Where do I start?
Where do I start with a blog? People always tell me I should write a book based on my stories, rants, offbeat humor, and life's circumstances but I've always said that I am not that interesting and no one would pay for this stuff. The real story is that in the back of my mind, I can hear my dad (who passed away in 1995) saying, through his clenched teeth, "Who gives a rat's ass?" That's kind of what I am afraid of - no one will give a rat's ass what I have to say. Plus, there's a ton of HIPPA laws that force me to seriously tone down what I have to say and I don't have the funds to fight those lawsuits.
However, because I work all alone, in my home office, all day long, I tend to go stir crazy and want to have some social contact. This has resulted in my posting my thoughts far too often on Facebook, sometimes coming to my senses and deleting them, sometimes pissing people off, sometimes making them laugh. Again, I wonder how many of my friends are also rolling their eyes and asking, "Who gives a rat's ass?" So - a blog makes sense. I can sit here, talking to myself, thinking I am brilliant, and hysterical, and interesting. . . and only if anyone wants to read what I have to say, they can, without my being in anyone's face every day. Win - win.
This may fly - it may not. I tend to jump on an idea, go gangbusters, and then forget it. Either way, it will be an interesting ride, at least for me, and a neat way to document the random weirdness that I embrace as my life.
