I can't seem to get the hang of blogging. I've had a lot of Serious Stuff on my mind lately and thus haven't really been in the mood for blogging and pretending to be all happy and upbeat. Heh. I know a lot of you people write blogs that have a "theme" or better, a purpose. Like Saturday Sequins has her beading stuff, and Health Amateur focuses on health. I need a bloggie purpose. Except that I tend to have MANY interests and can't just pick one. Will it be running? Will it be writing? Will it be any number of obsessions I have? Will it be healthy eating? Will it be international recipes? And if I do any of those, do I still get to write ominous Vacation-gone-wrong posts and movie reviews? :D I kind of like the whole self-improvement thing, like from the perspective of deep breathing, morning writing pages, running, healthy eating, etc. Will think on this some more!
On another subject...
This is the 100th Anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. If you don't know me by now, let me just say that I am Titanic history obsessed, and so this has been my WEEKEND. The television stations are filled with programs about the Titanic, that famous, big film from 1997 with Leo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet has come back in the theater (in 3D, which is kind of annoying, I'm not a 3D person at all), and there are all kinds of cool things. My Titanic obsession got me through a bad period of time in the fall of 2008, so it just has all this emotional stuff surrounding it for me.
Random Titanic Fact: Cats were considered good luck on ships AND they helped control the rodent population. There were no cats on the Titanic. I forgot where I read that, I think on some trivia website about the Titanic. :)
Another random fact: The binoculars that were supposed to be in the crow's nest to help them look out for icebergs were lost.

You don't have to be upbeat around me if you don't want to. :) I've been thinking of some serious stuff lately too, in the middle of all this crafting.
ReplyDeleteHappy Titaniversary! Do you know if there are any survivors left?
I thought you were focusing on vacations gone wrong? lol I dunno!
ReplyDeleteSS: Thank you!!! <3 We should discuss some Serious Stuff some time at write group or while hula hooping or walking in MBPark. And no survivors left! The last one died in 2009 (she had been 9 weeks old at the time of the sinking!)
ReplyDeleteHA: I totally still am! :D Maybe I need to narrow that focus even more.
