Peer Pressure Always Conquers

I have finally started a blog after being told over and over again to do so. I feel like my coolness level has plummeted. Lets face it, for ever one awesomely hilarious blog there are five-hundred super lame ones (no real studies were used for this statistic). And I'm pretty sure that my blog will be one of those sad five-hundred. As we all know, one is at their funniest when they are not trying. As a result of having this blog I will be trying my darnedest to impress the blogging community. Therefore, I am bound to be uncool and unfunny as well as making a fool of myself, good thing I don't get embarrassed easily.

This blog is also bound fail miserably. Like everything else I have set out to do I will eventually quit. Its what I am famous for in my family. I have tried numerous sports only to establish that once again that I am in no way at all athletic. The same goes for musically oriented activities such as piano and violin lessons and choir. I have quit every single one these. I have a hard enough time completing a sudoku. Pretty much the only thing I have never quit on is a movie. But even then I have come across exceptions; Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band and Tommy. For the most part I can last through the crappy films that inhabit the earth.

But hey, no one is perfect. I would not be the first nor the last to succumb to abandoning their blog. The saddest example of this, in my opinion, would be the Leonard family. During the summer of my transitioning from Junior High to High School I discovered a little show called The Brendan Leonard Show on ABC Family. Every time I happened upon it I would bask in the hilarity of what was Brendan Leonard and friends. It made for a glorious summer. Years later, after youtube was created, I was curious to see if the show was as funny as I remembered it to be. My curiosity led me to discover that the family had a blog/vlog (I apologize for the use of vlog. I kind of think it's a lame word). Pretty much, laughing is my favorite thing to do and this family could make me laugh. I would go to their website regularly in hopes of a new post. After months of faithful visits I noticed that the posts were becoming fairly rare and eventually stopped altogether. It will becoming up on a year since they last posted anything. Every now and then I will check in hopes that by some small chance something has been posted, only to have those hopes dashed. I highly suggest that everyone, if anyone even reads this, to visit and view past postings
http://campjinx.pictureshowfilms.com/ . It has brought great joy to my life and I mourn its loss every day of my life. I recommened first looking at Matt and Margartia they make me laugh the hardest.
