The Blog Equivalent Of A Maelstrom

I think I've sufficiently placated the Muppet enough so that she's less 1st Degree murderous and more like 2nd Degree murderous... maybe even cooling down to Voluntary Manslaughter status.

I had no idea that simple little post yesterday would whip up such a MAELSTROM of opinion. It was like a Blogger.com white squall!

Sometimes I hesitate to post somewhat personal things on this site. I posted very personal thoughts all last summer and then I decided that not everyone should be forced to be exposed to all my drama and related craziness. I try and keep it light for the most part, but every now and then I'll throw in something serious for your asses, just to keep you on your toes!

You should know that for every thought that makes it up here, there are a thousand that don't. And I'm just like everyone else when it comes to what I want out of life. So, you know, I'm just throwing some darts, seeing which ones hit the center and then going from there.

None of you are strangers to the tough decisions that redirecting your life toward something you want to do requires. That's why I felt comfortable enough to put something like this out there. You've ALL upended your lives at one point or another. Who hasn't? And more than once!

I know it would require a lot of work and a whole bunch of other bullshit. But I would like to make a living writing. I know what my strengths and my weaknesses are, and I'm ready to attack that shit.

If you know me well, you know what it took for me to write that last sentence.

If you know me even better, as a few of you do, you know what it took for me to even start this blog.

I'm grateful for all the advice and encouragement you guys have shown me up to this point. Please don't stop weighing in. Your participation delights me and gives me food for thought.
