Yesterday my computer "blue-screened" first thing in the morning. Not a good thing for a "blogger". Especially, because I was starting my 50th blog of the year. So my apologies go out to all those who read on a daily basis. I drove home to Tennessee, unpacked, took a shower, went to Spencer's concert and got home and ready for bed about 1:00 a.m.. A very late night for me.
Although, obviously I was not able to write yesterday, I have found that I am really enjoying writing. It's a kind of release for me. It keeps me wondering throughout the day. I find myself more aware of what is going on around me and how it affects me. And I like sharing my thoughts with the few of you that know of my blog. I am now thinking about taking the next big step and doing something that I have always wanted to do. I am thinking about writing a fictional book based primarily on the life of my granddad. One of the things I find very interesting about my grandfather's life is that the world has changed so much throughout his 96 years and how he has both adapted and also changed as a person during that time. I will let you know if I get the guts to really do it.
I do have some ideas for some future blogs that I am researching so you may want to stay tuned if any of these things interest you. Along with my rants about politics, and friends, and fear, and family, I plan on writing about some slogans from commercials in the past and how they are different today than they were then. I plan on writing about the Wisconsin teachers union and providing some shocking statistics. I have some blogs about automobiles that I am currently researching that I think you will find interesting. I also have been contemplating things like what is the difference between panicking and "choking" and why some people seem to always "drop the ball" and why some people never do. I want to write about recent success stories that show that the American dream is still alive and some people are still making it happen today.
But for today, I want to get my computer working so that I can focus on getting some more blogs up and going. As I stated before, I am enjoying writing blogs. I hope that you are enjoying reading them.
Onward to blog # 51.
