Welcome. Hopefully, you're beginning to read what will be the first in a long and fruitful series of blog ramblings by me. It is highly likely that you already know me, but nonetheless, Google crawls my site on occasion so perhaps I should quickly introduce myself for anyone who isn't familiar with me.

My name is Brendon Stanton, and I am a college student currently enrolled at the University at Buffalo. I consider myself an interesting guy; eccentric would possibly be the best way to describe me. As you'll quickly find out by continuing to follow my blog, I'm very opinionated and never afraid to express my thoughts. However, I am not disrespectful to those with whom I disagree. I love nothing more than to have a good argument about anything, but at the end I won't think any less of you. One of my best friends is the ideological opposite of me, yet we've been friends for the better part of the last decade.

Take everything that I say with a grain of salt. When I begin ranting on a subject, I quickly become carried away. My friends seem to like this; it provides entertainment. I'm not as angry of a person as I often appear. Hopefully you the reader will find similar enjoyment. Nonetheless the commenting feature exists for a reason and if you have some feedback, I'll gladly read it and respond.

You may be asking why I have chosen to begin writing a blog when it has become a bit passé to do so. The truth is that I don't entirely know myself. I am an amateur programmer, and I created the software that runs this blog, but I had no real use for it. This seems to be my biggest flaw in website creation: I enjoy making things but not using them. Hopefully that will change with this blog.

What else can I say? I am a huge baseball fan of an extremely random team: the Florida Marlins. Undoubtedly I will be writing about their season at various junctures in time. (Currently the Marlins are leading the Yankees 6-3 in the eighth.)

I hope this will suffice as an introduction, and will form a bond of readership between us. If not, thanks for visiting once. The Internet is a tricky business: more than ninety percent of visitors to websites never come back. I would appreciate a second chance. Let's eschew that trend together!
