It was 1978 and mopeds were all the rage. Christmas morning brought me my sleek, black and gold, bench seat, mag wheeled, chariot that represented my first real taste of freedom and independence. From that day on "Riding My Garelli" has always represented going my own way, doing my own thing, the occasional crash, and learning new lessons with every turn of the throttle. Let's go for a ride!

OK......so.....it's a Blog.

I've never really understood blogging. I mean....it's always seems a little egotistical to think that I could write down what I was feeling, thinking, observing, or dreaming on a particular day and that someone...anyone...would really care to read it. As I write this I'm thinking "I have a blog with no followers at this point so why am I writing something that no one may ever see?".  I didn't say that out loud so I'm not sure the quotes were appropriate. Regarding that notion here are a few ground rules. First of all, I love to write but I am terrible at spelling and most other things "grammar". There I go with the quotes again. You get the point. B.) I will be all over the place with what I write about but you can bet it will hover around my girls, my faith, and Auburn football....in no particular order. (side note: I like doing the "....." becasue I feel it more vividly conveys a pause in speaking. part 2 of this note is that as you can see in part one I cannot type the word "because" without transposing the letters "s" and "u". Don't ask me why but unless I spell check you will see it misspelled a thousand times on this blog.) 3.) I will offend some or most of you at some point in time but I do love conversation and debate and certainly welcome comments that stimulate our brains. I'm not even sure you can comment on blogs. Guess we'll find out. IV.) If you are unfortunate enough to get sucked into this vortex of ramblings, stories, and probably very polarizing opinion you are most likely someone I know well and therefore someone I probably love in some form or another. There will probably be a few of you who decide to follow this blog that I don't care for but if that's the case the feeling is probably mutual. Off the top of my head I can't think of anyone that I don't care for that actually likes me. That's probably the way it should be. I still love you though. And 5.) I have never journaled even though it is something that I have always wanted to do. I have 2 or 3 really nice, completely empty journals that I have never been able to bring myself to use. How this is any different I'm not sure other than there will be no deep dark secrets revealed here. That being said, I will struggle with writing in a way that is enjoyable to read and total stream of conscience babbling. Again, I've never been sure why people write blogs so I will wrestle constantly with "why am I writing this and who cares?". I'm kind of enjoying this already so beware....it might catch on. How long is a blog suppose to be anyway? I'll end here....just becasue. :)
