What is a blog anyways?

Is that where you, like, write about your day and expect people to read about it? huh. I guess, but hopefully not that narcissistic. Now that I'm done with school, I have quite a bit of free time and there aren't enough crossword puzzles to try or blog-posts to read to fill the void of a CC block (for those of you who aren't bikers, everyone who's anyone has a blog these days and, as much as I hate to admit it, I find myself checking them quite often). Also, not matter how many pictures I try to take during trips, I never seem to take enough. I figure if I feel like a few of you will occasionally check-in (Mom, Dad, I know I can count on you two!), then I'll take more pictures and better document my trips. Lastly, one of the worst parts about bike-racing for me is being away from the people that I like. Hopefully this blog will inspire some more communication. So, I've jumped on the blog bandwagon partly out of boredom, partly out of a desire to journal trips, and partly as a way to spur emails with you all who I'll be missing while I'm away. I hope you'll cooperate.

What are you going to write about today Colin? Whatever I feel like I wanna write about, gosh! Not sure what kind of content racechild.blogspot.com will have (you wouldn't believe how difficult it is to find a unique site name--title creds to Mari). Undoubtedly some bike racing, but hopefully not too much. Surely some travel-gone-awry stories as well, but hopefully not too many. Fishing stories? Only if you're lucky. whatevs, we'll see.

Note: Any grammatical errors, misspellings, or general bad writing done on this blog is intentional. If you don't catch the subtle irony of these "mistakes," well, your bad, I guess. Don't expect me to live up to the critically acclaimed "Big Red does Japan" or "Two Nomads, One Continent" either. Those two are untouchable and trying to live up to their professionalism would overwhelm me with pressure.

Until I figure out a clever sign-off phrase,
Colin

I don't know, I think that "I don't know if there is enough time..." has a ton of potential to far exceed both blogs cited on your blog, especially with that awesome initial picture. I look forward to what is to come. Good luck in Cali, little one. You will be missed in the great state of Colorado.

So you have entered the blogosphere...you truly are a man now. Put up some pictures so I can get jealous of your trips and escapades. I rode a bike once, I think I was like nine, but I went very fast...until some girl made fun of the tassles on my handle bars. Peace out.

I love it! I am so excited to move this to the number one spot in my daily reading routine (and I mean daily!). Checking racechild.blogspot.com, a little Home Depot... maybe Bed Bath and Beyond. There will be time. I'll make time. xox
