To Blog, or Not to Blog........

I have not been here to write in so long, I think I have lost my touch. Of course, I know I have lost my mind and I HAVEN'T lost any weight. But, I digress.

I have always wanted this blog to be more than just a regurgitation of my daily life. I wanted it to read more like a witty newspaper column, full of my insights and observations. I want to entertain my readers, and make them want to come back and see what I have chosen to comment on next. Satire and cynicism being forefront in most of my works.

Today, I am not sure what to write about. The name of my blog is Rants, Raves and Recitations. I have blogged a lot of rants, but really no raves or recitations. I think it is time.

Why is it that raves are not nearly as interesting as rants? Is it because no one really wants to hear about the good things? Everyone wants to hear the dirt, the gossip, the misfortune? It seems to be that way. As for a recitation........let me think. OH YES! I have just thought of one!

While at my mom's place this past weekend, we were looking through some old papers. I came across a sign that my mom used to have posted on her refridgerator as I was growing up. Perhaps my reciting it now will give you a little insight into why I am the way I am!

STRESS
That confusion that is created
when the mind overrides the body's desire
to choke the living shit out of some
asshole who really needs it!
