The Blog Beginning~

This is my first entry and suddenly the woman that never shuts up is at a loss for words. Can you blame me? What I write, is sent into the eternity of cyberspace for anyone who wants to read my deepest thoughts. Okay, so I could make my blog private, but that's dumb. My thoughts are not that deep anyway. My blog will just be an expression of my not so deep thoughts and ideas. I guess if I look at it that way, blogging is another way of expressing ideas, like painting or story telling. blah, blah, blah,

What was that about being at loss for words?

Who am I kidding? I'm southern woman. Talking is an art form. Give me a tall glass of super sweet ice tea, a pack of smokes, and I can talk for as long as takes the government to fill a pothole in New Orleans.

Hey, I think I'm funny too.

Don't get me wrong. There is special place in my heart for New Orleans. It's the place right next to my stomach. New Orleans, by far, has the best food in the world, but that is a whole other blog. Back to the trials of the Big Easy~~ The first thing I realized when I moved back to to New Orleans is there was some mighty big reasons I left in the first place. Corrupt Politicians, pot holes that deepen by the day, and public schools that teach semi-smart kids how to be competely illiterate are just a few of the reasons I wanted out. However, I must admit the most annoying thing about being from Nawalins' is that everyone knows your momma. You can't go to the store on the way to work with out someone asking you, "how is your mom and them?" This may sound charming, but it isn't for someone who is perpetually late and doesn't enjoy explaining the last seven years of my life before I have had my morning cup a joe and 15 cigarettes. One more thing, maybe I'm crazy, but why doesn't anyone ever ask about my Daddy? ~~Anyway~~

This blog is my way of venting, thinking and hopefully improving my creative writing. I do have a long term goal of writing a book one day that actual sells a few copies. Before I go, I must give credit to the "New Yorker" who "learned" me about blogging.

Well, Have a good one.

Y'all take care and tell your Mom and them I said hello.
