So, a short introduction as I enter the world of blogging, twitter, and various other social media craziness.
- My name is Alden, I am a 23 year old Scorpio living in Philadelphia
- Life for me revolves around my dog, Rosie, who is a two year old rescue Collie/Sheltie mix
- I studied Art History in school, went to work at Vanguard, a conservative financial services company in Philly, and recently quit (yes, I did quit my job during the economic crisis… clearly I am very smart)
- I’m from Birmingham, Alabama, and it is my personal mission to inject some Southern culture into the cold, snowy North
- Top five activities currently: obsessively researching Web 2.0 and marketing, reading all sorts of new fiction and non-fiction (suggestions appreciated), attempting to figure out what to do with my life post-Vanguard, playing with Rosie and my friends, drinking loads of Diet Mountain Dew (and yes, I do know that the artificial sweetener is probably killing me slowly day by day)
So as I ponder past experiences like transitioning from college to corporate life, try to sort through my present, and plan out my future [career, movies to watch, places to visit, insert action here] I hope you’ll feel free to comment, ask questions, and generally empathize, sympathize, or criticize me freely.
