BLOG! Hooah! What is it Good for? Absolutely Nothing. Say it Again!
I had a lazily busy weekend, if that makes sense. We got together with lots of people, but did it all within the confines of our own homes so we didn’t have to really go anywhere. Friday night Randy came over and we watched DVD’s. Saturday we did a bit of shopping. Saturday night we had Ben and Sandy over (to his place) and we BBQ’d dinner, played games (Pictionary, Aggressive Uno, Monkey Ball) and had birthday cupcakes. And Sunday we got together with Marin, Roger, Chris, Pete, and Jeff for dinner, conversation and more birthday cake.
All in all, a good weekend.
And I didn’t even complain in this blog! But since you brought it up…..
(oh wait, I brought it up. Never mind)
Anyway, on Sunday night some of the guests were readers of my blog. And some light-hearted ribbing went on about how I piss and moan about my iPod. A lot. I admit it – I’m guilty. Another person commented about my recent post about anti-discrimination laws (although that post wasn’t so much complaining as it was ranting or, worse, rambling).
I started to wonder if I bitch too much on here. But then I started wondering why I blog in the first place. I mean, if I didn’t rant about politics, technology, people, religion, and, generally, societies ills, what else would there be to blog about? I mean, I don’t intend for this blog to have a completely misanthropic tone every day. And I do hope that it comes off as sarcasm more often than not. For example, I’m not completely helpless with the iPod. I’m just lazy and don’t want to have to research solutions. And when I kvetch about politics, I often do it to play devil’s advocate to see if somebody can comment and sway my opinions in any way (it’s been known to happen).
Anyway, I’ll try to lighten things up around here. How’s this for a start?
You can’t go wrong with cute puppies (even if the look dead).

Hey Hon, Please keep blogging about all the things that race through your mind. By getting them out in this forum at least you will have gotten some of your frustration out before we get togther! You know how you like to fill me in on all that bothers you in the first 10 mins each day! 🙂 Not that theres anything wrong with that but 10 mins vs say hours of ranting is much better. keep on blogging! Let the masses read, let them eat cheese!
I agree with Randy. Isn’t the point of blogs that they are YOUR space? You do what you need to do in order to make you happy with them — all others can “Va Napoli!”
I agree with Randy. Isn’t the point of your blog is that it’s YOUR space? You do what you need to do in order to make you happy with what you post — anyone who criticizes you can “Va Napoli!”

Hmm. Interesting — I’ve never seen this happen before — all my response along with all their edits. Well, you get to see how my mind works (and the 3rd response really is the best written of the 3). LOL
I agree with Randy.
Your blog is fun and thought provoking.
besides, dead puppies are no fun.
They don’t walk and they don’t run.
They don’t come when they are called. dead puppies don’t do much at all.
(Dr. demento….circa 1980s)
I’ve not thought about Dr. Demento in ages! Ah, the 80’s.
Thanks for the flashback!
Guy. Dead puppies?
Go back to yapping about your ipod! LOL 😉
