Thoughts on blogs

I know the question on everyone's mind. Have I ever fancied myself a blogger?

Never.

So, the question begs to be asked: Jeremy, why? (This will, in fact, become the most thought of phrase while reading my blog - it's a guarantee)

Perhaps it's my attempt at being trendy. You all know that I will fail miserably at that. I have never bought even a trinket at Urban Outfitters. I have a super trendy wardrobe from Old Navy. Sweet sweetness.

Perhaps it's my attempt at cultivating "friendships". Yes, the comments I receive will be life changing and deeply formative in my relationship with everyone. No, let's face it, blogs do nothing to further friendships really, besides letting one person read articles by another - while taking up time that could be spent chatting with that friend and thereby cultivating the friendship. (it's like text messaging - why text when you could just talk? IDK. . . .LOL)

I think the real reason I started the blog was simply a spur of the moment decision - fueled also by my desire to type something out; thoughts in my head that I don't want to forget. And later, when I want to forget them, I'll be screwed.

And I'll admit, just the rhythmic typing of the Apple's keyboard brings a sort of relief. Typing is great, when it has nothing to do with work.

So here's a bit about me:

I'm 27, from Kansas City, MO.

I'm married to Ashley - a woman so out of my league that looking at us together proves without a shadow of a doubt that there is a gracious God in heaven who indeed loves me and has a great plan for my life (1st spiritual law - God has given me the greatest woman on earth to live my life with - 6 years married and still in love more each day. Man, that's cool).

I have 2 boys: Micah and Tyler. Micah and Tyler are without a doubt the best kids on the planet. 3 1/2 and 2. You can ask my wife, or her parents, or my parents, or my sisters. . .or anyone. To look at their picture brings such a sense of pride and wonder in me. I don't deserve them - but man I love them so much.

I'm a Christian, which really means that man I love Jesus Christ. I'd do anything for Him and I'm learning to trust Him more. I lead worship for a tiny church service who make up my spiritual family. I'm okay at the guitar.

I am in between jobs because I quit mine last week and will be done on July 26. Please note: I do not like office work. I'm about to start working construction - and I couldn't be happier.

My interests: hiking and camping, when I can; baseball, football, basketball; running, working out.

TV Shows: The Office, Scrubs, Arrested Development, 24, Lost, Grays Anatomy (for my wife).

Books: currently reading The Chronicles of Narnia.

My first post is done and I guarantee they won't be this long often.

I do have to admit, I have enjoyed posting the blog. . . .oh crap, am I now a blogger? One of "those people"?

Jeremy, why?
