My Misguided History of Rome (Introduction)

If you haven't noticed lately I've not written in my blog much during the school year. This is mainly because I have been busy trying to be a successful college student. Naturally with less time during the day some activities have had to go and sadly one of them has been my blog. I know my viewers have been chomping at the bit for another blog post from me but everything has suffered even my dating life....
And by "dating life" I mean the scientific procedure of finding out how old stuff is.
Yesterday when I was listening to a lecture in my Roman History class I found myself chuckling at the shenanigans that occurred in ancient times. Then it hit me, "What if I combined school with my blog?" I first laughed this off because no sentence should ever start off with "What if I combined school with (insert relatively fun item here)." It simply doesn't ever turn out, successful people just delude themselves into thinking it will work for them only to see their entire dream washed down the drain...but it might work for me. So I came up with an idea to write Roman history in my own words which will not only help me study but give my viewers education which is what this blog has been about since day one.
"Dude...you literally spent half a post talking about a potty putter."-Reader
First off let me say that history in general is incredibly inaccurate if a crash happened outside your window right now and you along with five other people who saw it were asked to give an account of what happened would the reports look anything alike? The answer is no because in this hypothetical situation one of the witnesses named Bill never learned how to write and had to draw a picture instead.
"What Bill lacks in calligraphy he more than makes up for in foreshortening" 
In all seriousness though the answer is no because everyone sees things differently now take that car crash that happened and put it over two thousand years ago and instead of five witnesses make it one. Yeah you can be pretty confident history happened a lot differently than what you are told. I say this because I don't want some Weenie Hut Jr. graveyard-shifter trying to tell me how wrong I am about Ceasar's invasion of Britain. Yeah I know I'm spelling "Ceasar" wrong I'm doing it to annoy you.
"Are all your grammar mistakes trying to annoy us?"
So there you have my introduction I'll start pumping these boys out pretty soon and we'll see how it goes maybe this will turn into a thing maybe it won't and will die a fiery death. But we'll see if I can make Roman history fun for my audience...
Seriously
