sheepish apologies


I haven't posted for quite awhile and I'm not even sure why. Do you know what I suspect it is though? I think that when I was working, even though I was so busy, my life felt empty...I didn't get time with my kids...I worked evening shift...I didn't hardly see my older daughter at all. I think the blog filled some sort of void in my life.

Now I'm happier and the urge that I used to have to write is gone. But I don't want to quit blogging......or maybe what I should say is that I don't want to lose contact with people. Isn't it strange how people you meet on the internet seem just as real as friends that you have in 'real-life'? Anyway, even though I don't feel a void in my life from not writing, I would feel a void if I lost contact with my friends so I'm going to start blogging again, though I don't know if my blog is going to be very inspired or interestin. Who knows? Maybe I start blogging again, it'll all come back to me. And I'm sorry that I just disappeared without a word. That was rude of me.

A strange thing indeed is blogging.
Real people, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
The words/comments are real, and it is sometinng you read, and in your own way deal with.
I have the idea I will meet up with some people some day. I've no idea how, why or what it might achieve, but there you are..... if someone said all the bloggers you know are down town in a bar I'd probably run ..... I'm not ready yet yet yet, yes.
I have a feeling (for me anyway) it gives me a chance to be someone else or viewed differently; outside my box.Anyway.
I think what you said is very important- keeping contact, and don't let the how interesting is this/my post.... just do it, and keep the lines open.
"If you're driving into town
With a dark cloud above you
Dial in the number
Who's bound to comment to you

Oh honey you turn me on
I'm a radio
I'm a country station
I'm a little bit corny
I'm a wildwood flower
Waving for you
Broadcasting tower
Waving for you

And I'm sending out
This signal here
I hope you can pick it up
Loud and clear
You know I don't like weak women
I get bored so quick
And I don't like strong women
'Cause they're hip to my tricks

Sometimes it's been dirty for dirty
Down the line
But you know
I come when you whistle/comment
When you're loving and kind .....
(lyrics doctored slightly)
Welcome back;-)
Reg, Paddy, Cryano, alan, Browner ........

He was sitting in the lounge of the Empire Hotel
He was drinking for diversion
He was thinking for himself
A little money riding on the Maple Leafs
Along comes a lady in lacy sleeves
She says let me sit down
You know, drinkin' alone's a shame
It's a shame it's a crying shame
Look at those jokers
Glued to that damn hockey game
Hey honey-you've got lots of cash
Bring us round a bottle
And we'll have some laughs
Gin's what I'm drinking
I was raised on robbery

Do continue to come by. I value your readership, friendship and thoughts. Blogging will return when you are ready.

A blog is just a way to fill a need or a hole. That doesn't make it a good thing though, the time could be spent doing better things.

You can always just visit other blogs and leave comments without spending too much time on your own blog. I always enjoyed hearing from you.

rockmother said...

It is your blog so you can write whenever/what you like. I know the feeling though. I get all panicky thinking people will just get bored and disappear if I don't write but look - we are all here - despite your hiatus - we understand! Don't worry x

As you want, when you want.

And I think it's a good thing to ask yourself what need you were meeting with the weblog.

And I say if it's bringing more to your life than it's taking from--then it's good!
That'd be my measuring stick....LOL......you can borrow it if you like.

and I don't live in a very good neighborhood.

I've always figured it was a persons choice to live where they like it. And I've always chosen to live in decent places.

No worries. I did the same; now I'm blogging again, but I will probably stop--I may have 2 jobs in the fall and I will be so busy, but summer break is arriving soon.

I am glad to see you--frequently or infrequently. And yes, we have lives to attend to--it is a good thing. Thanks for coming by, my dear friend.

Enemy of the Republic said...

By the way, that is one cool looking sheep.

Behind Blue Eyes said...

Did I say real people? I didn't mean to. I would love to meet the people I know from the blog but I don't know if I would like to meet everybody all at once. So you and Reginald are the same person?

Reginald-That song is very romantic an a moder sort of way.

Ricardo-Thank you.

BBC-There is nothing wrong with having needs or fllling a hole, as long as it's done constructively, and I think that blogging is constructive as long as you aren't avoiding things that need to be done.

Behind Blue Eyes said...

Rockmother-So you know how I feel then. I guess most people feel this way somewhat.

Mel-I ca't see myself giving it up yet, I can't really forsee a time when I ever would at this point.

BBC-Believe it or not, there are things I like about living here. One of them being the excellent school my daughter attends here. But yes, well probably move someday, The reason it's so bad with starers etc..is because I live right by the courthouse and the hospital. But that's also the reason it's good, I live so close to the police station, the courthouse, the hospital, the school and a big curch that it makes it unlikely that anyone would try to get away with anything, they would be too likely to be seen.

Enemy-Two jobs, Yikes!! Lets not lose contact.

Ab said...

hehe... good to see u back, and good to hear yr happy!

and ya, blog buddies you might never have met, but they form a really big part of yr life!

Chris Benjamin said...

no worries, and no pressure. i once apologized to a friend who i'd been out of touch with and he said, 'i don't wanna be a high maintenance friend, no worries.' same applies to this realm.

Behind Blue Eyes said...

Ab and Benji-Thanks you guys!

It's okay. Most of the time people go in cycles. This is a medium for you, should you decide to use it. You know where we are, for the most part. When you feel like visiting, drop by. It's all good.
