Verbose, Yes I Am
Or, if you prefer, long-winded, palaverous, prolix, redundant, or windy. I was told recently that I needed to lay off the long blogs. They need to be four paragraphs or less. Well... here's three more paragraphs about why I am probably not going to follow that advice, as good as it might be.
My reason for starting the blog was completely self-centered. I have never been very good at keeping a journal and I thought I might be better at this because it is available anywhere that there is a computer with internet access. Also, I have a very, very hard time keeping up with friends and this way they can find out what's going on in my life without me having to e-mail them each seperately (which I never have time to do) or trying to catch me on the phone (which is nearly impossible).
I do attempt to infuse the blog entries with some humor to break up the monotony of my story-telling. However, given the frustration I have been feeling with my career, it is sometimes quite a stretch... hence the title of my blog... ranting. I figure that there are enough people out there just trying to be funny that something a little different is okay. Well, that and no one is require to read my endless stories. :)
Lastly, I'd like to make a request. Since it has come to my attention that my preferred writing format might not be everyone's preferred format to read, let me know what your vote is. Maybe if there is an overwhelming vote for just funny then I will try to accomodate. Probably will post a whole lot less often because only a limited amount of "funny only" stuff happens in my life and even less often occurs in my head. Even if you don't want to comment on my blogging tendencies - drop me a comment! I'd love to know who's actually reading my blogs and what you're thinking. Thanks.
Have a Great Weekend!! Weeeeeeee!!!

I read it and in reality its your blog so do what you want with it... I just thought that if you kept them shorter it would be easier to read. On the other side - you pretty much have to write that much on most of the topics you discuss anywho... meh.. its your blog...
