Today as I read about the recent deadly high rise apartment building fire in Shanghai, the post I had written in my previous blog Dorm No. 6 about a poorly built Shanghai skyscraper that toppled to the ground came to mind. I looked back at my long ago retired blog to review my post and discovered that exactly one year ago today I wrote my last Dorm No. 6 post. I was immediately motivated to blog again, but as I am no longer a study abroad student in Harbin, China, living in Dorm No. 6, a new blog was in store - hence the creation of apropos of irrelevance.
You may ask, why the name apropos of irrelevance? The name of a blog is arguably its most important feature, but I have chosen the vaguest of names, giving readers no direction or expectations whatsoever. I must admit this is partly because I have not yet fully developed the scope of this blog, and I wanted to make a post on the anniversary of my final Dorm No. 6 entry. However, at the same time, I have consciously picked this name so as to avoid limiting the subject matter about which I may impulsively post. Nothing is irrelevant!
So stay tuned as I discover the path this blog will take. With any luck, November 15, 2011, won't be the anniversary of this blog's final post as well.
