WHY MY GRAMMAR SUCKS
Ok not going to go into a long life story because well its a long long story. I will explain really quickly my spelling is not so great. I started school at 13 after growing up on a farm and well at age 13 I could not read or write. That being said I am pretty much up to par with most others living and breathing in the real world but let's just say my grammar is not the best.
WHY I DECIDED TO WRITE A BLOG
I have been on the most amazing journey over the last 4 years. I wish I started this years ago. The stories I could tell. However I did not and so I must start now so at least I can capture some of my crazy adventures.
THE QUICK STORY OF MEETIN.ORG
I will have to write a longer story about MEETin.org but in order to understand allot of my adventures you would have to understand this crazy experiment called MEETin.org. The quick of it was I moved to DC from San Fran about 13 years ago. I moved to DC to escape a bad break up with my high school sweetheart. Let just say she found another guy why we were dating. Anyways back to MEETin I was like many who move looking to make some new friends and found it very hard to do so in the DC area. I knew there were many people like me out their but had no idea how to find them. I got involved in some yahoo groups some of them were very specific on where you had to come from in order to join others were more like posting boards where you may have little chance of meeting someone. I decided to start my own with a very simple rules set. If you posted an event you had to be there. This would cut out all of the people who were trying to promote some event but really had no intention on helping people make friends. Also all events had to be from ones heart in other words you can not profit from it. This means people will make friends with out the idea of profiting from it. So I set out to start a yahoo group called MEETinDC. This yahoo group blew up. I mean we had parties with hundreds of people we had happy hours with hundreds of people. Apparently there were many people in this city just like me. At this point I started 16 other yahoo groups including major cities like San Fran, LA, New York, Seattle , Portland and many more. This also grew and grew so much I had to build a site to bring all of these cities together. So I set out to build a site un-like any other site and MEETin.org was born. We call this a social experiment back then and I would still call it this today. I will refer to this experiment allot through out this blog. Some day I will have to write a book about this but ya with my writing its not likely lol.
