Succumbed to peer pressure

It appears that this blogging thing is the new wave of communication. I have found myself reading other people's blogs quite regularly. Joining in sounds interesting and if I don't put too much pressure on myself to be erudite and hilarious, and avoid pretention, it may be a good way to bounce ideas around and let creativity flow (oops - already sounding pretentious).

First Entry:
Since I don't have to leave for my job as early during this time of year I have been taking my kids to school on a regular basis. Today was picture day so there was a variety of traumas revolvoing around hair and clothing for the oldest kid. The middle child was truly unhappy due to a canker sore and an injured toe. The youngest was just pissed because kindergarten "is just too loooonnggg." I was going to go tell the photographer to be sure my children were not smiling for their pictures because we should portray them as they really are.

Well, that wasn't too hard. Not erudite, not hilarious and not pretentious.

As Tony Kornheiser says, I'll try to do better next time.

Look, bitch, we all publish shit about ourselves. Blogging is pretentious. As long as your in, and in fer good, ya might as well go whole hog. Find your inner pretense. And if you're avoiding a picture of yourself in your profile because it seems "pretentious," well that is just silly.

*^*^Seth walks away, thinking... there... did i use a form of "pretentious" in my first comment on his first blog as many times as he did?... did i leave the oven on?... is it friday yet?... where are my keys?...
