It's Thanksgiving Day. We're getting ready to host the day for the relatives, which we've been doing for most of the time since my in-laws couldn't, about eight years. How things change.
This started off as a random post, which became an orphan, so I decided to re-purpose it as a full blown post. I've also downloaded Blogger to my Android phone, and HTC model so I can blog on the road, as it were. I drive for a living, work for a livery company in Cleveland, Oh. So, now I've committed myself to this blog. I've wanted to do more on it but momentum keeps going away. I know it's frustrating for those of you who come back hoping to find something new and there's nothing there. I've done that with other blogs too.
Since my last post about conspiracy theories, there's been an election. Barak Obama has been re-elected to the surprise and dismay of many conservatives. I listen to two radio stations that are AM News-Talk. Between them they host at least seven conservative talk-show hosts. Nome of them can understand what happened to get Barak Obama elected, they talk about loosing the country. Hmm, I'm trying to recall what else I was going to blog about regarding conspiracies and can't right now. Okay, maybe later.
A few posts ago I talked about my tooth being loose. Since then it has fallen out and sometimes I sound like I have a lisp of some sort. Am I going to get it fixed? At some point I probably will. The question is how; bridge or implants? We'll see.
As I sit here I want to close my eyes and go to sleep. That will be hard to do with guests still in the house.
I will have to organize my list of topics and things I want to write about for future productivity. My brain is mush now. Until later, Happy Thanksgiving.

About a year ago, one of my bottom teeth began coming loose. I've learned how to eat with out biting. I eat everything with utensils, even pizza, a little odd, but it works. I haven't missed much.
Basically, the dentist told me three other teeth are coming loose also, so they will have to come out. (sigh), I kinda thought maybe that was a possibility. So I'll have a four-tooth bridge in the bottom of my mouth when everything is said and done.
Sometimes I thought, if I let things go far enough, I'll just have 'em all pulled and get dentures, what the hell? Part of this could have probably been avoided if I had seen the dentist regularly, but money and insurance was a bit of a problem for a while. Be that as it may, people younger than me have worse problems with their teeth. Anyways, I'll keep you posted on how things go.
On a better note: I've finally figured out how to put graphics into this blog. Took me long enough. Thank you Google images. Now I can go back and put pics into some, most, all of my blog posts and make them more interesting? Here's a hook...keep checking back. Monday starts the blog for a week challenge, we'l see how it goes.

Gaining momentum
More time has passed, too much time between posts.
I decided to take a look at my blog and see what was going on. Not much as usual lately to my regret. I started scrolling down the list of posts from the favorite blogs list and came across one titled "why do we blog?" I read through the responses and realized what I'd been missing. At the very least its would be for the joy of writing and self expression. And if I'm lucky, there will be more benefits, like better command of words, thoughts, etc., I might even make some friends and extra income. What's not to like?
My problem is that I'm easily distracted and discouraged. Afflicted with a degree of ADD. The discouragement part could be looking for a certain result and not getting it as soon as hoped and thinking it's not working and giving up. Or becoming overwhelmed by all the blogs and posts and information, and not having a method of handling it all. So it becomes on big mass of stuff and I get overwhelmed and discouraged.
Having realized this I want to try and manage it better. Try and keep better focus and follow a written list of priorities so I don't get so easily overwhelmed.
Does anyone else have issues with ADD? If so, how do you handle blogging or trying to blog with all the information that can come at you? Thanks for your response.
FYI I'm not doing the vampire thing in SL anymore.

Here Goes
Well, here I go on a bit of a adventure. I'm using Blogger as my "real" blog. That being my main blog, the one that holds the really important ideas.
I had recently, in the last month or so decided to get into blogging as a more serious venture instead of a "this is what I did today" kind of thing. Although there's nothing wrong with that, it serves a purpose. I've done it with three different blogs on AOL, MSN, and Yahoo!360.
My hope is that this blog will be worth reading and have some useful information. What I want to blog about, and share with you, things near and dear to my heart are; parenting, self-esteem, psychology, pop culture to name a few. If I come across any useful onformation or links, I'll make those available one way or another. Also things on the format may change from time to time as I figure out how to organize the look an feel of the layout.
Right now I don't know how I am going to do this. One day at a time, one post at a time. You build a wall one brick at a time, you take a journey one step at a time. So this is my first step. Come with me, I appreciate your company.
