If you’re reading this, welcome to my blog! Short intro, I’m 23, living in Seattle and I often clutter my friends new feeds with grandstanding. So what better way to grandstand than make my own blog to write down my thoughts and publish them for the world to see? I don’t know how many people will end up reading this, but here we are, I hope you enjoy your stay.

About Open Mic Thoughts

I ended up settling upon the title “Open Mic Thoughts” for this blog. Think about the tradition of Open Mic Nights, it’s an opportunity for amateurs from all walks of life to sing, read poetry, and perform, usually in varying degrees of a blaze of glory. This blog is my own personal Open Mic Night, and the performers are whatever thoughts I happen to have at the time. Anybody who has had any interaction with me (online or otherwise) knows that I have long-winded, verbose opinions. Readers can expect to find a little bit of everything, including:

• General Millennial Musings (Unique Right?!)
• Football Opinions
• Music Reviews
• Movie Reviews
• Sanity Checks on the Latest Outrage
• Whatever I Want to Talk About At The Time

Basically, if you’re one of the rare people who can’t get their fill of the average 23 year old male’s opinion on [INSERT TRENDING TOPIC HERE]. Then you’ve come to the right place!

What I’m Hoping for from People Who Read This Blog

I post my opinions so they can be challenged. So please, if you become a reader of this blog, call me out if I’m off base on an opinion! I want to be challenged, and I want to challenge you. If you see a topic that you’d like me to weigh in on, let me know, the more ideas people send me, the better!

A Disclaimer about Me

I don’t think I have all the answers, and I won’t pretend like I do. In all seriousness, unless it involves the Seahawks, movies, or A Song of Ice and Fire trivia, I probably have very few educated answers. When I post, I’m working through my understanding of a topic. I want people to engage. I won’t come with hostility; I’m coming from a place to better learn your viewpoint of the topic. Hopefully we can teach each other something new!
