I am the Tate: spring love

spring love

If I was a baby, I'd want to be this one.

Or if I was a boy baby, I'd want to be this one.

I got to see those babies not too long ago. Not to mention a whole lot of other people in the Lou. We all went home to celebrate Mary and Mel's retirement from Kirkwood Children's Chorale world. Good times. I love my Tate/Poshak/McGinty family. They're pretty great.

I love my Jayhawks. Mostly that they actually made it to the Sweet 16 no problem.

I love that I slept for 11 hours last night so I'm still not tired now. But I hate that I've been playing on the computer for over an hour and just now realized I haven't updated tateblog in a long time. My bad.

I love that I got to hang out with Angie Wysocki this weekend, sprained knee and all. That's right. She hurt herself skiing too.

Oh and I love that my arm works again!

I love March Madness. Probably too much.

I love that it's spring and I get to wear shorts almost every day.

I love that my junior high girls are finally opening up to me and that we can talk like real people.

I love watching Saved by the Bell with Sophie, especially since I get to observe what it's like for someone to see these episodes for the first time.

I love playing basketball in Mark's driveway again.

I love my job. As in the one I actually do, which is working at church.

There's a lot of other stuff I love, but that list will do for now. This verse sure seems appropriate though...

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. -James 1:17

I think I'm hungry.

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!
