Big sigh
My Space for Barack
Several months ago in an attempt to restore order, simplicity, sanity and most importantly, maturity, back into my life, I took down the My Space page that I had so haphazardly slapped up. The wonderful thing about My Space is that the site almost welcomes self-annihilation. They make it so easy to delete one’s own profile. Take your chances, they say, but self-determination has always been yours. “We are not the Devil you make us.”
Now, I am considering starting a new page, one in which my only friends will be Tom and Barack Obama. I will let my politics come shining through . Proud and clear, they will maintain their innocence in historicity.
No, I don’t know what that means, and I was surprised to learn that ‘historicity’ is a word.
This will be a rant in progress. I may or may not offer explanation why, since early January until last Friday, the simple link to kangatopia brought up a blank white page. It should be sufficient to say that at least a couple of my readers were not shaken by my low tech attempt to set them free, and by this I was surprised, flattered and possibly a little frightened.
See, my problem is that I care WAY too much about what you all think. I spend lots and lots of little finger movements describing my relationship issues, my parenting pitfalls, my daily attempts at pretending that my soul is neither dying or in fact, dead. But, no more.
No More!
I am setting myself free. I will write about whatever I want, and if you disagree with me then just stop reading. I am not writing for you. I may not even write more than once or twice a year. I am no longer going to worry about updating this blog regularly, nor will I feel guilty if I don’t.
ps. And if I don’t make sense, or am oblivious to editing grammar and spelling, or begin sentences with the word, “and”, then… well, please take note that I am only holding myself accountable to my own sensibilities.
