Welcome!

Here it is. The inaugural post for my blog - Eating Buffalo Chips in a Teepee.

First of all, I want to say that I picked this title because it is off-the-wall. It is something that sticks in your mind. It might even make you hungry. (Because we all know that nothing says NOM NOM NOM like chowing down on some buffalo chips, right? .... riiiight?????).

Anyway, I'm digressing from the point.

The goal of this blog, this Internet journal, is to serve as a forum for my ranting and raving. Before, I would do so on Facebook, and sometimes I throw in the occasional swear. I don't want to offend family or friends that are on my Facebook. I don't want to force them to realize that, yes, Kim Kardashian is a big old courtesan. (Or, as my Grandma calls her. "A slut," before adding, for good measure: "And so is Snooki!")

So here we are, on the World Wide Web.

As part of my New Year's Resolution, I plan on posting at least once a day  on a topic of my choice. The postings will be a discussion on things/people/ideas/places/etc. that I: LOVE!, like, loathe, or wish I could ship into space (like Toby Keith....but I'll save that for the post!).

In addition to getting out certain frustrations, I hope that this blog will also help me sharpen my writing skills. Well, I mean I have been writing for about eight years, but it was work, not personal. (I wrote for newspapers, and now I work as a communications specialist for a hospital....so basically, I write up some good ol' P.R.!)

Alrighty, here we go! While I didn't intend on starting my blog until January 1, 2013, I figure that I might start it this weekend or early next week. After all, if this Mayan Apocalypse does come, wouldn't I just look like a fool, not starting my blog until AFTER the world ends?

Because I hate looking like a fool.
