Oh good... Another Blog

Why a Blog? Why Now? Two good questions… Am I starting the blog because I feel I have an unnatural amount of wisdom to share with the world at large? Or have I just grown tired of waiting to start a blog with my future wife (who is currently M.I.A.) so we can share every detail of our proposal, reception and Honeymoon vacation and then abandon the blog once the reality of day-to-day married life sets in? Or maybe the real reason for me blogging is a hybrid of the first two scenarios. Maybe, just maybe, my future wife is out there, somewhere, creeping online and will be totally smitten by my 26 years of life experience and wisdom that will be divulged on this very blog!

In all truth I was blogging long before “blogging” was even a popular term. In high school I had a website that I regularly updated and filled with random rumblings about my life. Sadly… And perhaps thankfully… Those posts have been deleted by the webhost I was using at the time and that site was rather time consuming to maintain. I’ve decided to restart my blogging for several reasons, some of the more note worthy reasons are because I’ve enjoyed silently stocking other friends blogs and I think it will be a good outlet for some of my obsessive compulsive thoughts.

At times I feel as a society we are WAY to open with our personal lives. When I know every aspect of a couple’s breakup or I know specific details of an acquaintances inner battles simply by reading their status updates of facebook I cringe. Yet at the same time some of that openness has made it possible for me to read posts on friend’s blogs that can be funny, heartfelt, and faith promoting.

So that’s the background of this blog… And as is usual with me, I used a lot of words to get across some rather basic thoughts… (If I was talking to you in person it would have seemed much shorter, in that I talk fast… or so I have been told.) So if you happen to stumble across this blog again hopefully you won’t have to cringe because of what I’ve posted… And if you are my future wife reading this… Stop creeping around and email me!
