TGFB (Thank Goodness for Bloggers)
I have about 13 weeks to get the dissertation finished and ready to defend, so if I'm more scattered than normal, I'm ready with a bevy of excuses why.
After looking through my most recent posts, I noticed a certain turn toward the oh-so-serious (justifiably) but thought I would end this work week with a bit of a giggle.
A few things I have learned in my few months of blogging:
1. There's lots of people who share my world view. Cool people. Strong people. Smart people.
2. People from all over the world are interested in the blogosphere. I have folks visit regularly from Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria, Greece, Finland, Egypt. Why not leave a comment, you fellow citizens of the world? I, for one, would love a comment about the state of world affairs from someone other than Wolf Blitzer, Brian Williams, Bill O'Reilly (*gag*) , and Chris Matthews. Or even a funny story if you don't want to talk geo-politics. A hi even.
3. There are some tremendous blogs out there. I love looking into the vast netscape and seeing the variety of approaches people take to make their blog THEIR blog. Some have themes, some are self-promoting, some are random (like this one, I think). What's exciting to me is the outpouring of SELF that is happening online. Perhaps we may better know ourselves and each other in this vast web experiment.
4. Committing to a blog is not as hard as I thought it would be. I have three others that I started years ago (that's why my profile member date is so old) that just didn't do it for me. In lots of ways, I am still finding my cyber voice. But, one thing I can guarantee is that the information I present here is researched and verified. And honest, no matter how hard it may be.
5. Last, but not least, laughter from a computer screen (while not a great as having a good belly acher with someone in the same room) is great for the soul.
To all my e-pals, e-friends, e-peeps.
Thanks for stopping by and reading my little wisps of thought.
How's this for a funny? (Pay no attention to the price of gas *sob*)
I wonder what the permission slip for this field trip looked like?
Words for today: If you know a good joke, tell it to a stranger today. That simple act of sharing a laugh could change someone's life.
Here's mine: Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
Happy Friday all
Random PS: Is it just me, or is Marie Osmond starting to look more and more like a hooker?
