I have been posting a bit more recently. However, I tend to view much of what I’ve been posting in my journal as ‘fluff’<\/p>\n
On occasions I have the urge to pull out the soapbox for a while and rant about things that annoy or frustrate me in the world.<\/p>\n
I’ve been working on one such post since about 7:30 am this morning. (I stopped temporarily to make sure I wasn’t going to be more than 1 hour late. Since, then I’ve had meetings.)<\/p>\n
Currently I am up to over 1700 words. Which makes it one of my longer ones.<\/p>\n
Making these posts is never really easy for me. (Making these posts are never easy? Making a post like this is …. see number 1 below)<\/p>\n
First, I realize that my written communication skills are weak. My education focused on oration. Making it sound right. I am pleased that as long as I speak my mind, the only thing (I believe) that my love takes offense at is the fact that it’s written badly. Which leads to…<\/p>\n
Second, it has taken me many years to come to a point to be able to express something without worrying what other people will think.<\/p>\n
Third, and most humourous, is how readers respond. When I say something of length and value I typically get a few comments based on an example of sardonic humour near the end of my post. On the other hand… when I post about the merits of condiments on luncheon meats<\/a>… I think we’re up to 36 comments.<\/p>\n In the mean time it’s now 3 pm and I’ve written nothing new on the long post since 8:45. This is primarily because I’ve been embroiled in the debate that has prompted the rant that is forthcoming.<\/p>\nShare this:<\/h3>
