To Blog or Not to Blog...That is the Question

…And a funny question at that.

​I recently read that before you start an official blog, you need to introduce it.  The WHY!  So a few posts into this process, here's my take on why I started this blog...

What could I say that anyone else would care to read about; be entertained by; laugh at; shake their head in disbelief at; or bother to continue reading week after week?  I am not remotely interesting.   I'm a regular Washington, DC, area desk jockey...a Federal employee with a side gig teaching yoga. 

Boring, square, dorky, and maybe even a little dull, right?  Yes, I just described myself as dull...as little thought bubbles of my misspent youth gleefully dance in my head.

I mean, after all, my name is not Miley Cyrus.  I'm not a media darling.  I don’t have a spray tan (I’ve had them and they are sticky!), a bad 80's haircut (what's up with Miley's hair these days?  I get that era is cool again but ppppplease not the hair!) and I definitely don’t know how to twerk (even though she hasn't done that recently, we all know her extraordinary ability at it.).

So since this is a yoga blog and speaking of twerking--like that seque--I substitute instructed for an early morning class once (at the height of the twerking craze).  Now combine that with having a head cold...and you can see where this is leading.  My abilities to think on my feet were limited and my words mighty jumbled.  I actually told a student to correct the alignment of his knee by:

“Since you don’t want to twerk your knee and hurt yourself—I mean tweak”.

Ohhh Nooo-Did I really say that!!???

Thankfully, my one lone student in the class-a man-just smiled and laughed it off.  I never received a termination letter from the gym for sexual harassment so I assumed all was well.   

Now that we have covered spray tans, tweaked knees, and mind fog, let’s see if I can write an interesting blog about yoga and all the awesome individuals, ideas, and ponderings related to yoga…with a little smattering of my silly musings.

SOOO…step right up and feast your eyes on a most incredible and marvelous wonder that will astound and amaze you with its spectacular feats of peril and mischief!!
