As I was reading through different blogs of (obviously) different people, I came across a comment mentioning that most blogs are negative - full of complaints and whinings etc.

(I forget from which blog it came, hence my failing to link it here.)

But I do tend to notice people venting their anger and frustrations and transforming it into the text which tens and tens of people read daily...

I see nothing wrong with this.

Misery loves company, but (in my head) blogs are precisely there for that very reason... to let out all of your anger and dispair and dissappointment, but they are also there to capture the joy and triumphs of the every day, that normally would not have been captured...

Except in the cases (like mine) where the blog is there as an outlet for my mind... more like a place to leave all of the thoughts that I have throughout the day so I might reflect on them at a later time. (I'm a big fan of tracing trains of thought - so I can see where I was, where I am, and how I got there.)

oh... then there are the cases that are transcriptions of the actions thoughout the day and the simple feelings associated with it (i.e. I did this - I liked it. I also did this - I did not like it so much. I saw this person - I miss them. I went out to eat - I ate this. It was good.)

But whatever floats your boat - or whatever puts your kit in your caboodle - if you are prone to sea-sickness...

In any case, for those of you that let loose your venom into the electronic wonderfulness of the internet - as long as I don't have to deal, actually, with it - do your stuff, do your thing, take 'em down, take 'em out...

For those of you that spread your happy little anecdotes and cutesy little pics of friends and babies... can you please keep that to yourself??? Our lives might be bad, but you don't gotta rub our faces into it...

sheesh...

[dramatic pause - as I stare at your expression of shock and disgust - and me, laughing on the inside because you are off guard - and then I break out into my classic grin and say:]

I'm kidding!

I actually like reading about everything on the whole spectrum of emotion, as well as the course of a person's day, because, frankly, ideas come from everywhere, and I am always looking for ideas...

your blog might be the inspiration I need to create a work that will change hundreds of lives!!!

or even just one...

and hopefully in a positive fashion...

Speaking of fashion -

for the record, as much as I appreciate the need for business casual - I believe that I would be far more comfortable wearing sweats and t shirts while I was working...

not very appealling, but I would imagine there would be much less stress...

that, and I wouldn't have to waste all that money on a wardrobe for work!

But that is just fantasy, and wishing it cannot make it so...

So I will sit here in my khakis and button-up (but today I managed to pull off cords and a long sleeve tee) and type away on my three laptops...

it's cool that typing an entry looks like actual work to others glancing over (and not actually reading) at my screen...

Alas, I must return to my duties, because I my conscience will eat at me and my paranoia will worry me and my phone is ringing...

and my shoes're starting to squeak...
