My brother's blog

JennaGlatzer · Jul 9, 2006

A while back, I talked about how Paul told me he wanted to be a writer, and I was looking for ideas for how to encourage him. You guys made the smart suggestion that he could have a blog. It's taken a while to get started, but he's made his first post. Stop by and say "hi" in his comments if you get a chance.

I totally misread the link and thought it said "EvilPaul" blogspot. Boy, I thought he was going to become a soul brother.

LOVE the socks. Must have some.

DamaNegra · Jul 9, 2006

OMG he's so strong!!!!!!!! I'm seriously impressed at the weight he's lifting in the picture!!! I am buying green socks if they're the key to his power!!

moth · Jul 9, 2006

Ditto, I am so buying green socks.

Thanks for the heads-up to his site, Jenna. Unfortunately I can't leave comments since I have no blogger account and don't really plan to have one...but maybe someday, who knows.

Anyway, a big high five to your brother! :Thumbs:

Raiyah · Jul 9, 2006

I'm buying green socks too!

Christine N. · Jul 9, 2006

D'ya think the socks have the same effect on writing?? I have to go shopping tomorrow and if it'll help get my butt writing like I used to, I'll hunt down those socks if it takes all day.

I don't think that will be necessary. Just soak a pair of white socks in lime-green coolaid and that should do the trick.

I LOVE green, so I love green socks. I have a pair of around-the-house fuzzy lime-green socks. Green socks rock! :e2woo:

P.S. Paul is a doll, Jenna.

And the joy of this is, if you start running down sometime in the early afternoon, you can suck on your socks for a pick-me-up.

I, too, will buy green socks. Only if they come in white, or black, however.

JennaGlatzer · Jul 10, 2006

You guys are so cool.

I wrote to Paul to tell him to look at his comments because a bunch of people had responded. This is what he wrote back to me last night:

"What i think you are right hon, 13teen people responded. Wow. That's my kind of people. I could feel love with with passion in side of them soo much. What i think like they are proud of me & They said nice comment on you hon. Being smart person you are. To me you are already smart person i feel love with like alway's. Love paul"

By the way, the green sock thing: the reason why he said that he got them at the mall or "maybe my aunt made them for me" is that for a while, we couldn't find green socks ANYWHERE. I mean, we went to all the local stores and I spent hours and hours scouring the Internet for these bright green socks. So my aunt wound up dying white socks for him. Then we finally found a "supplier." (I don't even remember where.)

That's how they announce him at these Special Olympics events-- Pauly "Green Socks" Glatzer.

awatkins · Jul 10, 2006

He's such a sweetheart, Jenna. And a real cutie pie, too!

eldragon · Jul 10, 2006

That's a nice blog.

Does he have internet access where he lives? Neither of the two nursing homes I volunteer at have internet access.

He writes well. "13teen" makes sense to me!

P.S........you'll have an easy time finding green socks if you go to a sports store or website that sells socks for teams that have to wear green - like "Fighting Irish."

JennaGlatzer · Jul 10, 2006

Hey Pam! Yep, he has Internet access. He lives with my parents. He works at the nursing home (in the cafeteria).

One of the wild things for us to see now is that Paul has learned to touch-type. Do you know how long it took me to do that?! He's good on the computer. Not very Internet-savvy, but good with e-mails and memory games and things.

Very cool, Jenna. Paul's lucky to have a sister like you.

I always figured Jenna was lucky to have a brother like Paul, but that might just be me...

My husband still hunt and pecks, but he does it pretty fast! However, it's so loud - God forbid you are trying to sleep in the house.

Needless to say, he has his own computer ; with a few broken keys on the keyboard.

SpookyWriter · Nov 15, 2006

Bump. So how is Paul doing lately?

JennaGlatzer · Nov 15, 2006

Hey, thanks for asking.

He's doing really well. He's on pins and needles waiting for the results of Dancing with the Stars tonight (he's rooting for Emmitt because he doesn't like it that Mario broke the rules earlier in the show).

He's trying to lose some weight for his next powerlifting event, is working on his first novel about a boy who gets bullied in school, and is looking forward to being an uncle.

He's been trying to prove to me that he'll be a great babysitter.

P.S. He loves getting comments on his blog... http://elvispaul.blogspot.com/
