Jack & Jill Put Up A Blog

Here’s what led us to onramp the InforMEtion Superhighway.

Everybody else’s blogs got all up in our faces. “Blog” this… “blog” that. Blah, blah, blog. How about blahg? That’s what all this inforMEtion seems to be at times. We wanted a way to document our life’s goings on. Not so much day to day what-we-did lists, but what’s crossing our minds at what points in time. Also, we, or at least I, want to learn what the all the fuss is about. Blogging doesn’t seem to be going away. Seems a growing beast.

Clearly I don’t know too much about it. There are the blahgs that are about nothing but “Hey this is how I spent my time in uzbekisganza. See my hair is braided with shells!” Cool. It’s like an online scrapbook for friends and family. Fair enough. Then there are the blAHHHgs. Those blogs that make a positive impact on society with their in depth news gathering and reporting. The fact that someone’s blog has exposed this or that politician or brought light to this or that issue and bettered peoples lives. This amazes me. Truly power of people.

Then there are the really cool blogs that simply share great ideas and tips on life and living. They make this wide world seem like a little community. It’s like having some really smart neighbors from whom to learn.

I’m not sure where this puppy will wind up. Yet. I hope to learn a bit; have a laugh; lighten up; and drink some great wine through it all. And stop watching so much G’d damn TV.

Jack and Jill here. What is up?! We decided to start a blog to chronicle our lives and if we can manifest this into blog mania..(dun dun dun – in a low voice) we accept the wishes of the blog god’s.

Let’s dig in…

On what the fuh are WE doing, we are covering things we find ‘adventurous’ such as date night, marriage, couples, Disneyland, the “when are you having a baby?” incessant question, he says & she says, home improvement, DIY, first time landlords, camping, food, wine…on and on.

As far as the wine goes, don’t expect too much here. We are two people possessing the inability to collect adjectives to describe what we are tasting. Deep down, not too deep down, we want to be those people who exploit and pretentiously go on about their “palettes” – a word I learned to associate with wine tasting from the movie, Sideways.

Side note: Sideways, the movie that is…is one of our favorite movies and we will even admit to have sat down with the script, wine (duh) and aged cheeses to really dig in.

With that bit of info, isn’t it nice how this is flowing to the next thing, you will notice we are also into entertainment – movies, scripts, TV and then music and the like…this will be in the what the fuh are THEY doing, which also consists of environmental issues, maybe some politics. Also, we live in the mecca of it all, Los Angeles and are pursing the industry – hence the pseudo names – Jack and Jill – cause you never know. Who knows maybe you have seen us on TV, Movies or listen to us on the radio…or not:)

Then there is Spot. He has his own page – what the fuh is SPOT doing…he is a sweet, annoyingly grumpy, odd 2 year old yellow Labrador retriever who makes frequent visits to the vet and is afraid of flies…this is not, in any way, an exaggeration.

I think this does it for the introduction. Our mission: to have fun and drink some cheap yet yummy wine…
