Why my blog exists

Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken.

— Oscar Wilde.

The quote above was put here by WordPress, but I like it.

I had a web page.. It looked like it had been written in the 1990s with a text editor. It had. When I thought of what I wanted out of a web page, a blog really fit my needs better. I decided to try WordPress, I liked the look and feel of friends blogs. I started fresh with Lisapocalypse.

I think I’ll use the blog to talk about things people, places and things that are important to me? I’m not sure. I’m not terribly introspective. My dog doesn’t fall into “people, places and things”, he’s a “being” I think….he warrants space too.

Some highlights, I work in Cable TV, I live in the North East, but I miss the Pacific North West, where I lived for 18 years. I’ve traveled domestically a LOT for work, and internationally a little for pleasure. I’ve got friends clustered in CT, Washington State, the San Francisco Bay area, Denver, and then scattered around the country and world…….

I’m someone who generally keeps friends forever. I’m still hanging out with people I went to Jr. High School with. A fair number of us that graduated together still hang out, go to dinner, have parties, etc.. Part of that may be that we don’t live in a huge city, I’m not sure…..

I have a couple of hobbies that have small circles of people. I volunteer at rallies. The kind of rallies where people race cars. I do communications work. I volunteered at many of them in the Pacific North West. Now I’ve finally started volunteering for them in the North Eastern U.S.. Rally people are fun people, the races are fun to watch, and volunteering gets you the best seats in the house. Everyone should try it if they like cars at all!
