So after working on all the aesthetics of the site for the past week I am just about finished. I have one more page to finish uploading some information to, but other than that I am ready to roll. I am very excited to finally get started on my blog. It’s something I have been “meaning to” get started on for quite some time, but I ran into some lack of time issues. However, here I am with my first post on my almost finished blog site. Well, actually that’s not entirely accurate. My real first post is the letter I wrote to my readers that you can find here. I felt it was important to share with my readers the motivation and goals which have driven me to write this blog. I also shared some of the presuppositions I have made of my audience prior to embarking on this journey, which I feel is important for my readers to know. So really this is like my 2nd post. Well… actually this isn’t even going to be a real post because I was just wanting to get started and layout some of what is to come in the next few weeks. So in actuality this more of an extension of the Welcome Letter, so technically we can still call this my first post. Phew! The waters sometimes can get a little tough to tread in my head sometimes;but you live by the sword, you die by it. Or so they say.
Having that ordeal out of the way, I just want to say I am really excited to finally get started. I have so much to to share with you I can hardly think of where to start. I think I will start up with some light reading for you… Something like: ‘Why No God Makes No Sense’, ‘Racism Only Exists if You Let It’, or ‘This Gay Movement is So Gay!’ I don’t know which I will start with, but I know at some point you will get a chance to see my perspectives on all three. The title’s are meant to ruffle some feathers, but the content is not. I hope to really get some people outside there comfort zone and thinking a little differently. It’s coming soon!
In the meantime, some food for thought.
Somewhere in the South there were twin brothers both with high moral character: Tim and Tom. The brothers were both in love with the same girl, Mary. Mary loved both of them and knew she couldn’t choose between the two. So Mary told them that she would marry the one that could prove he loved her more. After much thought and planning, the brothers went to work on their respective plans. Tim wrote her a beautiful song, gave her flowers, and had a heart with “Mary” inside tattooed on his chest. Tom went to Mary’s best friend Betty, under the guise that he was Tim. He gave her a huge bouquet of flowers, played her the song that Tim wrote for Mary, and then slept with Betty, after asking her to marry him. Betty was so excited that she ran to Mary and told her what had happened, thinking that it would make Mary’s choice easier. Mary was visibly upset and asked Betty about the tattoo on Tim’s Chest. Betty insisted that Tim did not have a Tattoo on his chest. Mary instantly knew what had happened. After much thought and deliberation, Mary chose to marry Tom.
The question is: Why would Mary choose the brother who was deceitful, betrayed his own brother and slept with her best friend?
