so for the past oh, two months or so, since one of my besties moved to cali (insert super sad i miss you but i'm so happy for you face here), we have been discussing blogging as a form of... well, just blogging. and finally, after a lot of talk and no action, i decided to give this thing a whirl. let's just say that so far, i am less than thrilled... i have updated my "about me" section 3 times, only to be told (3 times) that i have reached an error. let's fix that... and let's fix it now. because people want to know about me, don't they? honestly, no one who i would share this with probably even needs to read the "about me" becuase i'm not even sure at this point who i'll show this little beauty to... (insert already angry thought... if i type this WHOLE passage and it doesn't "post" becuase of an error- blogging over.. so if you're reading this, then we know that i haven't yet punched the screen or, if blogging on the phone, thrown it).
people blog for all sorts of reasons and i decided that i needed no reason what-so-ever other than, i want to. i figure hell, it's as good a reason as any. wait... can i swear on this thing? or will i be ever so nicely asked to not share my cynical thought(s) of the day.
i'm trying to be upbeat and positve but like frank says in 'Home Alone' (one of my favorite movies to quote every christmas) "you be positive... i'll be realistic"... and the reality is, i'm not really that positive. i mean, don't get me wrong. i come across positive when necessary. and i used to firmly dispute the idea that i might be anything less than happy... but then, i realized that it's much easier to be cynical AND to embrace it, than it is to fake being an optimist. for the record, i am, when necessary, the eternal optimist. i find that it's beneficial in some senarios (note: SOME). in others, it's just as easy to call it like i see it... and if i see that it's not really all it's cracked up to be, why pretend? i think that most people wouldn't be able to get away with this but for some reason, the whole "embracing it" has really worked for me.
game 162 tonight... what long, strange season it has been (i'm a die hard sox fan. which to me means no pink hats, no sparkles- i know, to each her own but... my own says no pink...) okay i digress... in 2 minutes, what could be a really long night begins... #believeinboston (and yes, i just 'hash-tagged' in a blog).
