For a while now I have been wanting to start a blog. So today I have. I haven't written since college English. My English teacher once told me that I wrote the most pointless stories that she has ever heard. But thats okay because one of the funniest people I have ever known couldn't read or write but he "TOLD" some of the most pointless stories I ever heard. My grandpa's stories were always funny. Pointless, but funny. He died 8 years ago from bone cancer. I knew he was going to die when he stopped telling stories. One day he just stopped.
I used to write. I wrote stories, poems, and in a diary. I wrote all kinds of silly pointless stories. I justed loved to write. I can't pin point when, but one day it just stopped. I'm not sure why. Maybe my pen ran outta ink, or I broke my number 2 pencil lead. I could have lost my loose leaf paper, or maybe somewhere I just lost me. I don't know why all I know is that I stopped doing what I loved. I would really like to get back into doing what I love. (And perhaps torture a few people along the way) So this is my feeble attempt to get back to what I love.
I'll just go ahead and tell those of you who don't know, my family is a bunch of kooks. Where we live, we call it 'Greens Acres', because something silly and cartoonish usually happens here. And Don, poor, poor Don, I seemed to have dragged him into my kookiness. He was normal when I married him. Poor Guy!
My blogs will probably be "Seinfeld" blogs. Blogs about nothing in particular- my family, kids, church, couponing or just my crazy life. If you are in my family, I consider you fair blogging game. Sorry Don!!

I'm intrigued already! Props to you for honoring your Grandfather's tradition...usually pointless stories have meaningful, underlying lessons to be found subliminally in the midst of humor. I look forward to many more :) I, myself, daydream of an anonymous blog I write in which I'm able to be completely candid about my feelings & experiences...For some reason, some how, I feel like I'll be given more credit/respect in such a fashion. Who knows? But regardless, I think you have alot to teach the world. Good Luck oxox
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I have a blog too...I'm just not ready to share it with the world yet :0) Funny...I have it posted on the WWW but I'm not ready to let people know it is me!!
ReplyDeleteStephanie, us kooky writers have to stick together. If you ever need someone to bounce an idea or story off of, drop me a line -- you know I don't sleep!
