Now that I've got your attention with that baffling and shocking headline (first impressions are very important), hello and welcome to my first blog - made, coincidentally, with the help of My First Blog(TM), a product Sony put out for the 0-3 market.
So who am I and what am I doing here on the Intertubes? Well, as the title to this blog suggests, my name is Elliott J. Christ. The J stands for James and Christ rhymes with pissed. The picture on the left shows you what I look like from the side, in a yellow shirt and with my eyes closed. I'm a senior at NYU's Gallatin School and live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend Meg, though at the moment I'm broadcasting from my parents' home in Pennsylvania. I play music - you can listen and/or download it on myspace.com/elliottchrist - and do a bunch of dramatic writing and filmmaking in my college work.
As for this blog... I find myself coming up with crazy shit and writing it down on various random objects - bar napkins, ATM reciepts, neighboring subway riders, etc - and so to serve the joint duties of centralizing my writing, perfecting my writing style, and sharing it with whoever's willing to listen, I impulsively decided to start Elliott J. Christ on a Crutch, established About Five Minutes Ago.
So what will you find on this blog? Sure, you got yer disembodied ramblings of a creep with nothing better to do at the moment, but you'd get that on any blog. That goes with the territory. What this blog will specialize in is, admittedly, a bit foggy at the moment, so I put a sort of vague preamble/mission statement thingy above, just below the title.

So what you can expect ranges from full-on essays to series of disconnected one-line thoughts to songs to pictures to songs to videos to sewing patterns to carpeting samples. And other things to be decided. So, for now, enjoy this blog filler and see you soon!
