I am the Tate: belly flops hurt

belly flops hurt

Last night at camp I participated in the belly flop contest.

Bad idea.

I did this once last year, and I did pretty well. I made it into the top three. And since I loved my campers so much this week, I decided to enter the contest to entertain them, even remembering the pain.

This year was much worse. Not only was it a crappy belly flop, but my back bent in such a way that....well it just shouldn't bend like that. And I am sore now, to say the least. But whatever, it's fine, I'm still alive.

This week was incredible by the way. My campers were awesome, and God really showed up in big ways and was answering prayers like whoa and I loved it. God is so good.

Listen I don't know what else to say write now because I've been sitting at the computer for too long. Sorry tateblog kind-of sucks these days, but give me a break, I'm constantly exhausted. But I get to see Maggles tomorrow I think!! Yes.

Welp, see ya later.

EDIT: I just discovered this hottie picture and decided it needs to be in the blog...

Unreal. Is that a KU bookstore ad? She is attractive. Seriously. And soon to be wedded. Just a couple more months...

the story of the tateblog

In the spring semester of 2005 at KU, I took an online journalism class. Our job in the class was to manage, publish and create the University Daily Kansan web site in only its first or second semester of existence. One of the requirements was that we write in a blog twice a week about what we were learning and accomplishing in class. In its early stages, the tateblog gained attention from original fans Justin Hume and Emily Ashcraft, who for some reason enjoyed reading about my experiences.

After the class was over, I thought tateblog would die. But the fans demanded more. Tateblog started up again in September 2005. From there it grew into quite a phenomenon, until after a year or so tateblogs became less consistent (and arguably less exciting). I even almost decided to call it quits at one point, but I just can't do it. Tateblog must live on.

My life is in a pretty different place nowadays. After taking a two year break from blogging, most likely because in the midst of seminary I had no desire to write anything else, I think I might come back to my old blogging roots. Maybe not so much about weird stuff my friends do, but probably just some thoughts I have on life. So, read it if you like it!
