drama llama..

November 9, 2009 Uncategorized, internet, my bitchy self

Do you know what a drama llama is?

Do you?

No? Well.. let me tell you…

drama llama -  definition- A person who randomly throws their drama on others,in the same way a llama randomly spits.

Every time I turn around there is something new being spewed out there. .  blog drama, twitter drama.  Blah blah douchey blah.

Seriously,  what I have seen is snobbery to the extreme – To me, if you are more concerned with appearing “popular” than listening and learning from people, sharing and expanding your followers -  I have NO time for you.  When did Twitter become so “elite”

I’m finding that I feel like I do not have a place here on the twitterverse.. and kind of in the bloggy world.  Perhaps it’s the emotional crapola I am going through?

I must bore you to tears when all of you 6 readers come to read a post.  Heh.I was asked why I even blogged then – well…I never have claimed to be a writer like some -  I just blog to share my heart.. just to share my heart.

Randomness.. part III

Hmm – I think I’ll start something new.  I know, I know – it’s the lazy way to blog ..  However, I’m going to start doing bullet points of my week.

I’ve learned this week that :

• Independence is a good thing. I’m at the point in my life that I will NOT be a follower, just because. I personally find it pathetic to read tweets of from people who just jump on a bandwagon to fit in.  I roll my eyes OFTEN at this.

• It takes more energy to be mad than it does happy.  I’m tired of trying to be super mom,wife,friend..  I’m working on just being happy – and maybe those areas will become more manageable and less heartachey and stressful.

• I’m going to put myself out there more. I’m going to work on more social networking and blogging. I know my experiences with loss and life can be used in a positive way.

• I am going to be true to me.. I’m going to make some life changing decisions soon.

• I need to read more blogs .. Shannon over  at http://bluepaintred.com/ wrote a great post.   I love her honesty..  I want to squish and hug her..

• Writing a post like this is easy.. while there is thought put into it – it’s like a vegetarian of a post – not a lot of meat.. heh.

It looks like I have missed my one year blogging (on this blog, some of you know me from another) anniversary! Happy Anniversary to me! I am SO glad I do have this outlet.. now if I would only use it more..

must you whine so much?

August 19, 2009 duh, internet, my bitchy self, snarky

Seriously -

If you are going to have a blog – don’t whine about people stumbling upon it and reading it.   And by people, I mean the WRONG people. Bosses, ex husbands, CURRENT husbands, families.

I am SO tired of reading people’s crybaby, boohoo whining about being found out. Sweet MOTHER, this is the INTERNET. Google, people – GOOGLE!

Recently, my blog was found and I had to reconsider what I had posted – I dealt with it and moved on.

Yes, it’s a blog and inherently public. Clearly, this is going to eat away at you, so you have to make a decision about how you are going to deal with it, So either delete your blog – make it a password protected blog or just quit yammerin’..

Maybe I’m totally WAY off base here – but uh.. I don’t think so.

Uh, really? Seriously?

Just a few random observations this week..

* Wearing socks with sandals? Uh, not so much. Even if you are gorgeous..

*Just because you are a size 2, that gives you ABSOLUTELY no right to attempt to get in front of me in the checkout lane. I WILL run you over with my cart.

*Speaking of a size 2 – yeah, so what if I – as a chubby girl, buy icecream.. I AM going to eat it. Don’t judge me.

*Uh, really – seriously? All this outrage over Kate spanking Leah. (from the horrible reality show, Jon and Kate plus eight) Don’t get me started on this topic.

*I called you on Father’s Day – you haven’t called me back.  No matter what, I am always your daughter.  Oh, I  know you love me.  Can you not take the time to show it?

*Road rage doesn’t solve anything, it just makes me slow down even more.. asshat

I shall leave you with this..

Guest Post: Letter for Chrissi

June 19, 2009 bloggity goodness, internet

Hi! I’m Shash from Diary of a Crazed Mommy. Chrissi asked me if I would guest post while she is off mackin’ spending time with her Hubby. Had I not LOST her login information, this would have been up much sooner. But, Hey! I finally DID find it so here is my small contribution to the awesomeness that is Tres Hearts.

The other day Avitable celebrated his Blogiversary and asked “What do you like most about blogging?” And my reply was:

What I love about blogging is the ability to find like-minded (and sometimes not so) people in the blogosphere. I find I have many an Ah-HA! moment reading blogs. It has been a Godsend to me, on so many levels.

I also enjoy the meeting of blog authors too. I have found some of the most amazing people to ever enter my life here on the Internet.

Chrissi is one of those people for me. I can’t wait for the day I get to meet her in person. Her writing inspires me, and her pain over the loss of her child is palpable and heartbreaking. Her strength to get up each day, put both feet on the floor and move forward fills me with such awe. I honestly don’t know if I could do it. I’d like to think I could, but I’m not so sure. All I know is it fills me with happiness when a post from her blog shows up in my feed reader. Even when her posts are sad, or reflective, or even angry, her writing is beautiful.

I’m just honored she even lets us in to read it at all.

So thank you, Chrissi, for sharing your family and your life with us. I can’t wait to meet you in person someday.

Enjoy your vacation!

Love,

Shash

Who made YOU Queen Bee?

June 8, 2009 internet

There’s a very small percentage of bloggers that let this whole  blogging/ twitter following go to their heads.  They act like they have an exclusive club and nobody else is welcome.

I do have to say that 99% of bloggers are not like this.  But that 1% that is .. it just makes me stabby.

Uhm, excuse me? What. The. Hell. Are we back in high school?

I have talked to a few bloggers about this – and one asked if I felt like I wasn’t accepted by these few bloggers/tweeters. (insert snorting laughter here)

I do NOT need acceptance from the bloggy world. I am a confident person.

What my bitch is about – is the fact that some of the people who blog treat this like it’s a sorority. If you don’t have 1000 followers or 500 readers a day – well, then – you just are NOT good enough.

Do I blog because I want half of the internets to follow me – no.. I blog because it’s an outlet for me. A way to voice how I feel without pissing the person off that I am directly talking to. I write what is in my heart.. at that moment.  I write about something that has happened that day.  I write about my loss of a child. I write about my marriage and the miles in between our hearts.  I don’t need acceptance.

Outside of this wide world of internet web, I have many many friends. If I am not accepted into your cliquey little blogging group – oh well.   And if you truly took the time to get to know ME , you.. YOU would have a forever friend. Just sayin’..

So really – it’s NOT my loss. .Quite the contrary, actually.

ps.. This isn’t about ONE person in particular – as I said it’s a VERY small portion of the blogs I read. I have been touched by SO many  people. Inspired by SO many people.

Jon and Kate = hate

June 4, 2009 internet, my bitchy self, snarky

I AM so over this show.

Recently, tabloids and gossip slingers have accused Jon of cheating and Kate of becoming close to her bodyguard.

Bloggers tear apart Kate’s new hairdo and Jon’s flaws are also being loudly pointed out, his alleged cheating, his lack of support for Kate.

Bottom line?

TLC needs to pull the plug on this show. Jon and Kate (plus the eight) need to be a family. Without the cameras. Without the magazines and papparazi.

They owe their celebrity status to those beautiful children. They owe their wealth and livelihood to the fact someone thought it would make an interesting one-time documentary, and TLC jumped on it and ran with it.  Holy shities, have they ever..

Now they owe it to their kids to STOP the show and stop exploiting them. But they won’t do it. They’ll let us watch their marriage fall apart on air.

That is SO horrible.. I refuse to watch it.

People are commenting on how much alimony Jon will have to pay – what about the counseling for that many children?

Why do YOU blog?

February 21, 2009 bloggity goodness, internet

I read oodles and oodles of blogs.  Some I love to read and some I just come back to read because I am drawn in by their lives. Sucky or not..

I’ve read blogs where blogger whore out themselves… or whore out their families. Share the most deepest of all deep and yet,revolting at times, but I still read them..  WHAT’S WRONG WITH ME? Addicted to blogs you say?

Some blogs I’ve read are SO negative and “me me me” blogs that I want to poke my eyeballs out.. but it’s all good, right? It’s THEIR blog and if they want to look like asshats, who I am I to say?

There are blogs that are so touching – so inspiring and thought provoking that when I grow up and become a real blogger – they, yes THEY will be my blog mentors..

There are anonymous blogs and blogs that people are real on.. Which is better?

So – why do YOU blog? What do you hope to gain? Do you hope to be recognized for your writing skills? ( not happenin’ here, I promise you that!! )  Or is it for social reasons?

Yes, do tell.. WHY do YOU blog?

Take the time to read, please.

February 3, 2009 grief, internet

This week at 5 minutes for special needs, I was honored to be able to write a post that came from the deepest parts of my heart.The part that hurts the most and reminds me daily of who I am.

Whether this affects you personally or you know someone who has lost a child, please – PLEASE take time to read this.

I hope to continue to write, I love it – am I good at it? No, probably not. However, I know that I am able to share my heart and within that perhaps I can touch at least one heart along the way.

So please. Go read it ! Oh, and input – would be GREAT.
