The future of This Blog?
I have no idea what I am going to do with this blog. Some how (and I have no idea why) this blog continues to retain higher Google rankings than any of my other blogs.
For this, I thank those who were kind enough to link to me. These links are the only explanation. I continue to read and enjoy each and everyone of your blogs.
I do still have a few political/economics based subjects I plan to explore and write about; but for now, my brain is taking a break from that type of thinking, and concentrating on more logical subjects.
When I was young, and expressed an interest in becomming a computer programmer, my Dad was concerned. I know this sounds strange, but at that time he had a good friend who had recently gone completely whacko. My dad was of the belief, that the cause was an inability to make the transition, from the completely logical world of the computer, to the illogical world that we are all required to function in on a daily basis.
I once wondered if I was at risk of the same fate. However, more recently I have had to acknowledge that it is not necessarily the lack of logic in other people's political/economical thinking which is the cause of my frustration with the subject; but rather the lack of logic in much of my own thinking.
I often resort to "gut feeling" or emotion, to form my view. This impedes with my logic. When I see this I try to then use logic, only to discover that there are too many unknowns to form any sort of conclusion I can really stick to once I see the data being used to support the opposite view.
There is too much information, and most of it is designed to manipulate how I think rather than just give me the facts.
I have two things in my head right now that I want to write.
One is my tax plan. I think I have a good idea, that balances what is "fair" with what is "economically workable" (Totally Fair didn't come out to economically workable).
The other is a myspace code generator, for a round table style friend space, to deal with the top friend issue. I have it all designed in my head. It uses multiple marquees to create the effect of movement around a circle.
(JavaScript would be so useful here, but I do understand why myspace blocks it. There will always be those who choose to use power for evil rather than good. Blogger does NOT block it, they block in on individual blog posts, but I was able to get it into my template, and then call it from a specific blog post.)
I will be moving some of my myspace related articles, that I had moved off of this blog, back onto this blog.
They will not show up at the top.
I will be using the ability to modify (lie about) the date, to attempt to put them in a logical order.
Perhaps a blog is not the best format for this sort of thing, but blogger is free, and I have already started down this path.)
Once they are all on the same blog, it will be easier to leverage the blogger search tool to search for specific items.
I am going to start a table of contents, on my side bar. It will take me a while to get it organized.

Hey,
Just curious.. do you still read the Cat Woman Blog? I know at one point, we were both kinda despaired by the whole thing.
I've since discovered, she LOVES living in misery- it's a personal choice. It's like she wants to have no friends, but instead, mean, uncaring people to bitch about like it's all their fault.
A lot of the whining and woe-is-me material that she thrives on is a device of her own creation. She actually has it much better than a lot of people, but likes to focus on the negative, and constantly dwell on her troubled past. She always casts off and ignores good things in her life, unless of course, it's some cat.
I'm just hoping that you are aware, because I know, reading her blog- it's like you want to do something to help...or something. (or maybe slit your wrists, I dunno.) But, I tell you in all seriousness, don't waste your time or mental capacity. Some people are happy in misery, and she is definitely one of them.
I don't read her stuff that often, but sometimes as I am checking out the "local" blogs I see her articles, and click on them.
I think it was the point, after she left behind the awful uncaring people of Corvallis, only to realize just how wonderful they really were compared to the awful uncaring people of Albany, that I came to the same conclusion you have come to.
But none of us really know what goes on in another person's head.
If misery is all one knows, and one gains sympathy for that misery, and this sympathy becomes the most positive form of attention they get, then seeking sympathy can very easily become a life habit.
(And I say this, having almost fallen into the same pattern, at a point in my own life).
She helps cats, so she does add value. Maybe that is her purpose.
Definitely... the cat rescue is great and is certainly her reason to be. She's made that clear and I do admire that-
