In case you were wondering, this blog will not be about any ONE thing, and that I am sure of. However, I have not yet figured out much else about it. All I ask is that you bear with me and give me your feedback as we all take this trip together.
On any given day or update, you'll likely find information about life, music, style, or anything else that catches my apparently "ADHD-driven" attention. Oh, and you'll probably come across a few attempts here and there to be funny- most of which will fail. But that's okay.
Now, a bit about myself (I'm doing this here and not on the sidebar because it's just not as cool that way): True to the title, the author of this blog is one Fratty Gentleman, and I say this for a number of reasons. I grew up in a blue-collar neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago in a considerably Irish Catholic family, attending conservative blue-collar Catholic schools (you've got to love the single-sex high school experience) until the day I couldn't take it anymore and moved on to attend a very large- and even more liberal- private university in the heart of Manhattan.
I explain this because it is this clash of environments that led to my concept of a "Fratty Gentleman." A young man, always striving to be as true of a gentleman as possible, who cannot turn his back on all of the ideas that he grew up surrounded by- the "fratty" place and guys I call home.
Yes, I'm in a fraternity. I work in a major retailer that all Greeks seem to love. Yes, I go to school where almost all of the students hate "that shit." And that's exactly why I love being a part of two totally different environments.
As the days go by, I'm sure that I'll be telling you more about where I call home and whatnot, but for now we'll get on with the show as I leave you with a video shown to me by the one and only Dr. TMac.
