This is, in fact, a blog
I have considered creating a blog for some time, but only now am I getting around to it. I have long viewed these things as forums for unimportant people, the purpose of which is to make them feel like someone is listening to their largely unimportant thoughts. I still feel this way, in fact, but I have acknowledged that although I may be unimportant, I find the keeping of some type of journal to be incredibly useful. Not only does it provide me with a forum for my own unimportant thoughts, but it does the job of expelling them from my head, in a manner that can be accessed again at a later time. As a student of history, I find this incredibly satisfying. That, and I managed to snare a wicked-awesome domain name. For those of you who aren't familiar with either ancient Greece or the language, and that's nearly 100% of you, the name 'Agogi' comes from ἡ ἀγωγή, meaning 'a taking away,' which was later used to refer to the initiation that Lacedaimonian boys underwent at the age of seven, in order to enter into the Spartiate warrior elite. Anyone who has seen '300' will have had some introduction to this. Anyways, I started the blog tonight specifically because I came up with this name, and I really wanted to snag it. So, you can thank the Spartans for this blog. This unimportant blog. Anyways, I'm bored now, so I'll post some more thoughts at some other time. Good day.
