Blog! Me? When?

I can't believe it. I have a blog account... Will I actually use it?
I guess that remains to be seen.

First Decision in this new adventure... What to name it... ?
Let's face it, there are way to many choices and yet none that seem to work for me. So I did what any other person who's feeling void of any creative vibs at 12:00 on a Sunday night would do... I ran a search on "blog names" - Oh yeah! That should really help... not. Oh, don't get me wrong there were lots of ideas... Lots of freakishly odd, out there ideas-but as easy as it might be to tag myself as the Neon Blazzer, none of these seemed to fit.

So, how does someone who hasn't touched a musical instrument since graduation in 1986 end up with the word "unplugged" in it?
Simple... OK, not totally simple, but try to follow along.

I started thinking about what I would want my blog to be.
It would have to be a place that I can disconnect from life and just process thoughts. *Which brings me to an entirely different question... do I really want to make this public? I'll tackle that another time. For now, I'll stick with the "private/draft" feature.*

Where was I? Oh yeah, disconnect from my life, yadda, yadda, yadda-process thoughts, etc. Got it.
The next step was to figure out what my life feels like and what it might be like to take a step back for a few minutes. That's pretty easy. Most of the time I feel like my mind is going 190 mph. So fast, I can hardly keep up. While I'm working on one thing, I have at least two other thoughts on my mind, something else I'm trying to remember, but getting distracted by something I don't want to forget. (I guess that explains the Ritilan in the cabinet.)

To wrap it all up, I feel like my thoughts/mind need to be unplugged every now and then. I just need to be able to ramble. <- Now if that doesn't leave you screaming for more, I don't know what will.

Seriously, I was inspired by another good friend of ours that we totally respect. He began his first blog session. His is much more spiritual and deeply insightful than mine, but I'm hoping to get there one day. Thanks for the inspiration Hector!

That's enough for now. It's nearing one and I still have to figure out how to save this so I don't have to start over. Well, that and I want to figure out what this "mood selector" does. So if you read this and it sounds "impressed, geeky, or grateful" then I still don't know what I'm doing.

In Him,
Tammy
