Celebrating My 100th Blog Post--I Laugh and Laugh!

Just over four years ago I wrote my first blog.  I had no idea about what subjects I would discuss or write about, nor was there a clear indication of direction that my writing would take.  My blog was an open slate on which I would share my thoughts, wants, opinions, desires, tirades, political rants, tell stories, discuss future projects and goals--it would simply serve as an outlet for my mind that sometimes runs at 200 MPH. 

As I scrolled through the hodge-podge of posts since November 2011, I realized there is still no direction here, and more importantly I like it that way.  Some will engage with a particular post, others with and entirely different one.  What excites me most about That Reminds Me of a Time is that some love my writing, others hate it, some enjoy my rambling witticisms, while others consider me a hack.  Regardless of your opinion of me and what I share, I enjoy hearing from each of you--all of you!  For you are what drives me to write, consider the world, constantly evaluate my own self-worth (or lack thereof), and share what little I know of each.

In a world gone awry and in a country that has lost its moral way, I have chosen to embark upon any subject I find interesting or funny--no matter the topic.  Sports, politics, religion, spirituality, science, sexuality, and gender: all of these topics are within my grasp when I write.  Deep down I think most folks want to engage in many of these subjects, but most fear some retribution from a "friend" who thinks differently.  What separates me from many is that I don't mind if folks get upset over something I've written.  My opinion is just that--mine AND and an opinion.  It isn't intended to insult necessarily, but what I write is intended to make you think, laugh, or roll your eyes.  Perhaps I'll even illicit a combination of the aforementioned.

With this 100th post, an overly simplistic milestone, but a milestone nonetheless, I want to thank you, each of you, who take the time to read my drivel.  And for those of you who occasionally smile when I write something you find funny, I appreciate that the most!

Have fun, love lots, live much, and for God's sake--don't take yourself so seriously.  :)

  2. Haha! Edit away, Loranda. My blogs are mostly raw, unedited drivel that I rarely re-read unless someone points out a glaring mistake.

 If 2020 has taught us anything it is the power of popular opinion can sway most anyone into doing things and taking action when they should...
