First time for everything

Ok, so I am trying this whole blog thing out. To be honest it seems really pretentious. It’s got a kind of, “listen to me I’ve got something important to say”. I hate pretentious people and pretentious religious people make me want to scream. So let’s start this experiment out right.

Here are reasons why I have nothing important to say.

1. I am no better than you; I just own a computer that I can type on.
My thoughts are no more important than yours. (I know this screams post-modernism to say this but I really don’t feel any more important than you. Just because I have e-mail and an internet connection does not mean I have something “BIG” to say.)

2. I am a horrible speller. I know this one seemingly does not relate to why I am no better than you, but hear me out. Our society values smart people. People who can type fast, spell well, and tie their own shoes without falling over somehow advance further in American society. I can’t spell, I type with 3 fingers, and don’t know 9x9 off the top of my head.

3. I got great grades in the 2nd grade (the 2nd time I took it). For an explanation of why I had to take the 2nd grade twice see #2 above.

4. I got a 4.0 in my “Beginners Greek" class in Bible College. Granted it was the 3rd time I took this intro course. (If I can’t spell in English what makes you think I can spell in Greek?)

5. My feet sometimes smell. I hate perfect looking people and people with body odor usually turn others away, so before you read any further you should know my feet sometime smell like a dead dog in a Jr high boy’s locker room.

There, that felt good. We can call it cyber therapy. Not only did I not have to lie on a couch, but it was free, and you learned something in the process. It’s a win/win.
