My First Blog

7 minutes ago I turned to my wife and said, "I would like to blog." So she prompted me to do it. Being that it is late, and we are sitting in bed waiting for our 6 week old daughter to finish nursing so we can sleep, I have no excuse not to start blogging! Sleep won't come for atleast another 20 minutes.

So, why blog? In some ways I feel sort of foolish. It seems like one of those things that is for nerdy, introspective folk. I might qualify I guess. But I think it will be a good outlet for me. Every day I have many ideas, feelings, thoughts, convictions, and questions bouncing around my brain. "Your bwain...?" (name that movie anyone?) I need to express them somehow. Sometimes I trouble my wife with my many queries about life. It goes one of two ways: Either she just listens, and says nothing. Sometimes I feel crazy when I am just spouting ideas and she is staring blankly. Or she makes a valiant effort to engage with me on an intellectal level (which I appreciate) but can only do so for a little while before blowing a circuit herself. And my topics of discussion usually involve philosophy, the Bible, God, the nature of life, and so forth.

So, hopefully my "blog" can allow for some creative expression, pontification, and possibly some feedback.

It has been 20 minutes, and sleep is approaching. Coming soon folks, an "about me" section, crazy theological ideas, the meaning of life, and MORE!

PS. I feel like the girl from Julie and Julia because she blogs throughout the whole movie. I am, however, not a moody late twenties female seeking higher meaning through cooking.

Later!
