What I've learned of love and blogs, I've learned from my wife. Written by: Scot Gotfredson

This post will focus on the second of those two topics.

Blogs are an online forum used for creative self-expression. If we were playing Apples-to-Apples, I would describe it with the cards: Pinterest, Time Traveler’s Wife, and maybe Yoga Pants, but only if my other cards were: Pretzel, Hall & Oates, and Juxtapose. And for a guy that reviews bank disclosures and writes summaries of his findings during the day, I might just benefit from a creative medium.

While super cool, NOT what I would use to describe "blogs" if playing Apples-to-Apples.

Like I said in my title, much of what I do appreciate of the blogosphere, I’ve learned from being married to a bloginist (definition: a reader and writer of blogs or someone who enjoys pictures with clear foregrounds and blurry backgrounds).

Above: Bloginists love this clear/blurry stuff. You may be wondering, 

"Where did you find this exotic flower?" I didn’t, it’s just some stupid flower, 

but this is what cameras do these days!

And with the exciting 4-month anniversary of the newly released Tara Gotfredson’s Blog 2.0, I decided I should become a little more involved. You could say I'm down with this idea... down like a rodeo clown, which I understand is an incredibly strong pact, considering rodeo clowns are a group not only known for their motley garb and humorous performances, but truly honored for there willingness to commit.

I hope this creates a new canvas for using my “bank examiner judgement”, which is my professional skill of criticizing things I don't like and maybe in the process I'll create a new “mormon daddy blog” craze. Oh, and don’t take that as a hint, Tara is not pregnant.

Oh, and what Tara has taught me of love is trust. Trust that is so strong she provides me carte blanche blog posting privileges!
