MY THEME SONG

I think everyone needs to have their own theme song. Don't most peope identify with a song? The song that they feel was written with them in mind...or a song they feel describes their life at that period in their life, for instance right now I would probably make my theme song Johnny Cash's "Solitary Man"....I know, you probably smirked as soon as you saw Johnny Cash. It isn't the fact he sings it that would make it my song, but the song itself. Then again maybe some of the reason I like it is because Johnny Cash is identified as being a loner.....a "solitary man" if you will. Now in picking that particular song it doesn't mean I'm stuck with it the rest of my life.....just that at this point in my life I think it describes where im "at"......how I feel.

After the song is chosen...it needs to be played during your interaction with people....especially your first interaction....I do not see the purpose of playing it repeatedly for the same people...well except for when you have changed your theme song. This would let people know how you're doing....and if they should be concerned about you.

I haven't had enough coffee yet this morning to figure out the details of how it would be best to play the song for people....I mean using an MP3 player or what, or what the procedure needs to be of who would play theirs first, maybe the person on the right...or the taller person gets to go first.

But ya...we all need a theme song....

Where I Come From

In my previous blog I said I do not like to talk about myself because I do not want to give anyone a snapshot of myself....although that is true I also think that no one would ever be interested in hearing anything about me. What I mean... I have become an expert listener, kind of the designated listener if you will....I enjoy listening to other people's stories, which goes along with my hobby of people watching (again another blog).


I suppose before I give you my views on life, the world etc etc... I should tell you a little bit of my background so you know where some of my views and feelings come from when I put my personal views on my blog.


-I am an Army brat...dad is a retired Army Chaplain.



-I am a registered Democrat...there I've said it....I am sure I just lost the 2 people that might have actually read this.



-Consider myself from Washington DC since that is where I graduated high school "Gooooo Hayfield Hawks!!!"



-After high school went to community college, but when I was in the third year of a two year degree thought I had better rethink my life's plan.


-Enlisted in the Air Force.....Security Specialist.....yep one of many "bright" moves on my part.


-I have six children. No not all biological, but just the same all my children.

-I have worked as a correctional officer at the Penitentiary of New Mexico...

-Worked in retail for a few years.

-I have found my passion as a teacher, and wish it had not taken me so long to find it.


A person's views are formed from their lifes experiences, so it is important that you know about my experiences and where my views have been shaped.

NEWBIE

Let me begin my blogging life by saying right up front....I'm not even sure what blogging is..there I said it....I don't know what "bluetooth" is either, but will save that issue for another time. I have read blogs, but not sure what their intent is??? I mean do I tell you, the reader, about my deep dark secrets, or do I tell you my feelings on life....??? So please...the one or two of you who read this, if I stray from the blogging rules please steer back to the right path okay??

I will start by saying I do not like talking about myself....okay?? I just don't, and never have...there are probably a hand-ful of people in this world who know anything about me...and one of those is my ex-wife, will share more of that later.

Years ago, while I was in the Air Force, a very smart man told me that if there aren't any pictures, then it never happened. I have taken that mantra as my own, and I feel to talk about myself is to give someone a picture....a picture that can be turned back on me. I know that sounds paranoid, but just how I have always felt. I will try to work on that here, on my blog, and maybe as I get more into this I will be able to share some pictures of myself.
