This is a bit unnerving–– my first blog post on the newly renovated julestompkins.com. Most blogs come and go as quickly as a junior high girlfriend. The typical scenario, from start to finish, transpires like this:

Jamal logs in to Facebook. Jamal clicks the link in Roger’s status. Jamal reads Roger’s Blogspot post. [The post is far too ambitious, sharing the deepest thought Roger has ever conceived, poorly communicated]. Intrigued, Jamal creates a Blogger profile. Jamal designs an orange and green blog, featuring Tahoma font and a clever title like “Until the Dawn” or “Longing Soul.” Jamal maintains his blog for a two months, totaling twelve posts–– four of which came in the first week.

By the time of he was composing his twelfth post, Jamal was admitting his guilt concerning his lack of blog maintenance.

Such a scenario is what I’ll be trying to avoid on this site.

Instead, here is what you can expect from my blog:

-An average of two posts every week

-Frequent mentions of Jesus, my fiance Bethany, my friends, my family, and IHOP

-Attempts at humor

-Grounded, honest writing

-Sarcasm

-Innovative, experimental writing style

Hopefully this will be an enjoyable experience for you and I both.

PS: Thank you Stephen Jordan for creating this site. You’re a great friend.
