Why Do You Blog?

I have been focused lately on making my life more meaningful, in every area. A few months back I was telling someone why I blog and it occurred to me that I have never really known why. Besides the obvious fact that it is a great way to stay connected and it is my family "Scrapournal" =scrapbook+journal. My intentions are at the end of every year to publish our blog into a book for our families yearbook. I am a big journal keeper and have many volumes for many different reasons, 15 to be exact BUT I do not scrapbook so I thought blogging would be a great thing, which it is and it has become a bit of a hobby for me. My quandary has been that I have not wanted this little hobby to consume me nor did I want to have the guilt of "wasting time blogging". The other thing that has pursued my conscience is not wanting to expolite me or my family.... hard not to do. So I have found a middle ground that has worked for me. For me making my blog more meaningful has increased my blogging pleasure. I hope I do not bore you with my random thoughts or ideas and trust me I do pretned to know all the answers (not even close) but a large part of my quality of life comes from making my life more meaningful in every way. So I wanted to pose a question to you few fellow readers, "WHY do YOU blog?"

Politics Shamolitics (edited)

Don't they look good together? I can see it.

Earlier today I posted a rather emotional post, once I cooled down I realized I was ranting. I decided to edit my original post for fear I was being too harsh. What I was trying to say was that politics in general are on my nerves. I will apologize in advance and want to preface this by stating no offense intended to my liberal and democratic friends or family, we are all entitled to our opinions and I respect that. I won't bore you with all my political ideas, I am not smart enough or know enough anyway besides deep down I really hate politics but I do have to say that after watching the democratic convention the last few days (which Hannity says it is the "convention of this country sucks") it has been confirmed to me I am defiantly a conservative and a republican. The outspoken democrats that seem to steal the limelight on prime time TV bug me! Do they ever have anything positive to say, EVER? Though they are stating THEIR opinions, generally THESE democrats are overwhelmingly whinny, negatie, critical, self righteous, fake, full of shallow words and promises and appear to have few things in mind other than taking control of our country's government. They talk about having unity but what it seems they are really after is a monopoly. That would be scary!

John McCain is not my "favorite of all time" candidates, I have issues with him too but there really is no such thing as a perfect politican, he certainly is the lesser of evils and his fundamentals I agree with most, so REPUBLICAN I am through and through!

Go McCain Romney!
