Let it Begin!

Greetings to all of you random strangers and fellow classmates. I am Jeremy Painter.

I have attempted to maintain a blog before, but they always end poorly. Despite by intentions, I am a repeat failed blog offender. Hopefully my Writing for Mass Media class will help me develop a routine of blogging that will continue beyond this semester. We will see...

Don't get me wrong, I do believe that blogging is good. A writer writes, as they say, and this is a good medium to practice writing and proofreading. Plus since New Media is suppose to my specialty, I should at least be embracing the technology. So here I am... embracing it.

My wife, on the other hand, is a very successful blogger. Her blog is called Slowing Down the Painter Life and she has maintained it successfully for over a year. This blog tells of the successes and misfortunes of her gardening, cooking and eating local & organic, as well as her bustling life as a mother.

I'm ashamed to say I don't read her blog much- but then I live it. I get to eat all of the food she's writing about, cooked with all the vegetables shes grown. Its not a bad arrangement, all in all. Maybe she will consider my swimming endorsement of her blog as a way to say I respect it (that is if she bothers reading mine, since I rarely read hers.)

Anyway, I have joined the Blogisphere. I am embracing it lovingly. If you are interested in my randomness, wit'icisms, and jovial personality then you are welcome back anytime.

And thanks for reading this far...
