I saw a pig fly today

So, I have been trying to ignore the whole “blogging” trend for years now.

It’s not because I am against blogging, I just don’t like to just jump on the trendy band wagon whenever something new comes around. Most of the time, I am able to stand my ground. This, however, is one of those things that I have realized will actually make me more efficient. Let me explain.

Every summer I travel to Panama City, Florida to spend the summer living on the beach and serving with some of the most amazing people I know at a camp called BigStuf. The past two summers I have been there as an intern. This summer, I will be on staff as the editor. Having a blog will allow me to keep people updated on how my summer is going without the need to tell each person individually that might care. My first summer at camp, I managed to shoot a sprinkler off the ceiling of the ballroom that we hold sessions in with a t-shirt cannon.

oops.

I have told that story more times than I can remember because I did’t have a journaling tool at the moment that all of you could keep up with. Well, that is fixed now.

Don’t expect too many updates before June. Our first camp of the summer starts on June 1st, and I am sure I will have plenty to tell you about by then.

I also plan on using this blog as a tool to talk about some of the projects I am working on. I have had questions in the past about what kind of creative process I go through when I am coming up with a new video idea. I don’t really think I have one, but I will humor my readers and lay it out for you. I am going to warn you, it isn’t really that groundbreaking. More on that later.

So in summary expect a wide variety of posts from me. Everything from me being disgruntled about how technology seems to always work against me when I need it the most to my daily personal life.

This could get a little out of control.
