Just trying to find myself

So I finally decided I'm going to try this blogging thing. Yes, I'm a little late, what the hell! And yes, the name of the blog is from the famous line in Ferris Bueller where Ben Stein says so beautifully:

"In 1930, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, in an effort to alleviate the effects of the ... Anyone? Anyone? ... the Great Depression, passed the ... Anyone? Anyone? The tariff bill? The Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act? Which, Anyone? Raised or lowered? ... Raised tariffs, in an effort to collect more revenue for the federal government.. Did it work? Anyone? Anyone know the effects? It did NOT work, and the united States sand keeper into the Great Depression. Today we have a similar debate over this. Anyone know what htis is? Class? Anyone? Anyone? Anyone seen this before? The Laffer Curve. Anyone know what this says? It says that at this point on the revenue curve, you will get exactly the same amount of revenue as at this point. This is very controversial. Does ANYONE know what Vice President Bush called this in 1980? ANYONE? Something -d-o-o economics. "Voodoo" economics."

That cracks me up everytime! I name my blog this because sometimes I wonder if ANYONE thinks or feels the same way I do and if there would be anyone that would understand me.

I don't even know what the tone of this blog should be, but I know I have a whole lotta useless thoughts in my head that I don't always feel I can verbally express. So why not do it here. Someone may have the same mindset and relate. And ... as the title of the blog suggests, maybe there isn't anyone out there and it's just me. That I can live with. I just know that there are times when I want so bad to say things out loud and luckily my good midwestern, Norwegian, Lutheran backgroud stops me from saying them and they just bottle up inside. I figure, this may be a good place to let them out.

Don't get me wrong, they aren't necessarily rants .... like "why the hell is Matt Lauer interviewing Tiger Woods hos, er I mean, mistresses? Hasn't he had his "Charlene Tilton" moments enough in the past year to move on to something more respectable?"

Sometimes, they are just observances, like .... "a little styrofoam cup.... hmmm". Ok, that one I should have kept to myself many years ago, because I have this wonderful friend whom I said it to and she NEVER lets me forget it. But I guess that's what great about having friends you totally trust and love ... you say stupid things out loud and they get to continually remind you of them! I love you, Renee!

Anyway, I think overall, I will just try to keep the tone of my blog light and fun. More than anything, I want it to reflect who I really am ... not always who others see everyday of me. That is me, but not the whole me!
