Been working up a few ideas about how I want this blog to run, and as if by magic, I will discuss them now! We're metabloggin' over here, fools.
Generalities:
--I tend to either ramble or post-and-run when I blog, so I'll do my best to strike a balance there.
--I can't promise to do this every post, but I'll include kickass pictures and linkage as often as possible.
--As much as I want to, I cannot declare this a no-cat zone. It's gonna happen. I'll try to be sparing.
--I'm cooking up some regular features for structure and balance, for your pleasure and mine.
--I hope when someone asks you what this blog is about, you won't have a simple answer.
You'll stammer a bit and then tell them it's a personal/lifestyle/humor/ladytime/cooking/gardening/crafting/political/social/pop culture/artful/miscellaneous/pastiche/mosaic/patchwork quilt/mashup/blog/thing, and that will be the best you can put it. The person you're describing it to will have a meltdown, and everyone wins. Dump the Gatorade.
By the way, I have issues. (You probably guessed that already, if you don't know me; and if you do know me, I'll wait for you to stop laughing.)
No, I mean, I have issues...with issues. There are issues I will talk about here, issues I won't, issues of interest, issues of none. I don't think every tiny thing is worth the time (yours and mine), and not everything is or needs to be blog fodder. I think about how fantastic social media can be, and so often is, and then I think about how we share soooooooooooo much these days. To be fair, that is everyone's personal choice when they Facebook/Instagram/Twitter, so go for it. I'm gonna. But...
I hope to write the kind of blog I'd want to read, and the ones I like the best (peep my blogroll of favorites) choose their issues wisely. Who wants to settle in to relax and then have to endure my lunch photos from every conceivable angle? And, why should you be forced to read all my deepest woes when you're just looking to unwind? I ain't sayin' that from time to time it won't get a little verklempt up in here. Feel free to scroll past that if it's not your thing. In fact, here's something you can look at while I cry in my beer:
I'm sorry. You're right; that was uncalled for. And it probably won't happen again....
...probably.
