The purpose of my blog

The purpose of my blog is to illuminate people about everything. I'm generally considered a culture maven in most circles be they large or small. I'm your go to gal in just about any area. I have a wide base of knowledge and Facebook classifies me as a Grammar Nazi!

I was a newspaper reporter in high school and college, a yearbook editor, a feature writer and a top reviewer on sidewalk.com before it merged into citysearch.com and my witty reviews disappeared into cyberspace. I'm opinionated but I can back up my stance on an issue, product or business and hopefully spare someone else my agony in the process.

I'm on twitter, facebook, yelp, MySpace, yelp you name it, I'm on there bitching about something or someone who can and should do a better job. As you have surely guessed by now, I am a Type A personality but I have calmed considerably in the last few years.

I'm irked/peeved/pissed about bad drivers, corrupt city officials, dead beat dads and moms, baby mama drama, baby daddy drama, illiteracy, apathy, bad manners, poor taste, low morals and a list too long to mention. However, I can remark on these issues and many more with with, humor and style.

Join me on this ride to discuss the economy and all that it brings to the table. I may seem unfocused at times but that's just the ADHD keeping me moving on to the next big idea.

I hope you enjoy my observations and you are moved enough to comment. I'm trying to consolidate my old blogs here so please be patient.

Gotta Love Twit Pics!

I must admit that I Love Twit Pics due to the appeal of photos like the ones at the end of Rain Man! I wish everyone would do as I do and take pictures of interesting things during their daily lives. One must take joy in the little things and endeavor to persevere (Chief Dan George).

Mistaking Kindness for Weakness

Recently I have encountered may people who mistake kindness for weakness. This is a colossal mistake in judgment and brings to mind the statement, "Beware the fury of a patient man."

I understand how many cynical people populate this world but once in a while people, good people actually do things to be nice. When this happens rather than taking advantage you should pay it forward and do something nice for someone else. This would make the world a better place and what could be better than that?

Think about it.

Lisa Marie Presley had twin girls in October 2008?

I just read online TODAY that Lisa Marie Presley had twin girls on October 7, 2008! That one escaped me, probably because I was pregnant myself at the time and didn't know it. I was exhausted and hibernating like a bear in winter and didn't find out I was pregnant until October 23, 2008. We're roughly the same age and I also was thrilled to be gestating. However, due to my non-celebrity status, M.D.s were not concerned about my miscarriage risk and allowed me to have one.

I'm glad her daughters are healthy. Forty doesn't seem so old anymore.

Modern Technology

I was just thinking how much easier and invasive technology has become in the last 10 years. It's amazing to think how much one can do and view from a cell phone or computer that nobody ever thought possible in 1999. Back then we were all worried about the Y2K computer glitch that never happened.

Now kids are cyber stalking and bullying each other over the Internet. Aren't we advanced? Being a travel agent is no longer a viable option if you wish to pay your bills thanks to the Internet.

Some things are good in the name of progress but I can't think of any in my current state of mind. What is amazing to me is how low some people become due to this piss poor excuse for an economy.

Please someone sent me some good things to remind me why I've become a slave to my computer and cell phone.
