That's not how you play marbles, Jack.

Just when I think I'm in the clear, it happens again.

Obligatory blogging.

Never in my life have I blogged on my own terms; it's always been on assignment. Instead of being a cathartic outlet (as heralded by blog-thusiasts), it is, once again, de rigueur.

Hence the title: Obligablogging. I might have stumbled upon a new catchphrase, but with the throngs of industrious (and terminally bored) youths out there, I doubt it.

This particular blog was originally created for “Hip Hop in the Media” – a blow-off turned mind-blowing intercession course my senior year at OU. If you’ve never spent 6 hours analyzing the biblical / Greek mythological references of late 90’s gang-bang rap, you haven’t truly lived. As my overly enthusiastic professor would say, “Tupac LIVES!” he certainly does.

I’m sure that this makes little-to-no sense, so if you’re at all curious, you can read those long-lost posts below. But be warned, they, too, were obligatory, and due to the nature of the course, some of the content is not meant for young children. I guess I could have started a new blog all-together, but you know what they say about hindsight.

So, requirements aside, I’ll try to breathe life into these new posts. What are we blogging about again? Interactive training sessions? Yes. I’ll breathe so much life into my interactive training session blogs that they won't know what hit them.

More, or less, to come. Happy obligablogging everyone!
