There comes a time in every young man's life...

For years, my friends have consistently bugged me about writing a blog.  While the idea certainly appealed to my enlarged ego, I always viewed the people who wrote blogs as self-important and pretentious jackasses.  Like, the kind of people who go to wine and cheese parties and use the word "symposium".  I never really viewed myself as such a douchebag, however, in an effort to get my friends to shut the fuck up, I have finally succumbed to peer pressure and have created this.  So, let me tell you a little bit about myself.
     The most important thing you will realize about me is that I tend to be a bit of an asshole.  I absolutely abhor being wrong because it equates me with being stupid.  And the one thing I hate most in life is stupidity (Sarah Palin is a prime example of this).  As you have probably already noticed, I am also very crude, and I shall remain so for the duration of this little social experiment.  With that being said, welcome to the first blog of Legatus.
    For those of you who don't know much about history, the term Legatus comes from ancient Rome.  Way back when, there was a very high-ranking title called the Praetor.  These men held power similar to our Chief Justice, Speaker of the House, and so on and so forth.  You get the idea: these men were pretty fucking powerful.  Wikipedia describes them as, " two with the authority of the king, and let them be called praetors, judges and consuls from their going before, judging and consulting. Let them have the supreme right of command of the military..."  See?  You just didn't mess with these fuckers.  The ones that were the generals of the military had a secondary title of Legatus.  Thus, I adopt this title for my own and Praetorian for the name of this blog.
     Now that you know that a Praetor is someone that judges and consults, you have probably figured out what I plan to do with this.  If you haven't, I'll explain it to you anyway.  For the most part, I will be judging and consulting.  Human inconsistencies in thought and actions annoy me, which I will dissect here from time to time.  On other occasions, I may share things with you to hear your input.  I can't truly say what all I will put on here (other than that it will probably be mildly offensive), as I have never written a blog before.  I will not update this daily, because I have a life.  My goal is to blog a couple times a week, but I'm sure there will be weeks where I won't write anything at all.  So, don't get your panties in a bunch if I haven't gotten on in a while.  I'll let you know right now that I just don't fucking care.  I'll write when I want to, and you'll love it.  End of story.
     With that being said, it is time to end this for now.  I have a long day of class and work tomorrow, and I need my beauty sleep.  I'll be back in a few days.
