It Starts.

Welcome! Am I supposed to welcome you? I'm not sure. It is pretty presumptuous of me to assume that there is a "you" to welcome. But I like to think positively.

So.....welcome!!!!

As the first three lines have implied....I am an amateur blogger. It is not that I haven't had anything to say. It is that I didn't think anyone wanted to listen. Of course now I am old enough to realize that it doesn't matter if anyone listens; some things need to be documented.

This is one of those things.

After 6 years living in Sleepytown, my life seems to finally be taking a bit of a turn. I am applying to medical school. It is a bit scary to even type it. Because the idea of being in graduate school again makes me want to wet my pants a bit, I have decided that I need to have as much fun as I possibly can for the next year. The solution?: Roller Coasters.

I am going to ride as many coasters as I can in North America in the next year.

Why? Well...why not?

Excuse #1: It is a great reason to travel to places I have never been before. I've never been to Indiana. I've never had a reason to go. But you can bet your ass I will be showing up to go to Holiday World.

Excuse #2: You never know when you will never be able to ride a coaster again.

Excuse #3: Coasters are awesome.

I think three excuses should do it.


I promise to document all of the coasters I ride with relatively good timeliness. I don't promise that coasters are all I will talk about. I hope you enjoy it.

P.S. If you have any blogging advice or would like to lend your expertise, it is welcome! I am trying to figure out a way to have a map and ongoing list of every coaster. Feel free to comment or email if you know how I can do this.
