I must confess

I DID IT!

I published a post and then REMOVED it. I know, "shame, shame, shame, no your name." I used to get tired of my own voice, but I didn't realize that I could get tired of my own voice-over as I read what I published. Eck! Why have a blog if it's not going to sound remotely interesting to the potential reader?

The sad thing is that I woke up this morning with an idea for a good post title, but noooooo. So now I have to settle for shameless humor. Unless of course, I go back and...*ouch* what was that?

See what I mean?

Yo, so what I'm about

I can't help feeling like I'm trendy.

Nevertheless, not everything that "everybody is doing" is necessarily bad. I mean, hey, we're all souls determining our own matter and by the looks of it, these days I'm determing a lot more matter than in my younger years. But I digest. In an effort to battle that tendency in me to focus on the negative, to be a clanging cymbal (1 Cor 13:1) instead of a clashing one (Ps 150:5), I dedicate this page ad maiorem dei gloriam.

So even the simple realities-like the unity of body and soul-which I take for granted, I wish to showcase as meaningful. Heck, I even foresee a blog that is completely enamored by gravity. I mean, think about it. Here we are tied to the earth, contrary to the hopes and dreams of those who desire the gift of flight (or at least "momentum-propelled, low-gravity-type gliding") and yet a simple magnet can laugh in the face of gravity when it picks up a paper-clip. "Lucky!"

And yet, I reserve the right to "speak plainly" and use quotes "superfluously" and even express criticism against those things I feel may not be to my liking. But I detest.

Mostly I want to talk about the same stuff everyone else is talking about, but hopefully against this more noble background.

Here's to being trendy,
