I'm a Blogger Now! Mood
Wednesday, May 14, 2008 | A Funny story

Hello.  My name is Chrissy and I'm a Blogger. 

 

I never thought the day would come that I would find myelf blogging.  But here I am blogging.  I'm actually an official blogger. 

 

Blogger.  Blogger.  Blogger.

 

I don't care how many times I say that word, it still sounds weird to me.  In fact just about two years ago my husband suggestivley asked me if I blogged.  And I said, "excuse me?!  Do I do what?!"  He replied, "Blog. You know, write about things on the internet for the entire world to see."   

I said, "Why would I do that?" 

And he confidently responded, "Because it's the cool thing to do right now." 

I was annoyed.  First of all, my husband barely knows how to send an email (what does he know about the internet) and secondly why would I share my inner most feelings, thoughts and suggestiions with the entire world?   That would just be stupid.  And thirdly, what the hell does a blogger really do and why the weird name?

 

So, two years and one apology later, I'm a blogger.  And in case you're in the dark about "blogging" like I was, I have included information and a definition of BLOG.

 

With that being said, from here on out, I will not be writing in my journal on a regular basis.  I will however have new "blogs" up on weekly basis.  I hope you all tune in, enjoy and comment when you feel the urge.  We're all anxious to get your feedback and comments on the blogs.  I hope they are informative, relatable, supportive and in some cases, entertaining.

 

And why do I have the feeling that Daily Strength will one day be adding a new online Support Group entitled:  BLOGGERS ANONYMOUS.

 

 

Blog Definition

A frequent, chronological publication of personal thoughts and Web links.

Information

A blog is often a mixture of what is happening in a person's life and what is happening on the Web, a kind of hybrid diary/guide site, although there are as many unique types of blogs as there are people.

People maintained blogs long before the term was coined, but the trend gained momentum with the introduction of automated published systems, most notably Blogger at blogger.com. Thousands of people use services such as Blogger to simplify and accelerate the publishing process.

Blogs are alternatively called web logs or weblogs. However, "blog" seems less likely to cause confusion, as "web log" can also mean a server's log files.

    Hi Chrissy,
    I'm a newby blogger too. I absolutely love it and, yes, I think it can become addicting, well, okay, habit forming. It is actually a great form of therapy, for me anyway.
    Where will you blog be?
    My best,
    Judi

    Hi Chrissy, long time no talk to. I too have thought about blogging Blogging about how I was blindsighted at my last job, stabbed in the back and treated really badly. But I want to reach the largest audience possible and name names when I do it so I think I'll have to search for a larger, more public venue. I have moved on, my life has totally changed, I've accepted that my life is now about tending to my 94 year old mother and that I am lucky enough to not have to work for a living in a business that doesn't respect anyone over 45. I kinda miss showbiz because I was so good at it but it's over and I leave it to those who understand comic books. I think if I had been treated better, hadn't lost precious friends, contacts and was dealth with honestly and fairly, my forced retirement would have been perfect. But I'm left with residual anger towards Todd and David and probably won't be happy until I either blog or learn that life has dealt them some unfortunate issues. Something that will make them understand how I felt about what they did to me. I guess that makes me a bad person but I don't struggle with it as I undertstand my feelings, have searched my soul and think that turning on loyal relationships is something that extracts a price. I've lost, I"ve learned and I have a very nice life. But that blogging will always pull at me. I have an interesting story to tell, no one has ever had the courage to be honest and address what happened and it would give me a thrill to see the look on a few faces if I could really embarass them. The kids must be huge..xoxox..K

    wow, i reread that and i sound very bitter. it's a part of me that i can live with as i don't have to deal with it often. i just need to solve the mystery of being stabbed not once but twice. Otherwise i consider myself a very lucky and blessed person and try my best to give back to others, always treat everyone with respect, contribute and save this little bit til the big mystery is explained. Not bitter or angry, seriously.
