dear vanessa, here i am blogging.

Vanessa Hiebert is the only reason that i would ever blog.

Yes, i used to (used to meaning i still do/will) make fun of people that would display their personal lives and feelings on the internet for "all" to see....but now the webbed finger is pointed in my direction and boy is my pride sure taking a walk through the firewall. (that's internet savvy lingo right?)

Bad grammer and sentence fragments aside...i just wanted to post a comment on vanessa's blog and this is what they made me do. ("they" being "the man" of course....and "the man" being...google...whoever google is.)

but don't give me that much credit...i'm pretty much pretending that i'm above blogging.

I would like to say that for years i have hid behind the fact that i'm "too cool to blog".
In my mind i would think..."Yup, i'm pretty important...i don't blog...in fact i hate the word blog..it's a useless word and whenever i say it i feel like a tool." I would make fun of my friends that would blog...i started a fan club called "if you blog you're a loser". I actually never started that fan club but if i would have known ANYTHING about fan club starting....that would have been the club that i would have started.

BUT what i've really come to say is that i've shed my skin...i'm becoming older...and with this coming of age i have decided that blogging...albeit self indulgent at times...can be something that doesn't have to be all bad. and i don't always have to be "the coolest".

and well folks...i still feel like i tool when i say ,write and think the word blog...but world...i have embraced myself and nussled up in the toolshed that has become my home.

BLOGSSSSS AWAYYYYYY!!!!!!!
