If I were you I wouldn’t read my blog. There are so many blogs more worth reading at the moment. So many more. What are you still doing here?
More specifically, if I read my blog this week for the first time I wouldn’t read my blog probably ever again. Ever. Because this week I’ve been unusually lame.
By “lame” I mean I’m not really thinking or doing anything all that exciting. Nothing all that exciting to read about, that is. It’s important stuff but very very lame to read about. Oh, there was a marginally blog-worthy moment yesterday when I saved a cute widdle bunny from a cat and kept him in a Sprite box and then released him into the field behind our new Super Target, which, as it turns out, is pretty super for having a field into which you can release bunnies conveniently located right behind it like that. Slushies, $12 Mossimo shirts and a field fit for bunnies – in one place – now that’s super.
Anyway, besides the bunny Super Target thing, not much worth writing about. I read and sent e-mails! And talked on the phone! And been to the post office! And eaten three meals daily! This morning I consumed cereal! With raisins in it!
But tomorrow my week hangs a right into Excitement. Bush and I are heading to the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill and staying at Tracy‘s place (She’s not there, by the way. Awkward.)
So. Yep. North Carolina. Tomorrow. Exciting stuff. Me. And Bush. In North Carolina. Together. Doin’ stuff. In North Carolina. Me and Bush. Tomorrow. Uh huh.
Why do you read this blog again?
Terrace Crawford says:
Shaun, I feel the same way about my blog sometimes but I’ll keep stopping by – for sure.
Dreamer says:
Awww… bunnies! Ewww… rasins! I have a blog, it has no point. Well, unless you call the point of it to have no point… wow, it’s really late, and I’m really exhausted and confused. I think I’ll stop typing now…
Cali Amy says:
force of habit.

This is why I read your blog:

I started reading your blog just before your trip to Uganda. Your post “home wrecked” written in February was what put you into my google reader feed.
I read, because I am passionate about where the church fits in releasing all people from poverty.
Hope your weekend at UNC is great. I am moving from Indiana to North Carolina this weekend to take a position on staff at Crosspointe Church, to mobilize people to work with the poor.
Safe Travels.
April says:
Because every once and a while you do post something profound that rocks my comfort zone!! I too will keeping checking back!
Shawn says:
Hey Shaun, You need to leave Tracy a note or two in her drawers…lol. Just kidding. Tracy is very sweet, and I enjoy getting to sing praise songs on stage with her. I’m also thankful that she brought you to St. Mark’s a couple times to share song and worship time with us. I will be praying that you touch some lives in Chapel Hill and also praying that many kids get sponsored while you are in town! Keep up the mission Shaun! It’s all worth it in the end….even when you think you have a boring blog this week…lol..It’s all good!
Tracy says:
I am pretty sure if you actually returned emails, that’s exciting!!!!
Cynthia says:
It’s hands down the best mediocre reading out there!
……and hurray for the wildlife rescue!!!
anne jackson says:
and this is why i need glasses. i totally thought that was a bag of poo and not a bag of bunnies. and i kept thinking, shaun, your blog is not a bag of poo. but i get it now. wow.
jon says:
i read…because musicians tend to think alike and understand eachother, no matter how different they may be…non-musicians are scared by this…especially pastors!
i do like the use of “lame” today…i’m still holding out hope that you’ll be lame on 4/20…HA!
Zach Nielsen says:
Is that poop in a sack? Just wondering.
Janel says:
I read you blog because it makes me think and takes me out of my comfort zone. Which doesn’t seem like a good place to want to be- out of your comfort zone. But, for some reason, I like to go there.
I am working the Compassion booth tonight at UNC. Very excited here in NC about that! See you there.
Aims says:
Why do I read your blog? It’s something to do. Much more entertaining to read than a boring Organization and Administration book. Shlog’s pretty darn funny at times, makes me think at other times…Okay honestly it sounds weird but I think it’s because I care about you. I don’t know why I care about you but I do I think that’s why I read Shlog. Not to mention it’s just plain fun to wonder around in your head.
shaunfan says:
Shaun, if it helps I didn’t even know about any of those blogs you link to in your post until I started reading your blog almost 2 years ago, which for me is when blogs were invented for all I know. I think your blog is viral and spawns creativity but nothing beats the original. I’ll dig way back and show you when I got hooked.

This hotel is down the street from me, by the way. Absolutely Hilarious!!
Your fan,

UNC-Chapel Hill – heaven…
alexsandra says:
I’ve thought the same thing about my blog being very very lame…especially when I read other blogs that seem so much more interesting…like yours. Really. I’ve never ever had a bunny on my blog.
So that’s the reason I read your blog. It’s better than reading my blog.
cool dad says:
What kind of cereal? Did the post office have long lines?? Inquiring minds want to know!
I’ve had lame streaks and I’m thankful for readers who’ve stuck around.
I’m surprised to see that you’re going through what you consider a lame streak though. You usually write in advance, right? (i don’t, but i recall you saying that you had a post or posts in the can)
Susan says:
Why do I read? I could say that reading BooMama & Rocks in My Dryer made me do it (not that they personally know me and twisted my arm).
And why do I read any of your blogs? To stay connected to real people at ‘home’ who are honest, uplifting and challenge me to think about how I use the gifts He has given me. OH – and all of you have a great sense of humour! My husband and I saw you on the Gloria tour in DM several years ago – his first “Christian” concert. You were his favorite.
And we sponsored Eloisa in Mexico that night!
Linda Sue says:
Ain’tnolameinyourgame. (obviously I’ve been reading ‘los Whittaker too much). I read your blog because I started reading it via the Uganda Bloggers connection, then stayed with it because your life is so TOTALLY different from mine – but we both love Compassion International and Jesus the Christ. Sounds totally dumb when I write it out – but I’m grateful to know there are others out there working on through from completely different starting points toward our eternal home.

You left out the “t” in the link to Brant Hansen’s page, so it doesn’t go to his page. Just thought I’d let you know.
