Oops

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

I missed a day. Oh, well, I’m beginning to believe that blogging is just journaling by another name. Since I don’t journal, it can only be a conspiracy of the people who sell all of those books at Barnes and Noble that have no writing in them. So, I’ll continue to stay on here for a little while longer just so I can say that I was not manipulated into killing another tree. So, there.

Day two and counting

OK, I have only one response to my first blog and I know where that one came from. I’m not ready to spend a lot of time on this yet but I’m sure I will.

I’m getting PO’d. I just spent several minutes typing. I previewed what I typed and when I came back to edit it, it was gone. I’m not sure I understand this BLOGGING (another made-up word FCS!) I’m going to be very surprised when I get a comment from someone other than my beloved Earnestine.

I’ve been sitting here listening to her talk about branding (nope, she doesn’t want me to brand her. She would probably like to brand me, though.) She’s talking about us being our own brands and that we need to learn to sell ourselves (I might not get much. I’m a old model.) So, let’s see – Earnest D. Cember. Hmmm. Maybe I’d better change my name before I go on the market.

Somebody find me and comment!!!!

Here goes nothing

OK, here I am with my first posting ever in my life. First, I have to say I don’t like made up words, like BLOG! The term “web logging” makes more sense and is easier to hear, but I understand that we have gotten very lazy and will make every effort to shorten words.

Regardless, I have now entered the world of blogging and we shall see how long it lasts. I have read very few blogs so I’m not sure how it is supposed to work. I guess I’ll just wing it. I generally don’t journal or write letters so this is pretty unusual and uncomfortable. I’m sure I can do it, though.

The first problem that arises is whether or not I have anything to say that you or anyone else would care about. For a long time now I have been helping folks to learn how to live better. As a counselor I get to see their souls and help them find themselves.

I guess I really do have something to say. I hope there’s someone out there who is interested in listening. If not, I won’t do much more of this “blogging” stuff.
