Polite Introductions

Ah, new blog smell. The fresh, clean feeling of a page as of yet unspoiled by rambling, pointless posts that alienate and confuse! How long will this one last? I have never had much success maintaining a blog in the past, but who knows, perhaps now that I am older and marginally less angsty, I'll be able to last a bit longer. (That's what she said.)

Now, the question you're probably asking yourself is whether this blog is worth your time. Whether, indeed, you should read it at all. The answer is almost certainly "no," but in case you don't entirely trust that, here are some topics that may or may not possibly get coverage in this blog, at some point or another in the future.

• The general absurdity of teenagers, from the perspective of a teacher in a poor, urban NYC high school
• The general absurdity of teenagers, from the perspective of an administrator on a message board for a popular Broadway show.
• The general absurdity of adults from both of the above perspectives, plus... others.
• Totally awesome YouTube videos, which will almost certainly relate to musical theater or cabaret, because that's what I watch on YouTube.
• The trials and tribulations of being a straight male musical theater fanatic.
• Reviews of shows, musicals and otherwise, and other performances. I go to the theater at least once a week, so this should be pretty regular.
• CAP 21. At least, when I do a thing there this summer. If the blog makes it to June.
• Books I read and enjoy

Unlike other blogs I may or may not have attempted in the past, I promise that this one will NOT contain

• Fanfiction of any sort.
• Angst. This will not devolve into my online diary. I promise. And if it does, point me back here, and I'll either delete the angst or edit this post to make you look crazy.

I may talk about other things. But the above is the plan.
