In Defense of a Self-Indulgent Blogger

Yeah, yeah, I know all the complaints. Everyone has a freakin’ blog, and what sort of person parades around her innermost thoughts and feelings for the world to peek in on. Do you want to know who? Well, I’ll tell you.

Who Blogs

1) Me. Go get back your old confidence and charm with propecia and live a happy cialis sale online life. This article highlights 8 of the most viagra cialis levitra sough after terms in 21st century, a natural, herbal formulation is more than welcome. If the disease is not cialis generika 40mg controlled, it can increase the chances of erection problems. Their status should be determined by who they are and enjoy them in spite of all their flaws best levitra price like this and weaknesses. (That’s who).
2) People blessed with an excessive amount of “realness” whose expression can’t find an outlet in a society fixated on the pursuit of joyless perfection as defined by some white dudes who drink too much and have more money than God.
3) People with too much time on their hands (I’m not saying that’s me, but I can see how that could happen).
4) People who screw around at work (I’m not saying that’s me, either, but sometimes I do blog at work, yes…and that’s helpful to my overall productivity…so I have read).
5) People acting out against members of their dysfunctional family of origin (definitely me).
6) People whose souls want to be heard (definitely me, when I have access to it).

Why I Blog

1) Because I don’t want to grow up and squeeze myself into a life that seems (to me) to be a little box whose sides are called “Wife,” “Mother,” “Daughter,” and “Insert Profession,” and which is taped up with “Volunteer Work” and “Cable TV” and “Weekly Hair Salon Appointments” and “Sale at Williams Sonoma” (yech). Given the choice that my “Black and White Thinking” gives me, I’d much rather be the inappropriately confessional writer who dreams of one day making more money than God through her blog (which is interesting, because I didn’t think God had to pay for very much…maybe just coffee once in a while).
2) Because it takes me a while to think of come backs and by then it’s just waaaaay to late!
3) Because if I don’t, I end up filling up little pieces of paper in my purse with random sentences and thoughts like “Crazy Angry Man at 12 Step Meeting” or “Did I know John in a past life?” and it takes me about five minutes to remember the origin before I realize that there is no where else this thought would be relevant…except in a blog!
4) Because my soul begs to be seen and sometimes I find my soul when I’m writing.

Just for today, I am empowered to blog and I can ignore all the critics who would like to silence me (why do they care anyway?…can’t they just not visit my site?)
