Blogger Mea Culpa: Throw a party, expect a blogger visit

Blogger called the residents of the Legal Pad last night and discovered that they were throwing a party with Dr. Doug as one of the guests. Blogger did not hesitate.

In the span of 30 minutes, he packed his bags, returned some DVD's, stopped at Starbucks, the gas station, and Taco Bell and was traveling swiftly down the 130 miles to Bakersfield.

The question arises: Is this sane behavior?

Blogger argues (as he always argues) that "yes," it is sane behavior. That fundamentally hanging out with friends is an important part of human development. In fact, studies have shown that people who have friends and spend time interacting with them are more well rounded, more knowledgeable human beings than their anti social counterparts. Furthermore, traveling 130 miles to a party expands the borders of ones life. Expanded borders create more opportunity to minister and play, to achieve and enjoy.

Additionally, spontaneity, no matter how you spell it, is a recognizable character trait of usual positive characteristics. Inflexibility creates obstacles to growth. To learn, one must look at things from a different angle. One must be able to run to the top of the mountain to see the world beyond, and sometime the opportunity to run to the top of that mountain cannot be put in a day planner.

In conclusion, last night's social gathering at the Legal Pad made Blogger a better man.

He rests his case.
