Here's my Blog

Blogs, blogs, blogs. I can't go anywhere these days without hearing about the blog. What's a blog anyway? Okay, I get it, it's a web log, but what does that really mean? Isn't that kind of like an on-line diary that people can see, judge and respond to? I like to keep most of my thought-life
private. And if I wanted to make my thoughts public, I'd probably just share with someone who cares. A blog is really just a slow motion chat room. And why do people post stuff on these things? Is it because we think what we have to say is cool or that others may be better for hearing it? Not my blog. I want my blog to be different. I don't want to use it as a way to take my thoughts from the private sector to the public. I want to use it as a tool to sell my desk, locate a great used car, or announce a new baby's arrival. I want my blog to inspire a cure for disease, clean my house, and pick out an outfit for this weekend's goings on. I want my blog
to cut the caloric and fat content of the fast food I had today. My blog will be the maid of honor at your wedding and cut you in half at a magic show!

Blog that, bloggers!

I'm Growing a Beard

I've never done this before. A friend of mine didn't shave for a few days then just grew a beard for a week to see what it would look like. So I'm going to try it out. I haven't shaved since Monday and this is what it looks like:



I wanted to grow it out then shave off everything but the mustache then have everyone start calling me magnum. We'll see how the plan goes.
