What up, blog? Welcome to..... The Yarmulke Chronicles! I'm new to this whole blogging thing, so hopefully you're new tot this whole reading thing, because if you have any real frame of reference for what a blog should be, you will most likely be disappointed. So now that I've set the expectations so low, hopefully I can exceed them!

I originally came up with the name for this blog while discussing possible mixtape names with a friend, back when I was convinced I was going to become a rapper. It was pretty hard for be to write raps though, because I was lacking something important. If you made a venn diagram, with one circle labeled "THINGS THAT SUCCESSFUL RAPPERS WRITE ABOUT" and the other labeled "THINGS I HAVE EXPERIENCED IN MY LIFE" there would be almost no overlap. I don't think there's much of a market for a hardcore rap about waking up, driving 5 mph over the speed limit to school, doing all of my homework, and not shooting anyone or doing any sort of hard drugs.

So basically, I'm your average high schooler trying to figure out how I'm going to make it through my senior year without having some sort of psychotic meltdown that everyone whispers about at lunch, even though the teachers tell them not too. When I die from a brain aneurysm caused by trying to understand college application #9048, I hope that my friends actually listen to me, and put "America is all about speed. Hot, nasty, bad ass speed."- Eleanor Roosevelt on my tombstone.

Peace y'all
