Drum roll please...

I, Ryan Thomas Gibbons, am now an official member of the blogosphere. I proudly join the ranks of masterbloggers such as Kos and Andrew Sullivan. While they might have a few things that I lack (talent, wit, education, readers, notoriety, money, political connections, works published in outlets other than school newspapers, etc), one advantage I have over them is street cred (no....seriously!). So consider this to be the blog from the streets: the voice of Joe Foodstamps, or Joan Crackwhore.
