Welcome!

***Note: A portion of this post discusses the name of my blog, which has actually changed since this original post***


Hey, everybody!

As some of you may know, I started a blog a few months back called 100 Things. If you haven't been there, you should check it out. Anyway, I had a specific goal on that blog and I reached that goal about a week ago. However, I wanted to keep blogging, so I decided to leave that blog as it is and start up a new one. And, voila. Uncle Bob's Bloggish Life.

I get the feeling that I should explain the name of this blog. First, the Uncle Bob part. Yes, I am an uncle, but my nieces and nephews don't call me Uncle Bob. Uncle Bob is a nickname that a couple of people in my ward here at BYU started using last summer. Like I said, there were only a couple people who ever really used it, and there's only one who uses it at all anymore, but for some reason it came to mind when I was thinking of a title. So, there you go. And even if they don't call me Uncle Bob, the uncle part does make me think of my nieces and nephews, who I absolutely love. So, I like that about it too.

Now the Bloggish Life part. Am I saying that my life resembles a blog? No. I'm not really all that sure what it means to have a life resembling a blog. Am I saying that everything about my life is something that somebody wants to read about on a blog? No. Trust me, there is a lot of stuff that you don't even want to hear about ("I sat at my desk today. Then I checked facebook. Then I was sleepy. The end.") Nope, my Bloggish Life refers to those moments of my life that I deem appropriate to appear on here. So, a good translation of the title could be "The relatively interesting moments from the life of Robert (who is occasionally referred to as Uncle Bob)."

Well, hopefully you were able to get through that little bit of nonsensical rambling and have decided to keep following my updates and whatnot on here. Enjoy!
