What am I Doing Here?

by Dorianne

Rated: E · Book · Animal · #1209690

This is my first attempt to be a blogger. I hope to type a few items that you will enjoy.

I do not know where to begin with this description. The time period is from 0 to now. Please don't ask how long that is. I am sure with certain clues, you will be able to figure that out.
I am writing this on my favorite old computer at home. I have a computer room that doubles as a retreat for a few of my pets when they want to be alone.
I will cover mostly current thoughts. I hope to add some pictures as I have seen in a blog. I think that to do this sharing will take a lot of work, but the pictures I have seen are well worth it.
Occasionally, I might review a flashback in mylife. I have times when I just roll that special even around in my mind until it has every possible facet examined. Usually this time is to try to figure out a "what if" scenario.
If some of my items have no zest to it feel free to say so. I think that after I have some a few trial runs, then the real me will be out for all of the world to see. Luck you! As the saying goes, "Come with me and the best is yet to be."

The Wizard of Oz is great, along with all of the other films you listed!

These all sound like great things to read! I have a couple of Pulitzer winners on my to-read list as well, most notably Trust by Hernan Diaz.

Happy Birthday to you.
I agree that April is a great month for birthday that is filled with warm weather and lots of friends. It has all the makings for a fun time in which one can go outdoors and visit friends you missed during bad weather time.
Enjoy! Celebrate! Soak in that vitamin D from the sun!

Sounds like lots of lovely plans for April! It's my birthday month too, I'm biased but I think it's the best month for a birthday

Thank you to Soldier Mike for your read and special comments. I like the mention that the acronym is something personal. I would need a little help with X's or Qs. I had a Quincy in my class one time. He wasn't quick or quiet. I knew that he asked a lot of questions so 'Questioning' seemed to fit. He did not mind, and he enjoyed the word. If a person had a short name then I allowed the student to use their last name. I always wanted my students to have a good day.
These Blog writings are thought provoking and fun.
So since it is Spring, let me wish you and your family a nice Springtime. I was glad to see the last snow we had melted. I can take longer walks and go outside to write more.
Take care !

Presenting an acronym to a friend as a birthday gift is a fine idea for a writer. It's fun for them to read, and it's personalized to boot.

Soldier Mike
Thank you for your read and response on this blog. I usually keep my t-shirts for a long time. Then when they do not have to good as new look I either use them as undershirts to become a layer in winter or pajama wear. I have shirts that I bought when I went to different cities for the U. S. National Fencing tournaments that I qualified for. The older ones/shirts I keep as a way to remember the where and when I went.
As for the jeans, I seem to have gained a little weight since I retired from my sport. You can't lose it if you don't burn those calories. One cannot fence in jeans. A fencer must wear all white. White jeans are really hard to find. So the blue jeans are part of my travel ensemble.
My jeans are usually blue, elastic waist and not tapered in the legs. I grew up in the country so that style reminds me of home. I did not live on a farm but tried to help with yard work. Weeding flowerbeds in particular. It helped me see nature and find special animals. (baby birds, lizards, snakes, caterpillars, and such.)
Well I have shared enough and thank you for your reaction.
Have a nice day.
Happy Spring time.

In response to "It's Jean Time"

Picking the right clothing can be a challenge, especially if, as you say, your preferred size regularly becomes unavailable. I have enough t-shirts to last the rest of my life (and I've owned some more than half my life), so jeans are my most "frequent" purchase; as I'm no longer part of the rough-and-tumble set, they last quite a while. Color selection's easy: black, tan or basic blue go with anything and support my severely limited fashion sense.

Let's Talk Music

Day 3947 September 18, 2025

Let’s Talk Music

Call me crazy but I have only heard of the name. I recognized JH when I heard the announcement that he had died. What a shame and waste of talent. But that was his choice to either experiment or use drugs to heighten his life and skills. I would call this the wild-child effect.
Yes he was popular and sent his crowd of admirers into frenzies. His playing was admired and adored. But again Drugs? So bad and so sad.
For the kind of guitar music, there are others. I am a fan of classical music. I have not listened to much lately. I think if the music was played with an orchestra to accompany it, then I get the fullness of the music.
Classical Gas is one that is one of my favorites. Mason Williams is very talented and unique in his creativity. I even play it when I work out. That even might give you a hint at how old I am. (Don’t ask!)
So I encourage others to listen to music that soothes the soul and feeds the mind. Let the music carry you into the past or make today a little more tolerable. Music is poetry and sensory pleasure in the same package. Go enjoy!
