Introduction

Allow me to reintroduce myself, my name is HOV! Wait… that’s not right. HOV is one of Jay-Z’s nick names. I’m sorry. I occasionally think/wish I was Jay-Z ever since he married Beyonce. Kind of a weird coincidence that it started around that time isn’t it? I have no idea what the connection with that may be *cough* single ladies video *cough*. Usually, it’s other people that want to be me. Mostly ghosts. I tell them “Hey! Do I look like Whoopi Goldberg to you? Do I have no eyebrows, dreadlocks, and a weird attraction to Ted Danson? Do I sit in bars on the Starship Enterprise giving sage advice?” I have completely lost my train of thought, haven’t I? Let’s start over...

Hello, my name is Nathaniel. My friends call me Nate. So you can call me Nathaniel. Ha! You see what I did there? I’m just joking, you can call me Nate. I’m sure you guys are cool. Nathaniel is too formal and has too many syllables. Adds an extra 3 seconds to conversations every time you use it. Not efficient at all.

Moving along, let’s list a few of my stats: I was born and raised in Pittsburgh. I love traveling whenever I have the time and funds to do so. I’m extremely spontaneous and impulsive. I’m an MBA student at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and did my undergraduate work at Penn State University. This summer, I will be working at the U.S. Small Business Administration. Welcome to my blog. I’m sure we’ll have tons of fun. I mean awesome amounts of fun. I’m talking so much fun that the weight of the fun causes it to collapse on itself creating a FUN BLACK HOLE. Do you realize how much fun that would take? Do you also realize that may be a bit of an oxymoron? Yea, wrap your head around those things.

So yea, here I am at DC for the summer. My first impression of the city is that this place is great. It is a nice change from living in Pittsburgh. I am staying in the brand new Residence and Academic Facility that just opened this summer. There is a nice new car smell everywhere you go in this place. Sorry there aren’t any pictures in this post but I promise, the next post will have some. I plan on bringing my camcorder/camera with me as many places as is legally allowed. I have a feeling that you’ll never know when something big will happen around here.

Now, some of you may be wondering why I chose the name “Distinguished Gentleman” as my blog title. I mean, clearly, it does define me extremely well, but that wasn’t the reason. I just wanted to title it in connection with the name of a movie that was shot in DC. Originally, I was going to title my blog “Mars Attacks 2: Independence Day” or “A Few Good Men say Bye Bye Birdie to True Lies” But I decided to go with Distinguished Gentleman because it killed two birds with one stone.

I think I’ve talked enough for this post. Once again, welcome to my blog, ya’ll come back now, ya hear?
