¡Important! ¡Must Read!

          I feel compelled to inform the viewer of this blog of a few things before they continue any further.

          This blog was originally for an English essay. I feel that during my time writing it, it has become so much more than that. The reader will note my trademark biting rhetoric throughout the blog, and the reader will wonder, "Why is he so caustic in a blog for a school project?" All will be explained in due time, dear viewer.

          Blogs are a unique medium. They allow the audience to interact with the author in a way that has never before been seen. It is a personal connection; when you are reading a blog, you aren't just reading a piece of literature, you're connecting on a very deep level with somebody that you may not even know. When an author writes a blog and trims out all the little snippets of their personality, whittling it down to a more academic form, then that connection is lost. 

          Given this information, then, I have chosen to leave behind all those little personal tidbits that I had originally planned to take out. This blog is meant to be informative on my volunteer time at the art museum, but to interpret what I say about my experiences at the museum you have to know me. To let the reader bask in the marvelous glow of my personality so that they better interpret my words, I have taken a giant leap of faith and let myself show through the blog.

          Letting my glorious and bright visage blast through to the dank and oppressive world that exists has been a marvelous experience. Over the course of these writings I have grown as a person and have learned to think more critically of myself. For this, I am thankful for the project. However, this also means that the blog takes on a more personal note, as it is not just a school project but an epic journey of self discovery.

         I'm a fairly caustic person; my favorite pastime is making fun of things that I find silly, particularly political views or religion and ranging into really poorly made Pokemon teams. As I am letting my personality shine through my blog, you will be exposed to some rather caustic material. If you find anything to just be too overwhelmingly offensive and cannot tolerate a moment more of my shenaniganous tomfoolery, I implore you to simply skip past it.

          Thanks for reading my blog, and I hope you enjoy it (and volunteer at the museum),

          Dane
