Well I always thought blogs were kinda retarded. From what I've read of other blogs (which is quite limited, I'll admit) they've always seemed boring as hell. I mean who really cares about the daily goings on of a 37 year old dude who lives in his mom's basement playing Warcraft for 16 hours a day? Maybe that's a bad example since there are probably hundreds of thousands of Warcrafters out there that really DO care. But I think I've made my point. Maybe my general dislike for blogs has something to do with my horrible writing skills. Or my rather limited vocabulary (although my favorite word is penultimate, which I learned in spanish class but that's another story...). What I'm really trying to say is that I've never felt like I had anything important enough to write down so others could read it. Until now, apparently. I've been told by more than a couple people recently that I need to start a blog.
Anyways, on to the reason for creating a blog of my own. Pretty much anyone reading this is probably someone who knows either myself or my lovely bride to be. But for anyone not in the know, I am getting married to the love of my life soon, Miss Kimberly (that would be Kim for short). Two weeks from tonight, in fact. After that we will be heading to Costa Rica for a week long honeymoon. Once we get back, we have about a day and a half before we move to Warsaw, Poland for 2-3 years. Yes, Poland. In Europe. For real. And since it will obviously be much harder to stay in touch with friends and family, Kim and myself will be using this to keep everybody updated. And what better time to start this thing up than now, whilst I sit alone in a hotel room in VA, my fiance at a bridal shower (for one of her bridesmaids whom is getting married a week after us) and all our worldy possesions either sitting in a warehouse somewhere or in one of the four suitcases next to the bed (3 of which are Kim's, might I point out).
I'm not really sure how often this will be updated, but we plan on doing as much traveling around Europe as we can possibly do. And as some of you know, I fancy myself as a bit of a photographer. Not professional by any means, but I do like to go clicky more than most people. And I don't want to beep my own horn, but I have had 2 photos published (beep beep), so I guess I'm not too terrible. So I will most definitely be updating my Flickr page (http://www.flickr.com/photos/stewedman/) every chance I get.
We primarily want to use this blog for talking about our wonderful travels and adventures, but who knows what we may put up here. Like hockey, for instance. Today I watched the Red Wings absolutely bitchslap San Jose on their way to winning (hopefully) their fourth Stanley Cup in 10 years. Or I guess I could mention that I'm watching the Pistons completely obliterate the Bulls right now buy 25 points. Check that, now it's 28. GO DETROIT SPORTS!! Except baseball. Screw baseball.
So that's just about it. This is our blog. Enjoy!
Nathan
