I♥Blogs.

I really hate having my blog linked up with my FB. I want to have a blog to write, be random and not feel censored, but not like I’m going to &*%# like a sailor or something. Remember blogs? A slower place, BC /FB days. I really like to read strangers blogs, such talent!, I wish I could write like some of them. This one lady, I read an entire year worth of her blogs, I am not sure why. She was working toward getting her doctorate, then she got it and got a job, she had nice hardwood floors in her house. She was an academic type. Not pretty, or maybe just not photogenic, Kind of chubby too, but she was somehow appealing, in an, I have a lots of neurotransmitters, so who cares what I look like any way. I really remember these blogs I read, one time I read like 15 people in this family, they all seemed so squeaky clean, white, nice, upper middle class, I was thinking, these people all have this squeaky clean quality but somehow are missing the mark. Them I figured it out! They were all Mormons! No offence random Mormon who might stumble on my blog, but you got to admit the Mormons got the mild toast thing down pretty well. Sometimes I comment on these blogs, one time, ok this is embarrassing, there was this handsome 30‘s something single Christian guy with a blog, he long forgot about, I left a comment. Then I went to my blog and made sure my profile picture was a rare cute one. Sometimes I think, man if I was married id never want my spouse to see me like this, I’m beat by the ugly stick! Then sometimes I thing, really id like someone who actually is not shallow, and can see past my imperfections, then I think, dude, that is a lot to ask. Ok so sometimes my inner 14 year old girl sits on the throne. Some blogs are sad, like the ones about people who have had sick or disabled children, or the teenagers who are narcissistic and self destructive. I am board to tears over then we are just 30 and look at our cute kids and fantastic house and my great husband….blah blah gag me blah. How can your own mother even stay awake?? Ok I know that is mean. I read this one blog about this American who lives in Japan. That was interesting. I read this super long blog testimony about this OR RN and how she came to the lord. Or this blog about this American right out of college living in Africa, funny, she said in her blog, that it’s so frustrating the way Africans do things, and you just have to learn to go with the flow. Years later my pastor said the same sort of thing about how things get done in Africa. I took that to mean Americans have a formula for everything, a schedule, a way of doing things. RTFM. And maybe possibly Africa is much more free spirited. I think my favorite random blog was this retired couple who traveled all over the world. That was fun! Omg I hate stay at home crafty blogs!!!! LOL I am so intimated by them. Like 1. You have a husband who loves you enough you get to stay home. 2. You have money to buy crafts. 3. You have some sort of talent, I will never have, and quite possible never want. I will never be in the club and will always wish I was. I know that is mean and bitter, I am working on it. Some blog are more like photo journals, I like them especially if they give some details as to what I am looking at. Oh lord not the vegan blog, omg no, I really don’t want to be a slave to food anymore then already am. Anyway, this is my new and improved blog entry FB free. Just to sit alone is cyber space, keeping the lost socks company.

Wow, I LOVE this post! Maria, you are so inspiring and you are my bff and that is a privilege. I have a post similar to this, well not really similar, just on the same topic on my blog. It's not written as well as this. Go look at my blog if you didn't already.
