THE STRAW THAT BROKE THE CAMEL'S BACK

Well...it's official. My first blog post. I thought I'd never make the move. We're talking about a person here who is computer-challenged and always under a time crunch. But I have become such an avid blog reader. I have even become known in some circles as a 'blog groupie.'

And yesterday, thanks to the stupidity, the childishness, and the lack of consideration of one adult 'anonymous' blogger, I was locked out of one of my favorite blogs, BrettCajun, for an indefinite period of time. No more comments. No more interaction with a dear friend. The only way I could remain an active commentator in his blog was by being a regular blogger...not simply a reader. If you are interested in what happened, you can read Brett's post.

That was 'the straw that broke the camel's back.' I opened a blog. All I can say is, "Oh my God! What have I gotten myself into now." I am not sure yet which direction my blog will go but I do have several concepts running through this permanent little circuit attached to my body, called my brain. I chose the blog's title Life's Colorful Brushstrokes because, in part, it speaks about the direction my life is currently going. Lets say I am finally developing my 'creative' side - something I should have done 20 years ago (do you think some of us are slow learners?/LOL). I am currently working on a second Bachelors Degree in Fine Arts, Interior Design.

So with that in mind, you will probably get tidbits about me and my school life (gosh, I sure as hell hope I don't bore you all to death!), perhaps some design advice and tips, a splash of poetry now and then, and a perspective or point of view on life from a 'creative' mind. We will just see how it all gels together. Stay tuned!

Thanks Pete, Steve, and Brett for the blog encouragement and for helping me see that I do have something to say, even if it may be insignificant to some individuals. You are the best!
