One Single Mom

Just the varied ramblings (and rants) of a middle-aged (?) woman, a single mom, from the Texas Panhandle.

So Many Blogs, So Little Time...

Wow - time really flies whether you're having fun or not. It's been quite a while (over a week, in fact) since I actually made it here to put some words down on, er - what exactly is this?? It's not paper - and it's not even necessarily in black and white - so I don't know quite what to call it. Cyber-perpetuity? (is perpetuity spelled correctly? I suppose I'll have to check now to see.)

Any-hoo, back to my dilemma. For a week or so now, every time I MADE myself find the time to come out here put down something for someone somewhere to read, I got sidetracked. I supposed I could blame it (initially) on Jen and Paula - or maybe on blogger itself - for listing soooo many other more interesting blogs to look at!

I have read so far about everything from the x-rated antics of an oversexed exec and his barely-legal office assistant to logs about a professional massage "therapist" who offers to see her clients through to "completion" to a typical Chinese college student's life and experiences with her boyfriend and an assorted cast (this was quite interesting as it was written in English - perhaps because the UK still holds Hong Kong, or used to, whichever). I also have read some very interesting commentaries by several conservative political pundits - which I found particularly interesting and which kept me busy for a couple of hours as I clicked on link after link after link, getting myself deeper and deeper into the chain of blogs. I read one blog by a young girl whose birthday is the same day as my oldest daughter - maybe a couple of years earlier - so I read it simply for that reason. She talked about college life and piercings and tattoos and which of her friends were sleeping with the others also. Let's see... oh YES - there is the continuing saga of the California bar bouncer and company - quite amusing.

Most of these well put-together cyber journals makes me wonder why I even bother attempting to entertain myself - let alone anyone else - with my own rants and raves. But then again, I only started this thing for the sole purpose of bashing a certain scum sucking sewer rat and exorcising a few of my own demons.

Maybe I should just have another piece of cake and a glass of milk and call it a night - right now I'm much more in the mood to read about Kashmir's travels in the Peruvian rain forest than to pour out my guts or worry about correct use of grammar and punctuation.

I do have a few ideas for future posts, so I'm making a list here - in case I forget:

1) reconnecting with old high school friends/classmates

2) why I'm ready for my 20 y/o daughter to get out from under my house and out on her own

3) why so many men are homophobic and yet - they all seem to have a fascination with trying to convince a woman to try anal sex (ok - just threw this one in to see if you were still awake)

4) my ex-husband, the moron and his slutty sidekick I call my stepwife

5) funny resume blunders I've actually read first-hand (this one should be put into book form, published, and make me a rich woman)

6) people who drive down the e-way in the left hand lane - but not going faster than the right hand lane - as if they consider themselves the official pacecar of the canyon e-way

7) why I'm a selfish horrible person and I know it, but can't seem to help myself

8) are there ANY good men left out there who can appreciate me - oh hell - are there any good men out there, period????

later.... osm

    Hey! Actually it wasn't "another" piece - it was my first (and only) of the day.

    Gee, and I worried that I don't have Jiminy Cricket around like Pinocchio did, lol - PLEASE continue to comment and remind me that I AM READY TO LIVE AGAIN and I don't want to die fat because I've heard that fat does some really FUNKY things in the furnace at the crematorium - EWWWW!

    Thanks for the post, Coach - hope you'll come back soon - and often!!! ...osm

    p.s. I tried to listen to your audio blog, but I am unable to open the pages - they come up as "unavailable" - any suggestions??? I recently enabled XP's internet firewall - could that be it??? ...osm

    I just started the audioblog thing as an experiment. Sometimes it lets me listen to it and other times it doesn't. It's a very cool thing, but I don't think blogger has worked out all of the bugs yet. One thing is that if you have or download the free winamp, audioblog seems to work better. I put a couple of recordings on my Poker Blog http://www.tholdem.blogspot.com that seem to work well. I write in a a couple of blogs, based on my varying interests, with the voice blog being the latest (and probably not the greatest)venture to date.

    Good to see you back on osm! Don't blame us for your x-rated blog fetish! None of those on our list (darn it). Will have to go blogsurfing again.

    LOL - shouldn't have to surf TOO far. Seems this blogging stuff brings out all the Penthouse Forum rejects in full force! ...osm
