Resurrection

So, I’ve moved to Portland, Oregon. I absolutely love it here! However, I am having trouble keeping in touch with my loved ones back home. It isn’t a lack of interest in my part, or that I don’t even have time. It’s the time zone difference. Once my day has wound down and I have the time to call, it’s too late to call the people back home. I’m honestly not the biggest fan of the phone, anyway. I’m on the phone all day for my job, so the last thing I want to do once I’m off work is yak away at the phone some more.

So I am repurposing this blog, somewhat, as a way to not only express myself creatively, but as a way to reach out to my Central Time Zone people. I rarely have anything interesting to talk about, at least as far as I think, but I can at least keep people up to date in a way that is more in depth than stupid Facebook.

Oh, yeah, I’m also sick of Facebook. It doesn’t show me the people I want to check in with on my feed, so to weed out the actual important stuff is next to impossible, among all the stupid memes and funny pictures and “we’re on a desert island, the first five people are the ones with you!” junk. I would delete my account all together, but I know it is the main way for so many of my friends and family to communicate, I know if I delete my account, it’s like deleting their friendship. I can’t do that.
