blogging world….

I’ve been busy.  With what you ask?  I don’t know.  I honestly don’t know.  I just feel busy.  Not as busy as when I’m enrolled in an online course.  They are all consuming and I love it.  This Math course I am taking on-ground has drug itself out from 5 weeks to 8 because of two holiday evenings we had off.  One for New Years and one for Martin Luther King day.  I feel like I’ve been in this course but not actively in this course forever!  Tonight is the final exam.  I hate taking tests.  However, due to the content and short time in which to learn it, I believe the test is based on group scoring of some type.  Thankfully!  Whew!  So, I have one more night of Math and then hopefully never again.  After that the only trying course I expect to have is Statistics.  But Statistics makes sense to me.  Letter’s added to my math doesn’t.

Work is work….its good and it’s been that way for awhile.  I actually am one of those people that love my job.

I really didn’t make New Years Resolutions because they always fall to the wayside.  However, I did decide to clear the clutter in my life.  IE: work desk, home areas, etc. etc.  I am a paper collector.  Small pieces, large pieces..notes, paper clutter.  It’s the worst.  I am trying to cut back on it.  But the more I try the more it seems to multiply.  But I’m trying and that’s something.

I’m currently reading Lipshitz Six, or Two Angry Blondes by T Cooper.  I’m thoroughly enjoying it so far. 

Recently there’s been a lot of talk about certain things online and I find it amusing that blogs are open forums and that because they are public knowledge it’s to be expected that sometimes people are going to disagree on topics. I don’t write here for money nor for acceptance and so long as someone is telling me their viewpoint it’s ok if they disagree with me.  I think it’s wrong to attack anyone but I find it funny that just by speaking your opinion about something on your blog and not agreeing with someone else its seen as an attack.

I think there’s this f’d up who’s who of the blog world and I see it as most things in life.  It’s all about who sucks up to whom, etc.  It’s not really about who the best writers and content providers are but rather who’s liked by the masses and why.  And that’s just plain juvenile in my world.  I would not want to spend hours doing this for money.  I have better things to do with my educated mind.  I started a blog because I was having a hard time coping with the demise of my first marriage.  I didn’t start here, I started elsewhere.  Either way, I find some of the online activity by blogger’s to be interesting and somewhat hilarious.  When it comes to real issues being discussed why is it never ok for there to be more than one viewpoint?  As soon as someone brings something different or opposing to the plate it’s a mess.  I also think that some people live too much within their online world and not enough on the outside world.

The latter I say from firsthand experience.  It’s so easy to get caught up in what is happening online and forget to breath life around you.  I no longer forget that this life I’m truly living is the real one, the rest isn’t.  Yes blogger’s are real people with real lives and opinions but it is what it is.  I take it all with a grain of salt.  I’m not one of those so called “popular” blogger’s and in some circles I wouldn’t even be considered a Mommy blogger because my son is 14 not 4.  But whatever.  It’s all just lingo.
