Gee! It has been a year since I opened my account here and I have only posted one blog. I think perhaps I have been a LOT lax LOL. What can I say? Life and Facebook have been taking up most of my free time with the rest going to sleeping.
Let's see, where to begin. The last year has been full of ups and downs. Finances have been awful, like for most people here in the good old USA. Those number crunchers in DC aren't fooling me, the economy isn't getting any better, the housing market is still glutted with unsellable homes and they continue to build more, unemployment isn't down because they aren't counting those who have run out of unemployment benefits and still haven't found jobs, our country STILL does not have a balanced budget while I don't even have enough money to MAKE a budget. But enough about those bozos in DC! They just make me want to rant!
I only had one resolution for this year. ABC cancelled 'One Life to Live' and replaced it with a show called 'The Revolution'. My resolution was to boycott that time segment on ABC and I have done spectacularly well in up holding it! I'd never seen 'The Talk' before but I find it highly entertaining! So Yay me! LOL SyFy has a new show called 'Lost Girl' I really enjoy. "Being Human' I also enjoy but since hubby controls the remote he watches 'Alcatraz' during that time :S.
I started editing a story I wrote between 1997 and 2001. There are a lot of real names in it that have to be replaced. I just don't feel like paying Gene Simmons for using his name LMAO! Almost done with the first 100 pages and then I can send it to my beta readers. Unfortunately though a new story is working it's way into my consciousness.
This new story is weird in that I am dreaming it. In first person no less! Kind of weird dreaming as a man, a dark, twisted multiple personalities man. Scares the begeebies out of me at times. Maybe this is what it is like for The Man, Stephen King, when one of his scared-awake-all-night stories evolves. I will see where it takes me!
Poetry is making a come back for me too. Not anything I feel like sharing right now. Mostly introspection stuff about my past. Some of it pure acid and some of it just randomness that only would make sense to me. But if something good comes out I will post it here.
So I am still around. I am going to make a concentrated effort to be here more often. I have many things I would like to put out here and see what kind of responses everyone else has about them. As long as we all remain civil though. I don't tolerate down right attacking someone else on my pages. But for now I am going to sign off and go see what's for dinner tonight. Till the next time, remember to smile even though you feel like screaming, it keeps people wondering exactly what you are up to!
Welcome back!! Will you be posting bits of the story here? I agree about the economy? I mean... who do they think they are fooling? All you have to do is look at all the abandoned strip mall storefronts or all the people working at Kroger with me with useless degrees and unpaid school loans (raises hand).
ReplyDeleteI have a bit of a dream posted in my notes on FB. Dark And Twisted Deeps I think I called it. Some of the stuff in these dreams scares the hell out of me!
ReplyDeleteI know a few people who graduated last year with huge student loan debt and can't get jobs in their fields. They are working minimum wage jobs and having to move back in with their parents or have three or more roommates in two bedroom apartments just to survive. We were looking at moving to Enid and our ex-roommate from down there was going to come up and live with us, But he just bought a house down there so we are stuck here :(.
