Why I’m Here

I like to think.

 

OK, so maybe that doesn't say a lot about me, but seriously, it's important to think. And I don't mean just about which celebrity is in or out of rehab or may or may not be pregnant. I mean it's important to think about things that actually matter.

 

So, basically I'm here to think. And hopefully to report on news that will make other people think as well.
