Hello, World!

Welcome to my new blog!

For the time being, I am keeping a blog to update my comings and goings of my internship, where I am working in a digital library in Indiana. I may post other things concerning my time in graduate school on this blog..so stay tuned.

Speaking of other things I enjoy besides digital libraries, I enjoy the band "Over the Rhine" www.overtherhine.com, and I have seen them perform at least 15 times. The title of this blog is taken from their CD "Drunkard's Prayer", and in particular the song "Born".

Here are the lyrics to "Born":

I was born to laugh
I learned to laugh through my tears
I was born to love
I'm gonna learn to love without fear

Pour me a glass of wine
Talk deep into the night
Who knows what we'll find

Intuition, deja vu
The Holy Ghost haunting you
Whatever you got
I don't mind

Put your elbows on the table
I'll listen long as I am able
There's nowhere I'd rather be

Secret fears, the supernatural
Thank God for this new laughter
Thank God the joke's on me

We've seen the landfill rainbow
We've seen the junkyard of love
Baby it's no place for you and me

I was born to laugh
I learned to laugh through my tears
I was born to love
I'm gonna learn to love without fear
