Oh, right! It's my turn.

Now, I don't profess to have the same command over the language that my "ladyfriend" seems to muster, nor the pop culture knowledge (apparently, my use of Ladyfriend is already steeped in cultural currency given the release of SATC: the pleaser). If the idea of a couple writing a blog to stay together and be in contact and have an outlet for their dormant creative side turns your stomach, well stop reading. It's a less romantic notion than writing letters, but then again, it's now available to the public.

About me: Brian. A self-professed jack of a few trades, master of absolutely none, I am leaving my studenthood behind in search of truly finding myself. And by truly finding myself I mean spending 100 hrs a week in a cubicle cranking out spreadsheets for a regional investment bank. Yeah, well it's not for everyone. I suppose I will suspend any additional revelations about my character until further posts, no-one likes to see the end of the movie before they sit through the rest, right (a few notable exceptions exist, I realized this).

So here it is, an outlet for general creativity. This week's theme is "home." I have yet to have intelligent thoughts and/or creative vision surrounding the topic despite the fact that I was responsible for coming up with it. That said, I am planning on making next week's "Ribs." Why? Because I am itching at attending the Lincoln Park RIBFEST. I hear there will be 65,000 lbs of ribs. I am planning on eating 55,000 of them and photographing the rest.

About Nicole and I: We're great, thanks for asking, but that's not to say we don't have our own fair share of obstacles to overcome in the coming months/years. In all liklihood as Nicole's explained, we'll be in different cities. That's pretty difficult on a realationship which has spanned such a short period of time. But hey, we'd be crazy if we didn't try (credit: CKS). That said, here's a common goal and tangible history where we can profile and record our creative endeavors and failures.

What an exciting time! Here we go and wish us luck!
