Old Blogs

I had mentioned a few months ago that I couldn't find my camera cord and that I had a ton of pictures that I really wanted to see but couldn't. Not to make a short story long but I really feel like this was an ordeal. But I'll give you a choice:

Short Story: I am able to download my pictures and have done so.

Long Story: First I ordered a replacement cord that blew the USB port, then I cleaned the entire house top to bottom to try and find the original, then I ordered a replacement directly from Fuji, which took some doing, when I got the cord, guess what? It blew the USB port. We searched all of Bowie to find a smart card reader to no avail. Then Cory went and bought another camera for himself so I stole his FUJI and it turned out that it could hold my memory card but just as we found this out, my motherboard fried so we had to put the old in the new. All this took 5 months.

Bottom Line: I have downloaded my pictures and videos. Not all but I'm getting there. Some are on Fun Pictures if you want to see them.

More unnecessary technical info: Verizon will not download my pictures without a struggle so I bypass this by downloading my newsletters and pictures to my old Xanga blog, which has a really good photo host and then I can just insert the html code to here and save space and it works well.

Why did I tell you all this?

So last night I discovered that I could create a whole photo module that you could click on the photo and it would take you to my whole photo blog on Xanga. I was trying to decide whether I wanted people to access my old blog and started looking at some old posts to see if I needed to censor or not. This blog goes back to 2004 and to say there have been many changes in my life would be an understatement.

So why did I tell you all this?

When I was reading some old entries, it struck me that I used to be much funnier. Much, much funnier. And much more real. And much more personal. And much more helpful. And angry, sad, happy, wacky, enthusiastic, etc.... There is a distinct change that I can pin point but won't.

Bottom line (really!) I discovered that I already am really censoring myself, trying to be PC and cynically entertaining. It's obvious that I am worried about repercussions. (imagined, not real) And guess what?

Joke em.

I gotta be me..... I gotta be me.....

Now really, if you made it this far, was it worth it? LOL!

Sorry. Setting a personal reminder. Hope you enjoy the pictures. As soon as Youtube gets my video up, you can see it on the home page. It's my fish in my pond :)

Oh don't worry. Now I can finally do some GOOD videos......stay tuned.
