The Eternal Debate

It's pretty safe to say that the LiveJournal vs. Blogger debate has a pretty clear answer in my mind. There are only a couple of people's journals I read. Some are friends that live near me that I don't talk to nearly enough so it's the only way I know what's going on in their lives (or at least what they tell me of it). And some are people I've never met but consider friends. A few of the journals I've read have removed me from the friends list. Which is pretty standard considering my updates were fairly infrequent.

So, I killed the LJ a week (has it even been a week?) ago and just reactivated it today. Why? Sheer laziness. I still read a few of the journals and rather than bookmark 3 or 4 different pages, I figured if I kept my LJ active, dropped a load every now and then, I could still keep these people on the friends page and easily read about their exploits.

But I have seriously just lost interest in the whole LiveJournal scene (other than the 3 journals I read). I'm not going to extol the virtues of Blogger anymore on these pages, the frequency of updates states my preference.

I don't really know what the hell the point of this is. No, really I don't.

So, carry on (my wayward son?)

you haven't entertained us with any thrifting expeditions lately. I miss the forays into the illustrious world of, well, used stuff. :)

I may have to dig into the archives.

Marriage Material??

I had a friend call me today, fuming. I consider myself a good listener on most days. Considering that I was out of town on a work trip and doing absolutely nothing in my hotel room, my listening game was on-point.

She recounted the exchange that sent her off. I will spare you some of the more personal details, but the gist was, at one point, the dude-bro she was talking to flat out told her that she wasn’t marriage material.

Torn between wanting to be a supportive friend and being completely gobsmacked, I felt her frustration. No. That’s not quite right. I didn’t feel the same frustration she felt. I’m approaching what some consider middle age. I’m white. I’m primarily interested in women. Oh, and I have a penis. So...no, I can never truly feel the same frustration she was feeling. Or an anger that comes from the same place her anger came from. No matter how in touch I am witn my feminine side (whatever the fuck that actually means).

Instead, the frustration and anger I was feeling w…

Out of Sorts

Not sure what my deal is today. I got up this morning to go for a walk and it was spitting rain, but no biggie. My thriftstore Nikes were kind of hurting my feet, so that didn't help. But it felt good to go for the walk (other than the hurting feet). And it's all going well...and then I get into work and just turn into PMS-Man.  I don't know what my deal is. I just feel bitchy this morning and I'm not sure why. So..um. Yeah. That's all I got.

Post Con-Fusion

It's 5:40 AM on a Wednesday. I have been up for an hour. I have an outline for a work in progress that I intended to work on this morning. I was in the middle of a chapter that I started at lunch and had every intention of continuing this morning. But, much like me, it seems the characters wanted to sleep in today. They wanted to just hunker under the covers as the rain danced its hypnotic melody on my roof. The swoosh swoosh swoosh of the ceiling fan keeping time with the rest of the nocturnal orchestra.

So, I shifted gears. I am taking  a course on getting more words on the page. Something that I want to do need to do if I am to get all of these books that are floating around in my head out in to the world. It's not so much that I think the whole world will love and adore them, although I certainly hope that is the case. No, it's more the fact that it's getting crowded up there. I need to get these words on the page for my own sanity as much as anything else.

Sanity,…
