Welcome to Southern Aggression

Why write a blog? Well, two reasons…

Firstly, I’ve got entirely too many thoughts that the public is being deprived of. There’s no reason I need to wait until the end of law school to start having the inevitable long-lasting impact I’m going to have on this world. Might as well start here.

Secondly, as just demonstrated, I have a huge ego to stroke.

Why is it Southern Aggression?

For one, I just like the name… and that’s reason enough.

More concretely, though. I am a southerner. I talk like one, I eat like one, I pray like one and, let’s be honest, I vote like one. I’m also a law student, which makes me aggressive, by nature (not physically aggressive, mind you… attend one Con Law class and you’ll realize we’re not an imposing bunch). Discourse, particularly of the argumentative type, on various subjects is a significant source of entertainment for me.

We’ll cover a number of topics on this blog, ranging (in order of importance) from sports (NBA and MLB, mainly... especially concerning the Braves and Mavs) to movies to politics, with a particular emphasis on Mississippi politics. I’m not shy about where I stand on things, or about saying when I just don't know.

I am all about getting feedback, both because it lets me know people are paying attention (again, ego) and it’s typically beneficial to a discussion. Feel free to let me know what's up, or provide a link to your blog as long as it's pertinent to the discussion

Hopefully this will become a place you look to for interesting, occasionally humorous pontifications on particular (often timely) subjects. Thanks for visiting. And, as I will end every post before inevitable elimination in early September…. Go Braves!!
