learning from blogs

So... I haven't written in awhile. This I am fully aware of. But the move to Phoenix and beginning my selling career has been much more stressful than I originally anticipated. Not to mention I've been "dating" and figuring out the relationship with my roommate. Anyway. So I was reading a blog that I semi-frequent, though not of late, and I could not even get through a single posting. It's so boring reading about another person's boring ass life. Especially when that person is bragging about how great they are and telling their readers things their readers most likely already know.

So it got me thinking. Why do I even write? Why update those EXTREMELY few people who read this when I'm most likely going to tell those people the same damn story when I have a chance to talk to them?

And I guess I realized. This blog is for me. It's my way of writing as therapy. Which, I suppose is why it is so erratic. When I don't need therapy, I don't write. And when I do, I do write.

So why am I writing now? Because I'm on a rant about how much I don't care about other people's mundane lives. And that I don't expect those people reading this to be interested in MY mundane life. It truly isn't that interesting. But oh well. If you like to read and you care about me (aha! maybe that's the issue! only those who care about me would read this blog, which is precisely why I couldn't get through the aforementioned blog! Because I no longer care!) then read on.

Today is Saturday and I am planning a trip to Flagstaff, AZ with a guy named John who happens to be amazing and also happens to have a badass mohawk. And I'm not talking like feauxhawk here people. I'm talking, shaved sides, uses Elmer's glue to get the thing to stand falmost a foot off his head, serious ass mohawk. And For some strange reason, it's incredibly hot, though he and I are quite a pair when we hang out, and we've gotten comments also. "Ms. Preppy out with the dude with a mohawk," was my favorite. But somehow, we work. Anyway, we're going to Flagstaff because it's snowing there and I'm sort of feeling like it's not winter since it still gets to between 75 and 80 on a beautiful sunny day here in Phoenix. So we're going to experience the snow.

I need to go purchase a sweater for my little dog who is going with us and isn't made for extreme weather like that. Anyway. I plan to have an awesome day. I hope you all (those few of you who read this) will do the same.
