I feel like Steph is stealing all my thunder. You know, I only have so many talents of which I can truly call my own. After marrying someone who trumps me in just about every skill, one’s pride takes quite the hit. Which, in humility, I must say is healthy – God opposes the proud right? Well, that’s the last thing I want, God’s opposition. And here I am.
I created the blog, thinking, “Certainly, I will be the majority contributor – the author extraordinaire.” Well that may have been true in the beginning – but those days have past.
Reading the classics is nothing new for her, she polished off War and Peace in a matter of weeks; she actually enjoyed it. I have yet to meet anyone who has both completed the novel and enjoyed it to boot. Here in Korea she took a break with two Grisham novels and then jumped back into the classics with Dickens’ Bleak House (all 997 pgs.) and is now in the midst of Tale of Two Cities.
Nothing wrong with saturating oneself with classic literature, but now she has this idea of incorporating the writing style and, what’s more, the vocabulary of said classics into her blogging. I can’t compete with that!
…I’m gonna have to start my own blog.

Ah yes, she does take naturally to almost any challenge. She has even claimed that she is a better frisbee player than me for years (despite constant dominance on the field). Either way, in tradition of eastern culture, I suggest you seek not to oppose her natural prowess but to fill the yang to her ying. If she discovers an innate ability to blog, then become her muse. Do not try to outdo her in writing but guide her on adventures worth writing about. Be the explorer, the conqueror and she will write about you.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I HAD to respond to Dave's comment. Laughed outloud, seriously.
ReplyDeleteDave, you'd fit right in with Eastern culture!
Welp, I'll just have to come out and live there for a year or something, won't I?
ReplyDeleteThey ARE in need of good doctors out here - Google "Korean fan death" - seriously, some Korean doctors actually still believe this urban legend.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't Higgins. Gosh! Or some other crazy friend of yours. Just think, who actually has the mad frisbee skills to beat your wife, is not commonly known as David, yet carries that title and might just be living in Korea for a year?
