Disjointed.

Posted by: curiousillusion on: October 19, 2009

I came upon the re-realization the other day that this blog is such a disjointed mess at times.  I say “re-realization” because I think I realized the situation when I first created this blog, many moons ago (okay so what, only 7 or 8 moons ago?).

I read a lot of blogs through my google reader and a lot of them are themed – a good chunk are tech-oriented, I have some photography bogs that I read and there is one beauty-related blog I like to peruse.  A couple are family-specific blogs and while that might be something I could do in the future, it certainly isn’t an option any time soon (gotta find me a boy first).

Why do I bring this up?  I guess because sometimes I feel that this blog is just all over the place.  For a while the main focus was my project 365 pictures, but that tapered off… then my getting healthy goals became a part of the blog (and then just as quickly, disappeared)… Sometimes I’ll write about movies I’ve seen, or books I’ve read… other times I’ll talk about my job.  This blog seems to be as ADD as I seem to be.  I’ve decided that’s okay.  It fits my personality, and that can’t be bad.  It does make it hard to figure out what to write about sometimes, but whatever.

So, on that note… here are some bullet points to sum up the day:

  • Had my observation today… it went far too short but the kids seemed engaged and were well-behaved, so that’s good.  Didn’t get a chance to hear from the admin how it went, I don’t think I’ll know for a few days.  I’m a bit nervous…. I had the thought today that while the admin is nice, I seem to not put my best face on around her, completely not on purpose.  It’s hard to explain, but I just don’t think she has the best impression of me.   Which sucks.
  • My mom finally agreed with me that it would be a good idea to quit the gym and use the money for paying down my car.  Yay.  Now I just gotta get up the courage to go quit. According to my contract, if I give them notice 20 days before the billing date, I won’t get penalized. So I’m going to go the day after the next time they bill me.
  • We are now in the part of Fall that I don’t like.. it was in the upper 50s when I left for work (brrr!) and then when it was time to leave work, it was about 80 degrees. That’s such a wide range in temperatures.  If it’s cold, I want it to stay cold all day.  If it’s going to be warm, it should be warm all day.  Makes it hard to dress for the day!
  • I have somehow whittled down my TV viewing list to only THREE shows a week.  That’s like, incredible.  Usually I average 6+ shows each season.  Currently the only shows I’m watching are How I Met Your Mother, Glee & FlashForward.  Love them!
  • There are no movies coming out that I have any desire to see.  None.  Okay maybe 2012 because John Cusack is in it.  But beyond that, nothing.  How boring!!
  • Oh uh… if you haven’t, it would be great if you could click to become a fan on Facebook! Mkaythanks! :)

So uh… do you think it’s okay that my blog is a disjointed mess?  Should I try to organize it a bit better, blog about certain things on certain days or something?  Or should I just embrace the chaos?

  • I think your blog is great, disjointed or not. It does have a theme anyway, it's about you! :)

    Oh, we just started watching Flash Forward last week and it's so good! I didn't think it would be but it is! I am so looking forward to the next episode.
  • I love your blog, disjointed or not - I think it does have a theme - it's about you! :)

    Oh my gosh, we started watching Flash Forward recently and it's so good! I really didn't think it would be but it is - wow, I am so looking forward to the next episode.
  • :) Thanks!

    I missed the last ep (recorded it but haven't watched it yet) but I find it fascinating. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.
  • Hurrah for ADD blogs! You know what? I've been doing this for ten years and okay, so admittedly I've been focussing more on music-themed features as my freelance portfolio has expanded, writing about whatever takes my fancy at any given time has never done me any harm.

    Your blog does have a focus - Ari! And we're all here because we love it ;)
  • I still can't get over it, 10 years. Wow! And yay for ADD blogs!!

    It' perfectly fine to be a disjointed mess, i know by blog is!
  • Phew!! :)
  • My blog is all over the place and I'm completely fine w/ it. For me, my blog and YouTube channel are an extension of myself. I may be a space cadet, but I sure live an interesting life.
  • Ha ha sweet!
  • I love coming to your blog! Keep it disjointed. It makes things more exciting. You do a great job of "storytelling" I love hearing your thoughts on life, the world, teaching. You always have something interesting to share!
  • Thanks Beryl!

    First off...What?!?!? No Grey's this year? SHAME SHAME SHAME!!! ;-)

    I say keep it disjointed. It suits you...Or at list what I know of you. It's okay if it's not all about one thing. That's boring and who wants to read about that?

    BTW, about the review. I felt the same way when I was teaching. My mentor said not to worry about it, everyone feels that way. :-)
  • I know, I know. Grey's has changed so much though.

    Oh and thanks. :)
