Kudos to the Soul

I recently moved to China, and blogs are not exactly accessible. Neither is Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Hulu, or any other fun websites. Google and Gmail also do not play well with China.

I was slightly panicked that I would not figure out how to access any of my blogs. How would people know how many miles I’ve run on my thousand-mile journey? How would my friends know what is happening in China? One small part of my brain was hoping that I would not figure out a method. Who really cares what I do, anyway? No one reads these things. I would be off the hook! I wouldn’t have to write.

However, a larger part of my brain knew better. Oh, and my soul also knew better. I slothed through internet jibberish to figure some things out. You are reading this entry, so I succeeded. Let’s just say that I know much, much more about VPNs now.

Thank you, Soul, for knowing me well enough to make me figure it out. I should listen to you more often.

Next Blog, Next Story, Please

When I should be writing my own stuff, I find myself perusing other people’s blogs. I keep clicking “Next Blog” to see what pops up. What else is out there?

Some stuff is just crap. I’m not kidding. I make my share of mistakes, but I at least try to put out a good piece. If you can’t put together a few complete sentences, WHY ARE YOU BLOGGING? Don’t embarrass yourself! I’m quite judgmental, but Microsoft Word created spell checks and grammar checks for a reason. If you decide to break grammar rules, it better be for a reason, and it better be effective!

The God blogs abound! So many people feel God is working miraculously in their lives. I respect this, I do, but those religious folks are DED-I-CAT-ED! They actually keep on their posts, which just irks me. Strike one! They are also grammatically correct. Strike two! I’m completely jealous that God or Allah or Yahwey is on their side. Strike three! I can’t click “Next Blog” quickly enough. I’m certain eternal damnation awaits me.
