It has been a STRANGE Day

Today, and I really don't know WHY, I feel strangely fortunate. It strikes
me as highly bizarre, mainly because I always tend to see the bad rather
than the good. Everything seems to go wrong, and I am always sinking more
deeply into the mire. I'm spinning my wheels and getting deeper and deeper
into the mud.

Yet, today it doesn't feel that way. I do not know why. Is it because we
managed to get all the horses' hooves done? I've not heard from my
publisher of choice-- is this a good sign, feeling good for a change? I've
been having an occasional B&J wine cooler. That's not affected me in such a
way. Is it because I advanced to the "Second round" interview?

Or is it because I have freed myself from the last job--even though my
unemployment benefits were denied, and I believe incorrectly?
Is it because it is Summer, and summer is a great time of year?

IS it because I have put behind me the lying bastards from the last job? Is
it because I have finally managed to do that?
Or is it because I have finally managed to put all the bitterness behind me?

Whatever it may be, whatever has caused it-- I sure hope it continues for a
while. It's nice to feel good for a change. It's nice to see blue skies
and sunny days. It is a strange feeling to have, after years of nothing but
gloom. But it is certainly a wonderful change.

It's kind of sad that it's Tuesday, though... If it were Wednesday, I'd go
buy a lottery ticket. :)

For a change, a good feeling-- AS I SEE IT.

July 14, 2007 A day of renewal

After some thought, and some debate with myself, I have started over in my blogging. I have begun anew for several reasons, but not because I was tired or even bored. I simply determined that in order for me to go as I plan, I must clear and renew.

I have been victimized by my own words, as OTHERS see them. That is, of course, AS I SEE IT.

So, to eliminate the possibility of being mis-understood again, to eliminate the anti-blogger feeling: I said, "I must start anew."

My rants and ramblings will continue... I will continue to discuss and rant about politics, life in general and the unfairness of it. I will continue to do my thing...although my "Thing" is going to be a bit less drastic than before.

I had some things that I said (or written) that I could have just removed, I suppose...but it would be a long go-through to find and remove them all. The best thing is to start over.

If only it was so easy to do it with life.

For those of you who have enjoyed reading my stuff, thanks. For those of you who didn't--or found it intimidating, or threatening... well, consider this your chance to see a different side of me, a gentler side. But remember, I am NOT going to change into Miss Manners!

Life may have thrown me a curve-- but I am going to hit a home-run.

So, once again: Welcome to the Blog called "As I see it"... and enjoy.

And, if Ancient Clown stops in: Drop me a note. I want to add that blog back to this one--you know the ad, right? :)
