"Damn the Defeatists"

Why, hello there!

Blogging is uncharted territory for me personally, so please bare with me. I feel silly placing an introductory greeting on a blog, but I guess if you're reading this, you have in fact traveled to my blogspot. Thanks for stopping by.

I guess I'd like to start by telling you why I'm blogging and how this particular blog got its name. I'm blogging first and foremost for myself. Then why do so through a public medium, you ask? Why not? I mean, I did major in Communication with an emphasis in media studies, for goodness sake. Technically, that probably makes me a social media-laggard. Anyhow, I've been debating starting a blog for months and have finally decided to document my musings, observations, and anything that inspires me. If in doing so I can add sprinkles of positivity to your life, then I'm happy to be of service! "Damn the Defeatists" is actually the name of a photo album I have on Facebook (okay, so maybe I'm not entirely a social media-laggard?). I consider it a life policy of sorts, and I think providing you with a dictionary definition of the word 'defeatist' should explain the rest.

According to Dictionary.com:

de·feat·ist [dih-fee-tist]
–noun



1. a person who surrenders easily or is subject to defeatism.


2. an advocate or follower of defeatism as a public policy.
