Entry for January 07, 2007

A Challenge from Bear Answered,
and other stuff about me

Bear recently posted a challenge to those who choose, to post about why they blog. I have posted this in the past, but I will update the information, just cus its an easy challenge. BTW, I don’t always answer challenge’s. If I am asked to send something on to my friends, or copy and paste from one page to the next or do anything other than write what I want to, I wont do it. This is an easy one, so here goes.

I started blogging to help me unload some pain when my mom was sick. I was off work, due to foot surgery, and had nothing but time on my hands. I didn’t care if anyone read it or not, I just needed to write it out of my system. Then, as time went on, people would comment on my blog, how they found me was a mystery to me. I would then go look at their page, and maybe comment on their blogs. If I remember correctly, Bear was one of my first friends. Then I just started to write stuff, whether it meant anything to me or not, I just wrote what was on my mind. I learned to talk to strangers, and that they weren’t all out to get something out of me. This was a big step for me to take, believe it or not.

Now I blog to keep up with the friends I have made. I learn new stuff every time I read the other posts. I get support from the friends I have made, and I have kind of learned how to type. I still cant type without looking, but I have gotten better. I blog to keep a record of my day to day life, as in my travels, adventures, projects, and moments I need to capture. I blog because I have the time, and I like it.

Now, onto other stuff about me:

This may be the last time I ever write about my political standing, unless I am asked. I am registered Independent, but with strong leanings toward the Republican party. If you know me at all, this is no surprise. I believe in the death penalty. This is not because I believe I am good enough to play God. I believe if a person kills another person, for money, or during a robbery, or just because they wanted to, I don’t want to pay for them while they sit in jail. They seem to get too many rights in prison, and I am not willing to pay for them. Does this sound harsh? It may, but it is what I believe and feel. This is my last word on this in blog land, unless I am asked.

I had started doing that part a while back as reveals at the beginning of my blogs. They were forgotten, and soon I just didn’t do it any more. It lets people get to know me better without filling out a survey or questionnaire about myself. Em does the Thursday Thirteen thing, and that is a good way to learn about people. I just cant seem to keep up with something every week. I just realized this is getting longer than I wanted it to, so I will finish it here. Hope ya all had a great weekend. See ya next time.
