First Post... What Am I Doing?
Well, here we are. Music from Joe Satriani playing at a comfortable level and the keyboard within easy reach... What in the world am I doing? Why in the world am I blogging? I never really considered myself as someone who would blog but as of late my mind just seems so overloaded with stuff.
In the last couple of months I really feel like my head is going to explode some days with everything swirling around in there. Those of you that really know me probably think that everything in my head relates to computers, IP addresses, radio frequencies, and all kinds of other techno babble BS. I will admit that there is a lot of that crap floating around in there, but by far it not the only thing there. I am human too, I have feelings and emotions. Some people would say "Keep a Journal". BAH! I hate journals. I relate those to assignments from High School. Besides, with the problems I have with my hands, it hurts too much to actually use pen and paper (more on that some day). Besides, if I did that, no one else would ever see it. I thought of just using Notepad (inside MS Windows) or Microsoft Word and just typing out my thoughts, but again that shuts out everyone else. This is my avenue for sharing and at the same time straightening out the filing cabinet in my head. I will say that you liable to read about just about anything here; kids and their activities, my hobbies, thoughts on life, work, or whatever.
Speaking of Joe Satriani... As I was typing his song "Wind in the Trees" from the CD "Black Swans and Wormhole Wizards" started playing. I just had to stop and absorb the melody of that song. If you don't know who Joe Satriani is then shame on you! Just kidding! Joe primarily composes and performs instrumental electric guitar pieces. Most of his compositions are what you would expect from an electric guitar playing musician. It is rock. But it is rock with emotion... with feeling... it has to be heard to understand. But there are also his "rock ballad" (for lack of a better term) pieces. Some of these make you want to cry, some are sooooo relaxing, and some make you want to... well, never mind. In fact, I played the song twice just because it hit me as something I needed at that particular moment in time. Joe is my favorite artist and I will probably make lots of references to his music along the way.
There is so much I want to say but I don't want to terrify anyone on the first post so I will wait. Besides, I still have to get into the groove of doing this.
Enough for now; maybe more later this evening, we'll just have to see.

Glad to see you blogging! I used to get a lot of therapy out of it as well. I need to get back into it! It's a great way to vent, and hey, someone may read it, or maybe not...but oh well, it is out there anyway! :]
ReplyDeleteI think it's awesome that you are doing this. Kind of makes me want to sort out the "filing cabinet" in my head. I would probably get a visit from the nice little guys in white coats that would take my laptop from me and escort me to a nice, cozy little room with soft walls and give me medication that would make me drool. But, who knows... I may get brave one day. Love ya'!!
ReplyDeletegood stuff! blogging can be therapeutic for your soul. I know this because I have been blogging about Benjamin since 2009. It is a good sounding board, and my parents love it. I will definitely be reading your posts! If you want to check mine out the address is: dsgreata.wordpress.com. Happy blogging!
ReplyDeleteLisa, I thought about the guys in white coats but decided they weren't worth the effort to worry about. Jennifer and Dana, I decided this was a good way to get things out of my head and into the open. Good or bad, I think it is a way for me to remove some stress from life.
