The secret to a successful blog - they say - is to provide information the readers can't get anywhere else...even if what that means is just them getting a view of what goes on behind the scenes in the company. Also the personality of the writer is a major selling point, so Sadie is quite right to think to focus on "just being me"... A "member blog" type of blog, on the other hand -like here- is merely about occasionally posting what mundane things go on in your day. So if Mike wrote one of these here, it may contain thought pieces occasionally, yes, but mostly we'd be let in on what goes on at the Marshall household! (And he may or may not wish to share that, so..). Anyway, it's just a thought in case anyone does want to. (I know everyone isn't going to be like me -open and not caring if everyone knows my stuff) (well, except for the top secret location of my shoe box ;D i always thought that women's shoes were all lined up in the closet, all two hundred of them Jumbo! You're thinking of Phillipines' former 1st lady Imelda Marcos and her shoe collection! ;D www.flickr.com/photos/pinoyherald/4066919767/

I just had Saturday morning coffee with my neighbors. It's become a thing we do. It's good that neighbors stick together a bit...well, the ones in my building do..other than them, the other houses, actually they're the ones who get up to all the annoying nonsense we chat about! lol I told you the one across from me started an after hours bar and invited 200 people every Friday and Saturday night, who flooded the street till 5AM and in the end there was a shooting outside my window. Well...that's city life...I guess! But these lovely p..oh who am I kidding, "assholes across the street" ( I call them the Bumpasses)(is that how you spell that? ..the bad neighbors with the 50 dogs in the movie "A Christmas Story"...those Bumpasses) ..Well, the Bumpasses I would have thought should just STFU and be a bit shamed for a while, but nope! The night before last, at 10 PM, they mowed their lawn (mm hmm). This strange act was apparently in preparation for a wake, which would have been fine, but apparently for them a wake involves drinking, yelling yeehah, and listening to the crappiest possible music really loud all night....And i thought this was supposed to be a solemn occasion? mm

Dear Diary,
The last few days have sucked. I deleted my accounts at two other boards. And at a third I saw evidence they've been having a good ole time badmouthing another board (ours? I don't know). But I do know Bits is a rare place, in that it has no martinet at the top making rules that essentially prohibit enjoying the place. It's nice and friendly, with few rules but those that make sense, and I've never for a moment felt anyone's breath on my neck here.
It's a good thing it's like that.
I dont need any other boards.
Oh, excuse me for a minute, I have to do something for someone... This is for you babe!:
Oh and there's this:

I've been at Bits -on a daily basis- for half a year now. I've said it before, but..I didn't watch or read any news for seven years before I got here (saw no TV shows at all either). It's not that I was doing my impersonation of Tom Hanks on an island somewhere (Wilson!!!)(lol, loved that movie); it's that I followed everything quite intensely for..mm..15 years, until I got so fed up with the constant lying and tricking, and the embarrassing nature of our political system, "reality" shows which had taken the place of sitcoms and fiction series (only so that production companies could now sell ad space on "shows" that didn't require paying actors and writers (i.e., they figured out how to give us no product for the same price essentially), and other aspects of following popular culture which had degraded to the point of, well....in my lifetime I have seen what used to be considered bad become what is now thought of as good, and vice versa (imagine that: the republicans tell us helping people is now "bad" (!) and that being the most aggressive attacker is good...they even designed video games to give to our kids to train them to kill (that Navy Seals game, where all they do is go around stalking and killing: the pentagon designed that, and the intent was to create a desensitized pool of future soldiers for their "pre-emptive warring" they were planning). And I saw all this on TV. And I shut it off. But now I have been reading the news - and seeing Kim Kardashian's butt-zilla - daily. Has anything changed? Oh my no. But for me the result is my view of what humans are has been deepened. To read of "killing" and "punishing", and see how much humans support it is most disturbing. Not that this is really any different than I had already felt. I just looked at it again didnt I? mm..well, there's a reason I like humor, and helping. When I stay in those areas I find life tolerable. Is there a point to all this? No. I'm just a bit disappointed that more folks don't think as I do. ..And I don't see the world I was told to expect as a child. No, not the missing flying cars (although where are they?), but the promise of presidents who used to talk and act upon the idea of making a great society, of ending poverty, of really being a "land of opportunity", really having decent values we ensure. Those promises got killed, so that the opposite of good could take the power. And people didn't say no to it. And now we're broke. The world has become crummier and crummier instead of better, as I was promised as a child. And sometimes I have thought perhaps if the adults were just honest (to themselves, and their kids): that we like killing, we like punishing, we like ordering others around, keeping them under guard (even if by video surveillance). But folks don't tell their kids the truth, they tell them these things are "bad", so we grow up to be ever disappointed by -and unfit for- what reality actually is. "Kids", we should say, "killing people is heroic, valiant..we give medals for it. But you cant do it for yourself, only for your masters (the big brotherish government), because they have taken all your rights and power away. You may not even get in a fist fight for yourself or they will cage you, children, and NOT because fighting is wrong, but again because your right to do it for yourself has been outlawed, you have been depowered, and must call a government officer to do your fighting for you, and then we will all cheer at it on the TV ("Get the villain! Abuse him! He deserves it! Ra! Ra!" we'll all scream at the TV while vicariously so enjoying the predation and abuse.). Kids, THAT is what life is like. And right doesn't matter, only who is stronger than everybody else.."
Unless we do better, that's precisely what we should tell our kids, for then they would at least be prepared for the world they are actually going to have to face.
And yep, that's the view I have. So that's why I usually just stick to either helping others or making humor, because otherwise my revulsion at the human race would surely consume me.
