Welcome to the Daily Top 6

If you have found this blog, congratulations I suppose. This is the first post on the blog and I am extremely new at this whole thing so maybe instead of congratulations, you can now consider yourself warned.

The purpose of this blog is simple. We all come across things in our lives that we say would be on our top 5 list, or top 10 list, or whatever. David Letterman has a top 10 list every day. Joesportsfan.com has a weekly top 7 list. Heck, Jon Cusack's character in High Fidelity created top 5 lists throughout the whole movie. But my lists will have a little different twist to them. I have lived through a lot of experiences in my 33 years on this great green earth. Throughout all of my experiences, I have created a sort of catalog of how they rank in relation to other similar experiences. Everything from love songs, hosts on Saturday Night Live, best (or worst) Chicago Cubs baseball teams, or simply my favorite beers that start with the letter "R" will be written about on this blog.

What this blog will NOT be is a regurgitation of other rankings or listings you see on an everyday basis. You will not see who I think should be in the top 6 in the college football rankings. Nor will you see a rankings of the top downloaded songs for this week. You can view that stuff somewhere else and quite frankly, those types of rankings are lame and biased by the almighty dollar. What you will also not see here is any pornography, adult entertainment, shrewd language, racist remarks, or sexism. Again, you can easily find that somewhere else. That is not to say that I might not rank the top 6 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue covers or rank the top 6 black hockey players of all time. Those subjects are definitely in my crosshairs and will be discussed at some point. You will also not see rankings of things that have not happened in my lifetime because, quite frankly, I really don't care about those things and can't really tell you if President Coolidge was a better president than George W. Bush (although my money IS on Coolidge).

Please keep in mind that I am also just an average guy with a computer. I am not an English professor (although my sister may be and will probably critque everything that I write) that will write with perfect grammar, spelling, or punctuation. There will probably be mistakes so BACK OFF and don't chastise me for grammatical errors.

So again, welcome to a snapshot of what goes on in my brain on a daily basis. I have lots of thoughts and quite frankly, I am bored of keeping them to myself. The first top 6 list will be posted tomorrow. Please, if you have any suggestions for rankings that should be on here, I would love to hear from you.
