Time for a post about nothing...or maybe everything

I watched High School Musical 2 last night. I figure this can be viewed in 1 of 2 ways, taking into account that I have no children. One: as my wife put it upon learning of my television choice, "I'm sorry." I believe she meant it in a way to suggest that there really must not have been a better option at the time. Truthfully, I watched parts of Tiger Woods' incredible 2nd round in the U.S. Open during parts of the movie. I would superficially sum up this point of view as "why on Earth would you choose to watch that?" Two: as I watched the dozens of videos that had been sent in by children all over the U.S. portraying their individually choreographed and designed music videos using the soundtrack from High School Musical 2, I realized that another significant segment of the population would be just as surprised that I HADN'T already seen it. Amazing the breadth of interests in this country. What a place to live.

Applying one of the themes of High School Musical 2 (my new most favoritest movie until "Rock Camp" with the Jonas Brothers debuts, or so suggested Disney's thematic marketing) to this very blog, I realized that knowing who you are and finding comfort in that is one of the greatest blessings God can give you. One of the reasons this blog has yet been published on a schedule not unlike that of the summer Olympics is because it was originally intended to be only an offshoot of only a segment of my personality. It was something I needed to get out, but I don't think I really wanted to share it, at least not in the context of all things me. So, much like Troy Bolton discovers the rewards of self-awareness, I think this blog will turn into perhaps the greatest hodgepodge of postings I have witnessed on a single blog. Maybe it won't, but I can guarantee you that the me of four years ago would never have even entertained the idea to open the realm of posting possibility to all things my thoughts consume.

And just to prove it, here goes: can anyone else believe that Vanessa Hudgens of Gabriella-fame was in the movie Thirteen? Granted, she played the normal, old best friend of the corruptible main character, and not hell on Earth-child Evie Zamora, but still...Thirteen? I can't believe Disney was down with that.

Next thought: I really need to learn how to make links and insert pictures and stuff. This is going to be one really boring blog without them. (I did just learn how to do italics, though. Baby steps, people.)
