The Point Is That There Is No Point

So my blog is a daily diary about absolutely nothing except things that are going on in my life. I shared this blog with a friend and she told me that my blog will never succeed and that it was pointless since you could not bucket it into a theme like automotive blog, sports blog, entertainment news blog, etc. So here is what I am going to do…I have never been able to reach down and touch my toes - I have terrible flexibility. Always have, always will…until today. Today I kick off my quest to not only stretch out my legs, quads, and hammys - but to actually bend at the waist, keep my legs straight, and put my palms on the floor. That is my goal and this is the theme of my blog - stretching...a daily posting on reaching down to the center of earth - palms first.

Now, I will keep writing these entertaining tid bits - but each entry will end with a posting to you, the reader, on how I am doing with achieving my goal of putting my palms flat on the floor. This posting will be entitled "PTFP" - that's Palm To Floor Posting and it will then provide you with a measurement. This measurement will be in inches at first, and will describe just how far away I am from getting my fingers to the floor. As my fingers begin to reach the floor, I will then begin providing you with a PTFP in percentage format. This percentage is equal to the percent of my entire hand that is on the floor.

So let's recap:

  1. I was accused of having a stupid blog about nothing
  2. My blog is now going to be about my quest to put my palms to the floor and will serve as a guide for others to increase their flexibility
  3. Postings each day will contain an entry on PTFP
    A. These postings will be in the form of inches and will describe how far away from the floor my fingertips are.
    B. Then as I progress and my fingers begin touching the floor these postings will be in the form of a percent that represents the percentage of my hand that is flat on the floor

    Without any further ado, let's put up today's PTFP.

    PTFP: Did not stretch today. Keep checking back for daily PTFP.
