To the Blog Again

Well I'm back to blogging. At least temporarilly. Every once in a while I think to myself I should journal an event in my life and I'm quickly coming up on one of those times. Don't expect too much from over the new few weeks, but I do plan to post several times. If you're still reading blogs and haven't completely moved on to Facebook or Twitter I'm glad to share with you.

Going Natural

My apologizes for being a blogger slacker. I really don't feel like updating this thing but I didn't want to just hang it out to dry. My mind has been completely side tracked with the spring season.

Every spring I get that itch to just get the heck outside and leave the world and my busy life behind. It is this time of year that confirms over and over again my heart's desire to be a traveler. Not everyone finds the same communion with nature but I have come to cherish those moments. As long as I can remember I loved backpacking and camping. Recently I picked up a new hobby of fishing and kayaking. I plan to take at minimum five camping/kayaking/fishing trips before the end of May. So needless to say I won't have a ton of time to update this thing. Between my camping trips and youth I will be very busy. Hopefully I'll get around to updating pictures.

If I find any cool Bible verses or encounter any strange phenomenon you'll be sure to know.

Much Love, Zane

Shower at the Gym

It has recently come to my attention that I link to this blog on facebook. Well I guess I already knew that. Typically my blog is relatively personal and sometimes I'll post things about work that I might not want people at work to read. I just assumed the majority, the mass majority, of my facebook friends read my facebook and not my blog. Apparently I was wrong.

So in light of that I just want to mention a few things. First and foremost if you are a coworker and happen across my blog please read it. I am not ashamed of what I write. I intend what I write because I'm documenting whats going on in my life. I won't bash people or complain (too much), but I do attempt to write honestly.

Secondly I realize that I go to the gym with a lot of coworkers, and I must admit it is EXTREMELY awkward to discover this while I'm in/entering/exiting the shower. I can't tell you how many times I have noticed or walked into a coworker in the locker room shower. Why can't we run into each other in the weight room or doing cardio? Seriously is this some sick joke the Heavens are playing on us? Man it is weird. So if you are a coworker and you've seen me naked I'm sorry.

LOL.

You People are Nerds

So I posted a poll because it looked fun. The number 1 thing you would do if you could do anything: Learn to speak another language. I voted to become a beet farmer.

Not Public / Blog Guidelines

I don't have anything of value to post. I really would like to blog more often, however it is hard to just make stuff up to talk about. I would like to blog more often, simply because its fun. It is nice to have a random thought, share it through a blog, and then wait for people to respond. That brings me to my next point. We should comment on other's blogs more often. This makes blogging more fun because it completes the circle of bloglife. Without the comments blogs seem impersonal, bleak, and boring.

By the way, I do have stuff I would like to blog about. However, it is too personal to blog at this time. Josh, my roommate, suggested that we not share so much personal stuff on public blogs. Sometimes personal stuff should not be carelessly thrown into the blogosphere. I say a good rule of thumb is if you can't say it in real life, then you shouldn't be blogging about it.

To make up for my lack of quality blog, I will post some funny emergency warning signs. You can find the rest at safenow.org.

monday...

I strongly dislike Mondays. I would say that I hate Mondays, but I'm trying to stay as positive as I can. I don't want to make "hate" a goto word when I'm trying to describe something else. If I say hate, I want it to be like...whoa, Zane really doesn't like that to the point where he hates it. You know what I mean?

I created a blog today. In all honesty, I created this blog for two reasons. One, because Jenny uses her blog and I want to be able to respond. Two, Mike created a blog for the church, and I wanted to be able to respond.

But now that I'm back on the blogging circuit, I'm reminded of my time blogging for livejournal, and the occasional blog on myspace. I do enjoy blogging, as long as people read it.

I would just write in my prayer journal if I didn't want people to read it, so the only way this blog will get any traction is if people read it.
