Might Be a Montage

Ooooh. My first post. I've never posted a blog before. I'm a little nervous. Not sure what to write. There's one side of me that wants to rant and rave and fly around in all caps like a ticked off 300 pound male version of Avril Lavigne.

I'm not 300 pounds though. I've been losing a little weight. I do paint my nails black on occasion though.

Then there's another side of me that is really excited about just blogging about fun stuff. Reporting about vacations, family time, life lessons and Notre Dame football. Aaaah, that sounds fuzzy. Like hot coco, marshmallows and dandelions. Doesn't it? I mean, really... I know I'm a very lucky guy to have my wife Kristin, who is so faithful, loving and supportive--committed to this family and committed to loving me through all the gale force winds. She said once that she married me because the safest place in a storm is in it's eye. hmmm. not sure if that's a complement. And I have a great little daughter--she's got me wrapped. And i could just blog everyday about my two girls and our adventures together.

Then there's another quadrant that wants to keep it all pro. Seven Habits, 21 Irrefutable laws, One Minute everything, Rich Dad Poor everyone, the Creative Cow and all the barn yard animals. Really geek out and let fly about my business, client management, advertising and marketing trends, the entertainment industry, and all the latest developments in the uber-cool world of digital media. I could easily get lost writing in twists and tangles about the wired world of my profession. I can't help it... I'm passionate about it! I was made to do this stuff!

And of course I could dig deeper and really unpack some stuff about my faith, my questions, my answers (usually wrong, but still answers). My journey trying to follow Christ. Trying to make a difference and trying to do the next right thing. It could spin in a positive direction--the incredible awe of God I have experienced on the proverbial mountain tops, the lives I've seen changed for good, the people I have known who've made a difference. The hand of God I've felt from time to time. The Grace I rely on. Wow. I think I could do that.

Maybe I will. Maybe I'll just get around to all that somehow.

Oh, one thing though. I might accidentally or intentionally forget my audience from time to time. I might just forget about your feelings, and your perception. I might get inconsiderate or even offensive. I hope I don't hurt you. I hope I help. And I hope I learn and discover new things from all this.

If nothing else, maybe it will be a montage.
