why blog at all…

From time to time when reading some blogs I’m struck by the thinly veiled voice of the self-absorbed. I’m guilty of this so I’m thinking about what information should be shared.

I’m going with “not much” for now.

Take care folks,

p.s. this is the reason you will not get an invitation to a facebook page and I will not be a Twit you may follow.

Fifty…

HBTM!

Adventures and changes…

In the past thirty days:

Reduced principal on mortgage 6%;

Refinanced mortgage with 30% reduction in P&I;

Applied for admission Spring 2010 University of Oklahoma;

Received promotion to Department Supervisor;

Part-time to full-time with increase in wages (two digits %).

I travel down the various rabbit trails which wind through the web. I read blogs and come away with the feeling that too much energy is applied to contrived, affected, self-important and self-absorbed postioning of opinions and thoughts (and I’m not talking about the tin foil hat wingnuts and haters).

So, when I mentioned becoming more transparent in a previous post it does not mean I will “bear all” in this blog. That will never happen.

It means dealing with the discomfort of change in habits and routine=challenges and growth.

There.

Thanks for checking in.

Blog changes…

I have changed the title of the blog to my name.

The reference to Jean-Paul Sartre will remain.  Google it.

The run-together abbreviated title was partly due to matching the domain name of my active site (marshansen.com) after losing my eponymous site when I was not well a fews years ago and partly a way of hiding. Well, it’s not a very clever disguise considering I have blogged enough information for the average seventh grader to pinpoint my home on Google Earth. The blog address is the same – http://marshansen.wordpress.com/

This may affect someone’s search on Google but I think it will be okay. Anyway, more transparency will result in more accountability.

There are more revisions coming with appearance, contents organized, tags simplified, Art and home projects more detailed, etc.

Any thoughts?
