My Beginning

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog. This is my first ever blog and I'm new to this whole thing, so we'll just have to see where this goes. I can't promise a laugh or a cry in every read but for those of you who pop by, welcome :)

First things first. I think I need to explain my blog name. This name was inspired by an episode of Scrubs. The direct quote is from Dr. Cox who after tiring of hearing everyone's troubles that day jumps up and sarcastically becomes an award show host saying: "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the first annual Sacred Heart Who-Carsies Awards, designed to honor those people who believe that others actually give a rat's @$$ about the minutia of their lives." (pardon the rude word).

Go Dr Cox! Isn't that just what this is all about? Sure, some people really have a purpose to their blogs but for most of us it is simply sharing the minutia of our lives. Blogging is inviting people into your little life, such as it is. We share our feelings, random thoughts, and funny anecdotes for anyone (real or imagined) to read. Who knows if anyone will actually read this blog or any others that I may happen to write, and yet the idea that it is there for people to read if they wish gives me the inspiration to create it.

For me personally, this blog is a bit of a stretch. I'm not one who shares my true feelings and inner thoughts easily -- at least not face to face, even with those who know me well. I don't know why that is... it simply is. For me it will be a way for me to show those who choose to read a bit of myself, real and unguarded -- a form of catharsis if you will.

So... off I set on my little adventure, and in the words of the ghost of Christmas present: "Come in and know me better man!"

Thanks for popping by and I'll see y'all again soon.

Love, M.

P.S. Here's a link to the youtube clip of that scene from scrubs for those of you who may be interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3F0ERe9V7M
