man post

As I was perusing the links associated with my younger sister’s blog and realizing that she had more friends than me, I also realized that blogging is not a very manly thing to do. In fact none of the people I know who were directly or indirectly linked to her site are men. Most, if not all, are in fact women. This is good and bad for me. Much like being a male cheerleader is both good and bad. However, also much like being a male cheerleader, this is mostly bad.

Good because I am an anomaly which creates a fair amount of interest, much like having a third arm or two noses. This is because people are enthralled by abnormalities.

Bad because I don’t look nearly as ruggedly handsome in a dress. Handsome, absolutely; rugged, an emphatic ‘no’. This is because people are appalled by abnormalities.

That said I have decided to post a ‘Man Post’ defined as anything dealing with boom, vroom, or doom. This will probably be the next post, but here’s a sneak peek:

It’s important to start the militia training early in the formative years. That way, it’s a lot harder to brainwash them into reality later on.

1. Who's the cute blonde?
2. I think Melissa should let you get a motorcycle (the gas mileage savings may outweigh the tragic possibilities). Just make sure you have a life insurance policy.
3. Wish Gill a Happy Thanksgiving for me.

1. This is my niece Lily. And no, my sister was not home when this was going on.
2. JULI THIS IS NOT HELPING! (Did Justin put you up to this?!)
3. Gill is most likely hibernating for the winter. Do you think that gophers wake up if you fill their hole with water while they are hibernating?

Hi Justin and Melissa! You'll probably go private after you realized that I stalked you and found your blog. I love it! So funny. I was just thinking about you guys, so sorry that a crazy Texan found you (Do I have to call myself one--please say no?). BUT, I couldn't help but respond to this post. Lee posts on our blog...but more often than not he posts comments on the girl's blogs that are linked to mine. I think they often wonder why my husband is writing on their blog. His recent manly post: http://ljprincefamily.blogspot.com/2009/01/compelling-case-forabraham.html (It includes a reference to sausage and Simpson) I'm glad you're writing!
