Busted

Turns out I have been busted by the Blog Police. You probably didn’t know that such a force existed but it does and the rumors are true…nasty little buggers! Not only has my phone been ringing of the hook but my e mail inbox is exploding with hate mail regarding my inability to commit to blogging. To save you some trouble the following excuses do not work:

“ I am taking a may term class…to busy!” (the response: Go in to school even earlier and do it when you check you e mail.)

“I don’t have Internet at my house!” (the response: type it in word and post it later (this is what I am currently doing.))

“Nobody reads it anyway…” the response: I do! and so does that Jim guy.)

It’s unfortunate that I have been caught. I have never been real amazing with commitment so it doesn’t really come as a surprise. Maybe that’s why I have attended 6 churches semi regularly in the last 5 years, 3 colleges in 4 years.
One of my favorite lack of commitment stories is that while attending UW-River Falls I was a member of the Figure Skating Club. Probably one of the proudest members the club had. I often bragged about being a part of it and just randomly dropping it as a conversation starter. I got the newsletter, the e mails, the event calendar but never once attended (no I didn’t order the t-shirt…who do you think I am anyway).

I must admit I do have a “facebook” account (to clarify: this is comparable to “myspace” or one of those other online networks you hear so many bad things about). This program however… I believe to be harmless. I enjoy the ability I have to keep in contact with people from my previous commitments. Friends from other schools and stages of my life. Within this page or community (my community being only people I know) is a group option. You are allowed to both create and join groups. I belong to various groups: cottonNstrings fan club, Knitting Fools, LPBC alumni, Sara Groves Fan Club, and the Yes I come from the center of the universe known as Paynesville group. I have decided and state very simply on my page that “facebook” groups are for me…. For the simple reason that they require absolutely no commitment on my part but at the same time I get the benefit of the label, and get to be a part of the big group.

Now that I think of all of this… Isn’t that why I played sports in Jr. High and High school. It wasn’t because I was good at it.. cause I wasn’t.. but I got to be a part of the team.
I am not asking to be captain blogging police. I am just asking to be a part of the team!!!!!! Is that so bad??? GOLLLL!!!!!!
