Well, hello.
Part of me is ever so slightly nauseous…a mental nausea if you will….because typing this means that I am contemplating what it would be like to have all of my dirty little secrets go viral. Many of you keep your secrets and your dirty laundry to yourself…never daring to allow anyone in to this private aspect of your lives. Good for you. I am not like that. Not that I think I am better than you…I mean, I may, depending on who you are…but I am exposing myself for two reasons:
1) My life sucks as you will come to realize after reading some of these blogs. Humor is huge for me to get through life without a straight jacket and without handcuffs. My ability to be sarcastically witty (at least I think so) is your idea of popping a Xanax. Without writing and blogging and airing out all my shit on to the world wide web…I would be scribbling notes on paper napkins from my cell in some institution. If you don’t like my content, don’t find me as funny as I find myself…or are just simply not interested in what I am saying…kindly close out of this browser and go inundate yourself and co-workers with pictures of cute kittens, dogs, and laughing babies.
2) I am hoping that my demise will either give you hope that you too can get through a shitty situation, provide an excuse for you to say to yourself, “damn, my life isn’t that bad,” or give you some general guidelines for what not to do in certain situations.
I mean…I am seriously just a regular person who happens to be cursed with too much empathy for every scumbag on the planet, never will give myself any credit, am overwhelmed with the beautiful joy of parenting as a single mom, have a seriously disgusting track record in the relationship department, and am overall just looking for other people to appreciate the difficulties people like me go through…or cause for ourselves…either way. Oh, and I am going through a divorce…I know, just like the rest of America…but, I am doing mine without anti-depressants, Xanax, or hard liquor. I know, I know…I am a rebel. Obviously without a cause.
So, on that note…enjoy.
