... I think I'm going to unplug for a few months. I don't know why I'm writing this here because quite frankly I haven't added to my blog for almost a year. In fact I've never added to it other than my very first one.

Why would I 'unplug' you ask? (Noone will ask but it makes me feel better thinking that someone actually would!)

Well to answer your unasked questions:

- I think I need to.
- I need to cool off and let things subside
- Hundreds of miles' distance between people really, and truly sucks.
- I don't want to hurt people I love.
- Looking for acceptance, and a sense of worth online is a fruitless endeavour. These things can only come in the real world.
- There is no substitute for face to face communication, and webcams don't help either.
- It's too easy to let emotions build for someone you've never met, and pretty painful trying to rid yourself of them.

and...

- I have to lick my wounds in an 'un-digital-like' fashion.

I just don't know. I'm just going to go to work and try to forget.

After a lot of thought and encouragement from others I've finally decided to start my own blog.

One of my apprehensions about blogging was my apparent difficulty in getting the thoughts out of my head, down to my fingers, and onto the screen. See... I suck at typing, and by the time my fingers cooperate and enter in my thought I'm already somewhere else, or worse yet, don't like what I've just typed for whatever reason. It's a bizarre, and viscious cycle that't happens every time I have to manually put something down on paper (or on screen).

I hoped that by now voice recognition software would be at the level needed to give me my on-screen voice I despeartely crave, but it's not. Maybe I should just hire a sexy secretary? You know the kind... high heels, stockings with garters, short skirt, blouse unbuttoned just right, hair pullled up, and sultry eyes peering through a pair of sexy-smart glasses, with perfectly glazed lips teasing the end of the pen she uses to jot down my rants and musings....

.... I digress

Soo... welcome, and stay tuned!! Hopefully it'll be cathartic for me, and somewhat entertaining for you.
