it’s allll about motivation, baby!

blogstuff, it's all about me Add comments

Why, hello! I am reminded I have a blog. So hello, blog! Nice to see you again. Have I been avoiding you? No not at all why yes, actually. But it’s not you, it’s me. I mean it baby! You have many fine qualities. I am sure you will find another blogger soon. Very soon. One with motivation. One who loves you enough to post every day, just like in the old days. One who updates your links and looks at your stats. One who loves you enough to tell you when you’re getting fat and then updates your theme.

…What? Well, yeah, maybe I can still be your blogger. I mean, we do have a history, don’t we? Two years of posting regularly, and four years before that of holding onto a blog name with a couple of really old and lame posts. Something about a trip to a dentist. I mean, what was that?? We’ve come a long way together, you and me. I can’t exactly forget all we have been to one another now, can I?

So okay. I’ll give us another shot.

Yeah. Well.

See, early last week I was told Strollerderby no longer had need of my services. They were going in another direction, and it didn’t include me (what? bitter? me? noooo…)  So, having spent approximately 3,209,577 hours in the past year trolling the internets for stories for Strollerderby, thinking about stories to write for Strollerderby and my angle on them, writing said stories for Strollerderby, queueing them up (for Strollerderby) checking stats later and counting posts, plus the all-important back-chat with my fellow Strollerderby bloggers, I sorta associate my laptop and indeed ALL computers with Strollerderby now. And nobody likes getting fired. It sorta hurts. So I have been discovering a world outside those 3,209,577 hours: hey! there are other things you can do with the internets! Like…buy things! (oh. sorry. nope, can’t do THAT without a JOB). And…look stuff up! Interesting stuff! (If you know of any let me know) And….oh look, I am making a new website! (coming soon)

So yeah. Associating writing with Strollerderby with the burning pain of being fired (better check out those burning-type pains, just in case…antibiotics maybe?), I have not exactly wanted to write much lately. It’s MUCH easier to simply ignore said pains and pretend they aren’t there.

So here is what else I am doing:

  • Getting ready to give a metaphysical workshop in Tucson AZ in 2 weeks. Wanna go?
  • Getting rid of lots of STUFF. It is time, for a variety of reasons. I am starting with Waldorf-craft and knitting books, since there is little likelihood I will be needing them any time soon.
  • Lots of channeling. My work is taking me in new directions, a life of its own, blah blah blah. Sometimes you just have to go where life takes you.

And this is what I am NOT doing:

  • Cooking. Why do people need to eat every day anyway? Several times a day, even? What’s up with that?
  • Eating. See above. Seriously, what’s the point?
  • Cleaning. See above. You just have to do it again the next time. I mean, what’s UP with that? The short people here can do some of it anyway.

So anyway, that’s me. What have YOU been up to? Spill it! I want to know!

    Well, it’s true that it seems you have been neglecting us. And what is your new site’s name going to be?

    Sorry about getting fired or let go because they went in a different direction. Let go sounds better and less hurtful. Little ones do create too much cleaning for one adult to handle. I don’t clean either. Are you sure you want to get rid of your knitting books? Knitting is addictive and well I can think of 100 reasons why not to get rid of them. Hope you have better weeks ahead!

    Lame Strollerderby. Lame.

    Good to see you back though.

    Cooking, cleaning, who needs it? What is really important right now are my toenails. I look like a chippy whore in need of a good pedicure.

    As soon as the minions are napping, I am breaking out the F*&# me red polish.

    Priorities woman, priorities.

    Glad I found you. Devistated to see you gone from Strollerderby but they are lame. I only went there for you and Kelly Mills….. I assume she’ll be next…?!

    You don’t know me, but I was a big Strollerderby reader. I missed CityMama when she left, but in the past couple of weeks, I’ve really noticed a dramatic decrease in my enjoyment of Strollerderby (most of the men and women I loved to read are now gone).

    I think Strollerderby has made a huge mistake in moving away from contributors who were “parents that happened to be cool” to contributors who are “edgy people that happen to be parents.” I won’t be going back.

    I just thought I’d let you know.

    Thanks, ya’ll (I’m in the airport right now in Atlanta so I am contractually obligated to speak Atlantese). Means a lot.

    xoxo
