First off I would like to thank you for visiting my site. I hope that this blog will entertain, inform, and inspire those who read the posts within. I invite comments from anyone and everyone.
The title of this blog "A New Paracletes" is a double-entendre. For those of you who dont know what the heck that is, its a type of pun where a word has a double meaning.
Paraclete as it is spelled is a term used as a title for the Holy Spirit as a "mediator" or "one who intercedes". This title can be found in The Divine Praises, a prayer recited typically at the end of a holy hour or during benediction and reposition of the Blessed Sacrament.
A pair of cleats, quite obviously refers to the shoes commonly worn by athletes during competition. This, I thought, was a pretty neat way to incorporate my love of sports and my connection to them through my job as a collegiate athletic trainer.
The purpose of this blog is to share my thoughts on life, both serious and funny. For those who dont know me, I love laughing and making others laugh, so I will try to portray that through my writing. It will often include thoughts on matters of faith, including my upcoming wedding to my beautiful and wonderful fiance, Diana. She got "mad" at me when I told her I was starting this blog, so hopefully I can convince her to get into it once we get married.
Other ideas I had for this blog were having a weekly/monthly post on some aspect of athletic training, whether it be a description of the anatomy of a certain joint or the different aspects of certain injuries, just something that keeps these things in my head and helps me to learn more about them for my personal career growth. Also, I thought of sharing my finds in the realm of Christian/Catholic music. I am big into lesser known bands that produce awesome tracks, so I will be sharing some of those with you as well. Finally, I LOVE the Latin language. There is nothing better than singing Latin chants during Mass on Sunday, although it has been few and far between that I have had the joy of doing so. That being said, I will try to educate you alls on some Latin phrases that I find interesting and/or funny.
Wow thats a long first post. Especially considering it is 2:10am and I should be typing on my thesis. Dont tell anyone.
God bless you all

Welcome to blogging, Adam. I'm game for a few laughs, with some serious stuff about Latin and joints thrown for good measure. ;)
I always found that rewarding myself for progress on big writing projects with little things like internet surfing helped. I'm sure you can balance it all appropriately.
