Somehow I have managed to keep this thing going for two whole months. For someone usually as noncommittal as myself, that's fairly astounding. So what will I ramble on about today?
I could talk about the fact that today is the anniversary of the start of the second opium war, or the day AT&T was incorporated, when the United States decided to start censoring the mail or when Carmen first played. But none of that, besides the At&T thing, really has any direct bearing on my blog today. What does have bearing?
Writing this blog is becoming part of my Virgoan ritual and it is an interesting way for me express whatever I'm feeling at the time to whoever might happen upon these pages. I wondered who would read this blog in the beginning, maybe no one. At first, that bothered me. Then I thought that this blog is more for myself & my own outlet than anything else. If you like my writing, then thank you for reading it. Not to be snide, but if you don't like it, there is a next blog link at the top of the page. Try it sometime, I do & I've found some interesting blogs.
I can't tell you what this month will bring for me, if I'm lucky the bad things will be limited. My March third won't be as exciting as being the day that Time magazine first published, a new Turkey emerged or Rodney King getting beaten by the L.A. cops. However, in this little part of the world, this March third will be mine. My beginning of the third month of my blog. My beginning of Spring. My time with my roomie & cats. Maybe I'll win a million or go write a novel. Maybe I'll do nothing at all. Whatever it is that I will or won't do, it will be mine.
Maybe that sounds a little selfish, but from time to time, you just have to be. You have to look after yourself & make sure you're getting what you need. Today, I'll take a cue from a duck.
