Hello, and welcome to the insanity that is my head. I hope that you'll have a nice trip, and do try to avoid the singing chimpanzee. He gets moody.

So, with such a pretentious blog name, I obviously will attempt to sound smart through the written word. For those of you who don't know, (as if anyone would ever read this) C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Charles Williams, and Owen Barfield met in a pub to talk about their writing. A pint in one hand and a pen in the other, these four men helped to shape the literary world to come. I, on the other hand, hope only to put out my mad ramblings on random subjects. As a warning, I am crazy as a loon, so I doubt that I will stay with strictly literary topics.

This being my inaugural post, I do believe it is proper that I introduce myself to the three friends who venture from facebook to this dreary little blog out of boredom or manipulation. My name is Ethan David Simpson, I am 20 years old and I go to Mississippi College. If, by some miracle, you are someone I don't know in real life who has somehow found themselves here; hello and welcome. To those with whom I am already acquainted; What's up? (Just shout real loud wherever you are, I'm sure I'll hear it.)

I want to do at least a post a week, if not more. What these will consist of will basically be determined by what mood I'm in, though I am planning some book reviews, movie reviews, some of my own poetry (because I'm narcissistic like that), and whatever randomly pops into my head. I also want to end with a quote from one of the Inklings that I think applies to whatever it is I'm writing. If anyone actually reads this, I will give you a hug!

Goodbye for now!
