Welcome!

Hello, and thank you for taking time to read my silly little blog! You are probably wondering what this blog will be about, and WHY I would call it Cowboy News. Well, you see, I have a particular fondness for guys who wear cowboy hats, but really, the name of this blog is to be blamed on my best friend, Victoria.

It all happened on a Tuesday. It was a beautiful afternoon, and I was strolling through the college campus on my way to Anatomy and Physiology lab when I caught sight of a guy.... a guy with a cowboy hat! This guy was sitting on a bench outside of the science building, which is surrounded by different plants, and he had his head down while he was looking at his ipod or cell phone, or something of that sort. Because the guy had his head down, it was a clear view of the top of his hat. Well, it seemed to me that the top of a cowboy hat on a guy sitting on a bench in the middle of plants would make a perfect picture. So perfect, in fact, that it could be the cover of a country music album... or so I thought. Although I was greatly tempted to pull out my phone and take a picture of this guy, I turned away, minding my own business, and continued on my way to class.

So, that is the background story. But, last night I was texting my aforementioned best friend and I told her that story. When Victoria asked why I didn't just take a picture, I replied that it would have just been too weird. But Vicky, always being quick to find me good solutions to my problems, said that I should have told the guy that I was a reporter. I believe Vicky's exact words were "You could say you were a reporter.... a reporter of.... umm.... Cowboy News!". And so, there you have it, my blog was born, and, also, the URL address of my blog should now be understood :D

I cannot promise that I will update this blog a lot, because... well.... I can't guarantee how often I will have news to share. I do hope you will check back often, however, I do realize that it is more than likely that I will amuse myself more than anyone else, and that's okay. I enjoy amusing myself, audience or no audience! If you did enjoy this post, I ask that you please follow my blog so that I can "see" my regular visitors, and, in turn, visit your page :D
