About Yupness? (And Me)

Welcome to Yupness?.  This is the place where I freely express my views on whatever goes on in my life as a Patriotic, Christian, American male.  My name is Camden.  (I choose to withhold my last name and any other personal information about me, (for personal and other reasons), other than my email addresses, and IM information; so visitors can leave their comments and opinions about what they might read on my blog, since I don't use any of those complicated trackbacks, WordPress, or any of this other complicated mess found on most other blogs).  (I don't even use a complicated HTML editor to compose this).  I am the man behind this random venting of my life's musings.  I enjoy blogging, because it allows me to exercise my First Amendment right to express myself freely when it comes to my random opinions, gripes, and musings concerning life, faith, and myself; and how it all fits in to whatever is going on in the world around me, and on the news.  I recommend you bookmark the home page in your browser's "favorites", because you never know what you might read that might be of current and/or future interest.  You may be wondering just how I came up with the title of "Yupness?".  For me, it's just one of those general, all-purpose buzzwords that goes with just about anything; and basically means that I am in agreement with you or whatever is going on; or it might mean just a simple "Yes" in my own special way.  A lot of my family and friends are still trying to figure that out.  

Now, a lot of the newer readers to my blog may be wondering why I use such high color contrasts when designing the pages that make up Yupness?.  The answer is very simple...  I don't see all that well.  In fact, I am sitting about four inches from my computer screen, which is probably close enough to absorb most of the radiation from the monitor.  I need something that is easy for me to see when I am designing and/or updating my blog.  In addition to my visual challenges, I also have cerebral palsy (CP).  Think of the well known evangelist David Ring.  He also has CP, just like me.  Because of CP, I don't have good use of my arms, hands, and most importantly, my legs.  Therefore, my hands have a tendency to shake and tremor when I am doing complex tasks (like writing or assembling model airplanes; which have to be kept rather simple); and I also have trouble walking because of a deformity in my right foot that causes it to turn inward (think of the curve in the letter "C", only turn the letter around backwards), and thus makes me often walk on the outside.  That's very uncomfortable for me, therefore, I have to wear a plastic brace in order to keep it as straight as possible, which helps me walk better.  I also have a hearing and a speech disability; so I don't hear very well out of my left ear, and often will use a battery powered amplifier, (which actually amplifies both left and right ears).  I have a speech disability, so I tend to stutter, mainly when I am nervous and/or scared.  

I not only enjoy blogging, but I play loads of computer and console games, both new and old.  I stick mainly to the softer side of gaming, (sports, racing, card/board/table games, etc.), since most of the newer games that are on the shelf now are full of violence, profanity, and/or sexual innuendos), most of which turn my stomach inside out.  Not to mention that I have a wide taste for music, which includes most anything Christian (including Southern Gospel, Christian Rock and Christian Rap), some country, bluegrass, and even some opera and classical music.  My taste for TV is sort of the same, though without cable or satellite, my choices are limited mainly to sitcoms, detective and forensic cop shows (like Law and Order, and CSI), and the older shows, like Baywatch, Knight Rider, and Quincy M.E.  Awesome shows, if you ask me.  

Now, enough about me...  I'm not the one that really deserves all of the credit for this blog.  If it wasn't for the blessings of God; and His providing me a working computer, along with a decent connection to the Internet, as well as the training needed to proficiently use a computer (though I leave the inside guts to professionals), I wouldn't be blogging today.  And without Him in my life as my Savior and my Heavenly Father, I would not only not be alive, physically, I would not be alive spiritually.  It is through Him and Him alone that a Christian can be saved and know what it really is to be free and have victory in Jesus!  (That's one of my favorite hymns to sing in church).

If you wish to contact me concerning my blog; (maybe you have a complaint to make, or just want to say "Hey" and comment on something you may have read on the home page), just scroll down the home page to where it says "Contact Me".  There you will find all of the information you need to reach me and either share your comment for posting consideration; or just to tell me that you like what you see on the website.  (And, for those of you that attend church with me, I am now set up on the Facebook service).  Thanks & Muchas Gracias!  (I don't speak that much Spanish, by the way...  Neither do I Parlez Vous Francais).  (But I do enjoy good, greasy French Fries and a big, fat double cheeseburger).  (Smile).
