....Because I was upset. Really upset by something I read in another blogger's pre-christmas blog.
What it was and why it upset me will be the subject of my next post. I don't know when that will be since I am still upset, fuming in fact.
After I read it I dropped an innocuous comment into the blog and came straight back here and thumped out a retort. A long one. Then I saved it and went to the kitchen where I baked 5 shortbreads, one chocolate layer cake and made rum balls. Then I wrapped the presents, vacuumed the house and went to bed even madder than when I started.
The next day I got up still mad.
I re-read the tirade I had spewed out into type and decided I need time to cool off. I went back and re-read the blog and, more importantly, the comment that blew the lid off. I got madder.
It is 2 weeks now and I am still mad.
If you are bored by now I am sorry. If you are intrigued I am sorry.
I have told no one about this and when I finally do reveal it some of you will say "is that all!".
But I am upset because I am a good and decent human being. I am upset because I am sick of certain holier-than-thou people who parade their ignorance like a badge of honour.
So....I will wait till after the new year celebrations because I want to try and enjoy them.
I will also be making a New Year's resolution which may cause me to never blog again. I have really lost my enthusiasm for it due to bigots.
Enough for now. I am making myself mad again.
Happy Happy New Year everyone!!!!
Let's try some rational (yes I mean't r-a-t-i-o-n-a-l) tolerance in 2012.
Yours Sincerely

Oh, I hope it wasn't me!
ReplyDeleteI haven't blogged because I've been taking it easy this week. Sure, I'll comment, but, as you know, writing a post takes a little more time than commenting. You have to worry about punctuation, spelling, and grammar in a regular post. Whereas! wIth comeNting, ewe dont knead 2 wurry az much.
Still, I hope it wasn't me!
Actually Al it WAS your blog - you started it innocuously and one of your followers drove the spike home.
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you - I guess it is how you guys are raised to think. But I wish in the 21st century people would start thinking for themselves and thinking from deep within their humanity.
I wish in 2012 people who profess to be christian would actually practice the tenets of their belief system and not just pay them lip service.
I'll explain in the blog.
I still love your blog and will follow. I hope you can do the same for me but I hope you may see some things a little differently.
Talk soon.

...actually Al - I am hoping we can have a debate about this - I would love that.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I upset you (I really am). I look forward to seeing what you have to say. I think I know which one you're talking about so I'll go check out what one of the commenters was. I really have an open mind and consider what I write before I send it to avoid (or reduce) any hurt feelings.
ReplyDeleteNothing anyone says in a dopey blog should bother you. I hope we're all friends.
Okay....I THINK I know which comment to which you refer. If it's the one, I most assuredly do not ascribe to that philosophy (so the debate may be stillborn). MY philosophy is live and let live. I do not care who you are-we're all human beings. But, I'll wait to see what you have to say.
ReplyDeleteIn any event, I do apologize for offending you!
Peace.
