In case you're wondering, yes that is a picture of me.

Actually, I lied. That is not a picture of me; in fact, it is about as far from me as you can get. It depicts a tennis ball colliding with the crotch of a rather unfortunate dog (at high velocity no less). Not one human can be seen. I have no idea what that says about me, but it makes me laugh.

I digress.

My name is Augustus Logsdon. I would go by my nickname Gus, but our teacher, Mr. Logsdon, to whom I have no relation, insists that Augustus sounds cooler. Who am I to argue? I didn't major in English; I haven't even been to college. I hope to soon though, which is why I plan for good test scores and straight A's this year. Of course, plans don't always follow through. For example, in seventh grade, I told myself that I would end my habit of procrastination. Tragically, I put it off until the next year, and repeated the process annually. I have since given up, and I still can't break the habit as evidenced by this last minute blog entry. I finished my summer reading earlier than usual, but that's about all I can say.

In fact, I only did that because I had nothing to do in Florida. My family vacationed to a secluded peninsula on the peninsula (peninsula-ception?) for one full week. The allure of the top dollar beach only lasted for about three days, and then we realized that everything fun was an hour's drive away. Don't get me wrong, I felt nice and relaxed, but there wasn't much to do except read and browse the internet (on a side note, you should really check out reddit. It basically aggregates everything interesting on the internet and covers every subject ever). I wished, like I always do, that I could just stop time and stay there, but alas, school was slowly creeping up through my schedule, and the time had almost come to enter junior year. In fact, if I could stop time right now and take a break from my homework, I would absolutely do it. Stopping time is about the most all around useful super-power in my opinion. If you could do that, you would effectively be able to teleport anything anywhere, at least it would appear that way to an observer, and do whatever you felt like to it.

I think that tidily sums up my "get to know me" blog entry. Hopefully, I answered any and all questions you may have had, but I know that's not true, so I present you with an ultimatum. I will tell you anything you want to know if you do just one thing; ask me questions. I will be more than happy to respond.
