Intro to Modern Mod Life

So, what is this blog? Well, after much thought and internal debate, I decided that there might be a few - probably not many - people interested in discussing what it's like to be a young moderate. I don't just mean a political moderate. I mean 'moderate' in a broader way, meaning someone who generally exercises common sense, isn't too extreme in his or her behavior, and generally tries to do the right thing.

Doesn't that apply to a lot of us? Sure, we are all unique, but in large part we're all just trying to navigate through the world while in general trying to be good people. It seems, though, that most of the world doesn't appreciate moderation. The things that get publicity are those that illustrate extremes, right? Celebrities are, of course, the most glaring example of this phenomenon.

It's not bad to be a moderate, though. Frankly, I like being in the middle. I feel that I'm pretty open-minded, and by not being tied to one extreme or another, I can understand a greater range of perspectives. Isn't that a good thing?

Anyway, enough philosophizing. Not everything in the Modern Mod Life blog will be so philosophical and some posts won't even be remotely serious. Enjoy!
