Well isn't this an interesting thing I have done. I am posting all, well some, of my thoughts in a public forum for everyone to read. Sounds a little, umm, public... Anyway, some good friends have asked me to do this apparently so they can laugh at me more than they already do. Take last night for example. Now, it was not till earlier this year that I realized I had an apparent "lisp". My friends have all known I have had it and they have always made me say stupid stuff and then laughed about it, but I never put it together. Anne, being the soft spoken person that she is, just starts making fun of "the lisp" on day as a bunch of us are on the way back from some mall outing. Once Loren had fest up to knowing I have had it all this time, both Anne and Loren think it is some new entertainment to make fun of my lisp at every opportunity that rears its ugly head. So, back to last night... Loren and Anne are watching the Miami University Marching Band video, a video of all sorts of footage shot all through out the year. Apparently I am featured several times in the video, and one occasion I can actually be heard. Naturally, the two of them pick out this "lisp" and laugh so hard at it that they can not hear the video, and when I ask them what I was talking about on the video that night, neither can tell me. All they tell me is that they could not hear the movie over their own laughter. Thank you Anne and Loren for crushing my fragile self-esteem and giving me a complex. I suppose that's what friends are for. On a side note, I really do like both Anne and Loren despite what any blog entries might imply. Anne, Loren, I heart you guys.

That's all for right now, tune in later to see if I can do anything else as funny as simply talking. This is the first installment of Chad: Just livin' the dream.
