And I suppose I also have to make the obligatory "I swear I'll update more often" comment. As is true with most comments like this, the promise has a high likelihood of being broken. It won't be for a lack of caring though. That's a promise I can indeed make.
Apologizing aside, without anymore unnecessary ado, let's get on with it...
Man, I have no idea what I even mean by "it." What am I doing here? What's the purpose of this blog anyway? What in the hell is even going on? The internets? Blogosphere? Vlogosphere? Google!?!?!
Settle down, Jacob. Just settle the F down. Did you even introduce yourself?
That's it! That's what I can blog about now. Who am I? I'm sure theyre wondering by now.
My name is Jacob. I'm a soon-to-be graduating senior at the University of Minnesota. I enjoy fly-fishing. Grew up in rural Montana with my rebellious brother and Presbyterian minister father...wait a minute. That's the plot of A River Runs Through It. Dammit, I'm no good at this.
Maybe an anecdote. Something to warm the reader up to my style.
I remember once, I was real young. My older brother and I were killing time, fly-fishing in the Big Blackfoot River -- Dammit! I did it again. I seriously haven't seen this film in like 10 years.
Maybe I can tell you something through a series of links.
I go here for school.
This May, I will do this.
I enjoy the music of these two, this talented fellow, this cat, these four goofballs, and I simply can't wait for these guys to come to town.
If I'm alone, you can bet that I'm either listening to my iPod or The Current.
When I'm older, you know, with responsibilities and jobs and such, I would love to live in one of these.
I support social and earth-conscious products like this yogurt and this beer.
I'm having certain relations with the gal that runs this blog. (We're working on a joint vlog-project, vlogject, if you will. Again, as blogs/vlogs go, nothing is for certain, but I hope we get something going.)
And, finally, my father is Tom Skerritt. Dammit! I did it again!
Anyway. That's enough of a linkography for now. Right now, I have a pretty sweet sinus headache going on right now. I'm going to procrastinate some way that's less productive than blogging. I hope you check back later. More stories that don't involve fictional pasts in rural Montana will be included in the near future. And - gasps - audio podcasting? Yeah, I would love to vlog, but that takes, you know, audio and video equipment. So I'm going to have to blog using popular technology circa a few years ago. Sorry. I hope you return.
Oh, I'll never leave Montana, brother,
Jacob

I thoroughly enjoyed that post. I especially enjoyed your link section. (I didn't know you were from montana!) Your lack of correspondence is forgiven. I better hear your sweet sweet voice on my ipod soon, or you can consider this relationship over.
Love,
