tone deaf
April 18, 2007 10 Comments
I spent quite some time trying to come up with a catchy name, title, look and feel to this, my first blog page. I somehow felt that its success (whatever that means) would rely on the tone (please refer to the title reference) of the initial visit of whomever mysteriously stumbled across my page. I was concerned with the “catchy” heading and the “interesting feel” of the layout as well as the deep and intelligent first posting. I was going over all of the people that I assumed would visit, at my request, and all of the people that they would recommend to visit due to its incredible insight and ground breaking topics of discussion. I was also wondering when the last time the Pulitzer was given to an Italian?
So I started writing my first post… <enter>my son…
“Hey Dad what’s up”? (reads screen) “Who wrote that stuff”?
Then I realized that all that “goo” wasn’t me at all. It had nothing to do with what my intentions are for this blog thing. Come to think of it, I have little or no expectations for this as it is a new experience for me all together. I can, however, tell you what I hope…
I hope to help someone. I hope to encourage. I hope to shed some light on anything! I have been told, more than once, so I assume its true, that I have a pretty cool way of speaking to people about situations they are in that I am familiar with. I enjoy sharing things about who I am that prove to be beneficial to others that are open to suggestions and in similar situations.
So here’s the deal…
I’m going to randomly speak about being a husband to my wife for almost 14 years (Aug 21, 1993), a father to my children (boy 12 girl 8), a good neighbor, and a friend. I may speak about work, fitness, bowling (don’t laugh), books, or movies, but probably how they relate to my family. I also like to speak from the viewpoint of a guy and I will probably be more funny than deep.
Cause that’s how I roll…
Hey,
Looks interesting. Love you and your ideas.
i’m looking forward to this…
BORING! just kidding. I’ve thought about doing this, and yet…
charlie…just to let you know that your comment on Mary Mail encouraged me. Be a good husband and dad.
I don’t think our paths have crossed unless you ever worked for Uncle Sam!
Later…
never did anything with Sammy
but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once.
H.I.X. – comical!
until the next engagement…
I must say, I don’t usually find other peoples blogs interesting or worth reading, like mine! HAHAHAHA! But I think I’m a fan of yours already!
Charlie, nice looking change! My compliments!
very funny stuff!
