The Blog Is Back!
I wasn’t going to make an announcement, but something compels me to. I guess it’s just the very fact that I am sitting at my PC, watching the Fakers get beat by Phoenix, and I felt like writing. Even if I wasn’t watching the basketball game, I would feel like writing…because it is what I do.
Shutting my blog down was what I believed (at the time) to be the right thing to do. I was starting school, working on a major project, and my home life is busy with my son getting prepared for high school next year. So I had to give up something and Conversations was it.
A mistake. That’s what it was…a mistake. I missed the talking and discussions so much. I still keep my Twitter account, even though I think most of the time the people on there are petty and hiding behind their anonymity to say mean and spiteful shit. I have my Facebook account, but that is mainly to tend my Farmville farm. Seeing as how my online friends and family are really the only ones that I talk to everyday, shutting down my blog made absolutely no sense and caused me a great deal of longing. I missed y’all…
When I decided to come back, it was with the need to let loose these thoughts that are in my head. Anyone that has read my blog over the 4 years that I’ve had it (in various forms, under various names) knows that I speak directly from my heart here. There is no pretentious banter; this is my personal space and I stand on top of it and yell…sometimes loudly.
I used to think that I had to have theme for my blog. I used to believe that my blog had to stand firmly on women’s issues, parenting issues, pop culture, music, movies, television; I don’t think that anymore. Because this is my space, I will say whatever the hell I feel like saying. And I certainly do not worry if anyone likes it or not. Those days are far behind me.
Do I sound different? I am…and I’m all the better for it. Storms will shape your character, and I tell you, I must be one of the strongest people I know because the storm that I have gone through was a son of a bitch. I stand in the land of milk and honey now; I don’t see anymore clouds or rain, only sunshine and green grass.
I welcome all of you back here that sent me messages of support. Let’s get to this, shall we?

yay to all of it!!
Hi IW (waving)…I missed you!
I am SO HAPPY you are back . Though I saw you floating around twitter here and there I rarely caught anyone in a timely fashion over there. I indeed did miss you. A blog, it gets you through the day or the week. I think it does that for many people. I call the blog “my addendum”, a catharsis. Lucky us…our grandparents had nothing like it…;)
Hi Coop! This is indeed my addendum…which is why I had to come back. It is like breathing for me…
I’m glad to be back…and glad to re-connect with all of my online fam…
I know the feeling girl. When I deleted my blog I had also started school, work was hectic and I just didn’t want to tempt myself. I lasted 2 maybe 3 months before I put it back up. It’s like crack, gotta have it there even if I don’t put anything on it.
I felt closed in without her. I felt like Tyrone Biggums without her. I felt like I was cutting off my right hand.
So she had to come back. Even if it is to sit here and remind me that I need to write.
