Pitiful and pathetic!
No, I’m not getting on my pity potty about my sucky life because my life doesn’t suck. But lately, my blog sure does!
No, I am not looking for reassurance and validation. I know I can write even though I am not a real writer (real writers write whether or not they’re any good at it). I am flaming myself for not doing so more often, and for having not written a decent article since April — now that’s bad, even for me.
The problem is three-fold. First, it’s hard to choose a subject as there are so many interesting things to write about. Second to that is my pedantic nature, which manifests itself in an eternal internal conflict over quality versus quantity. Lastly, I’m just lazy and distracted, often preferring to comment on other blogs and message boards because it’s more interactive and conversational — and therefore satisfying — than shouting through this ostentatious echo chamber.
But I’m not going anywhere, and I’ll not be making any empty promises about updating more often. Besides, whenever I concoct one of my long and detailed manifestoes, I post it to Blogcritics instead of here. Blogcritics is a very high quality publication, and it’s editors require exclusivity, so when I get published there I just link to the article from here.
So, this is an update of the quantity variety. Maybe there’ll be more, maybe there won’t be. Stay tuned — or not.

I found one of your videos on youtube and I followed it to your blog. I must say I enjoyed both. I’m a mom to 7, of which the youngest is autistic (PDD-Nos). He is similar to Guy-Guy. He is extremely social and his speech is improving rapidly. He also has a tendency to repeat commercials and scripts from movies. The amazing part is that it’s always in the correct context. It’s as if his brain stores scripted speech for the appropriate time, but it can’t be placed in it’s own words….
Anyway, just wanted to tell you I love the videos and your blog. I hope you post some new videos soon..
Without question you have some real serious vain issues about who you are and guilt with what you have done to your children. You have entirely too much time on your hands and should instead focus on truth instead of the lies you perpetuate because you cannot stand someone with a different opinion than yours. Your blogging screams insecurity and using your entire name only adds to the embarrassment that you should be feeling. Enjoy yourself because it is obvious that you do not care about others.
Ah, one of the kooks has shown up here to chastise me. How quaint.
Hi MRT,
I did not know you had a blog! I hope you don’t stop updating it, because I just found it! Anyway, now I am going to go check it out. Thanks for keeping it real, in spite of haters!
Take care, Amber
