Inaugural

All blogs begin with trauma or a resolution.

I've discovered a rather disturbing tendency in myself. I watch too much TV. I LOVE TV. I love visual stories, and the tendency to get a happy ending in 41.5 minutes. I've noticed that I watch far too much of it, though. Hence, this blog is the result and motivation for a full month with no television. NONE. Going to the movies doesn't count, though (since asking me to forgo Batman: The Dark Knight would be cruel and unusual, and not a motivator for personal betterment).

What shall I do with all the time I've been wasting on television? I'll be writing about the classics of Western and Eastern literature. I'm starting with the Aeneid, and continuing from there. I'll be posting the amount I've read, and comments on the text on each day. I'll also include a link, if one is available, to an online copy of the text. The title of each post will lead to a page containing that day's readings.

I'm trying to better myself. Here goes.
