I often get into ruts where I don’t blog because I think, “Who
cares? Why would anyone want to hear what I have to say about the lost art of
gold leafing?” (That’s just an example of course. This entry will not be about
gold leafing.) I think to be a blogger is to be at least a little narcissistic.
You have to be to expect that people are interested in your writing, especially
the kind of writing where you talk about yourself to no end. All that being
said, this blog entry highlights the overall subject of this entire blog…ME!
You know what I like? I’ll tell you what I like, and I’ll do
it in list form. Why? Because I love lists! I categorize my whole life in “Top
5” lists. This is actually only partly because I adore lists. The other part is
that I can’t make up my dang mind about much of anything. Or can I…? No, I’m
pretty sure I can’t. When people ask me about my “favorites,” I respond with a
list of my favorite Top 5 in the subject.
So, since you’re reading MY blog about ME, I will give you some of my Top 5 lists. These are not ranked, because, well, that would defeat the
purpose…
