WHAT HAVE I DONE?!?!

My family was probably the last people in the Free World to get an answering machine. My dad said that if the call was really important then they would just keep calling back over and over and over until we were finally home. This strategy left me stranded alone at school one night until 9pm, but we digress. We were also the last people to purchase a cell phone. My dad used to even carry a fake one and carry on fake conversations in Wal-mart. Speaking of computers, if you don't know what DOS is, I know where I can get you one.

Although I have not to the same extent shared in my father's archaic distaste for modern technology, I still have a tendency to lag behind when it comes to the Internet. I remember cursing the day of Page Trimble's birth for using my computer to access Facebook. Okay I was upset, but not that much, but can you seriously not visit with a friend for a few hours and not check your stupid facebook page! But yet, I have been a semi-faithful facebooker for almost 3 years now. Now Mypsace, well somewhere very arid and dry will most likely freeze over before you see me on there.

And now we come to my opinion of the beloved blog. How can I state this without the use of expletives? Hmmm (Note: time spent reading does not adequately reflect time spent thinking). "Why would any person in their right mind in way believe that anyone in all of God's creation could even begin to give a rat's behind what random thoughts pop in their head? Especially those people who spout off their conceited opinion on some likely useless or inconsequential topic. Nobody cares what they think. No one with a life will even know that they have a blog."

I guess that's good enough to sum up my opinion on blogs. But as you (and that you is singular because I don't really assume more than one person will ever see this) are reading this statement I'm sure you are crying, "Stone the hypocrite! Off with his head!" But now I suppose I must offer an explanation......

In just over 2 weeks, from June 14 - June 24, I will be spending time in Paris with a group from Southeastern taking the opportunity to live and share the Gospel while helping the full-time missionaries that are there. So the original purpose of this blog is simply to post info for those who are interested about the interesting events that went down in The City of Lights.

So based upon my history of disdain for blogs this could be the end. Or it could be only the glorious beginning of a magnificient look into the mind of the mindless. Only history will tell, if history ever cares about my stupid blog.
