Given that I can't seem to find a quote on Google, I'm guessing that both phrases are Original Ideas. "Words as/are weapons of mass disruption" is a favorite of mine. They destroy barriers, beliefs and, most of all, ignorance and humility. I'll write more on that another day. The other phrase? The self-aggrandizing "what would Morlock do." That one is fairly self-explanatory in a very facetious way.
If "Dear Reader" has even made it this far, the question now is why the Dear Reader ever wants to return to this blog. I'm hoping that I can bring humor, useful information, a dash of insight and a pinch of interest to your broswer, RSS feed, or smart-phone. Since I do plan to experiment with subject and writing style, please feel free to contact me with comments and I will try to tailor my future posts to the desires of the majority. I guess this is how a blog begins.
