Taking Off!

And were off. My name is Joseph Crotty, and I am very excited to be writing my first blog post. I am starting this blog because of a school assignment at Fordham University, however, I think I am going to to get a lot out of it. I am very interested in sports, politics, and history. I will frequently post my opinions on these subjects, and I welcome comments. But enough of that, the countdown is on 6 days until my birthday!
