Jumping Into the World of Blogging

After much debating, I have finally decided to create a blog to show the world my interests, hobbies, passions, dreams, and love. I have a few friends that have a blog and I enjoy reading about their lives. I would have to say it is a healthy dose of reality, not the kind you see on TV. I admit I watch some of it, but sometimes, there is just too much bloody drama. The drama that you can't stand even when it's not on TV.

My very first inspiration was Ivan, who concentrates his blog to the world of fashion. I am a big fan because I am somewhat jealous of his sneaker collection. I have found the Mexican male version of Imelda Marcos. Although, I'm sure his shoe fetish barely compare to hers, Ivan sure has an astonishing collection. A collection that most sneaker heads dream to accomplish.

One of my coworkers who I became good friends with is having a baby soon. His wife started a blog about the progression of her pregnancy. Whenever we read updates on their blog, it brings joy to Crystal and I to see their excitement as they prepare for their baby. What they go through as a couple is something Crystal and I can relate to. It's like watching a TLC reality show only it's better because we actually know them.

Tonight couldn't have been a better night to start our blog because Crystal and I watched the movie Julie and Julia. Seeing Amy Adams perform Julie Powell's character ignited the fuel in my gas tank. I don't know what appealed to me more, her passion for cooking or her talent as a writer. It just goes to show that you can't accomplish something overnight but if you set goals, you might just get somewhere.

There are so many things that are going on right now in our lives that I just can't help but share. But whatever it might be, I hope it can be helpful or just another dose of reality. =)
