I'm failing miserably at my blog everyday in January challenge

However, in the spirit of self-preservation and kindness to myself, I will forgive that. I don't want to blog about subjects that don't matter or that aren't as important. I don't want to blog for the sake of blogging. I founded this blog, RAMBLING ROSE, to highlight MY JOURNEY on this road of life. Here's what's going on lately. It hasn't been a great start to the year seeing how it has been cold as, well, Minnesota here in Roseville, but it's been fun.

I want to dedicate this post to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti, and more still, to those that are still alive, living the hell that is life after the storm. So much of me wants to do SOMETHING to help, but I feel helpless. I don't have anything monetary to give. I've done disaster relief before, and I would do it again in a heart beat if given the chance. I don't pray, but my thoughts will be with all of you on that island in the coming days, weeks, and years.

I think this is HILAROUS.

Stephen Colbert on AmeriCorps

Funny! Why would anybody do anything nice for anyone else without getting paid for it? Outrageous! AmeriCorps shout-out!

Interesting fact: For every ONE spot in AmeriCorps, TWO applicants get turned away. I did not realize this until this video. Thanks Stephen Colbert!

Rambling random thoughts. WARNING: Incoherent post ahead

As I type this, I should be reading and typing responses to two more chapters of Mosaic of Thought. It's Saturday night. I have no motivation to do so, but I have to get going because I have no time tomorrow. Somehow I think I bit off a little more than I can chew when it comes to the whole community event planning, school, two jobs, getting along with roommates, trying to be a decent human being thing. It's just not working. I'm going insane. Why can I never find a decent balance between work and play? Why did I just use the word decent three times in one paragraph? Why do I think of a hundred other things to do when I'm supposed to be doing homework? Why do I ask so many questions? The next chapter I have to read is a chapter about questioning as a comprehension strategy. Maybe that will help me. Anyway, I'm off to make some tea and sit down to study again. Blah. I love my life. Really, I do. If I can only tweak it a little to play more and work less. Good thing we are going to the cabin next week. I will need a real weekend after this mess of a pretend weekend. Ha! Later.

Need new post

I realize I haven't posted in a week. I realize it's Sunday and I need to post an update. For some reason I don't feel like it and for some reason I need inspiration. This is my cry for help. I have writer's block. I need an idea for a post. What do my readers want to hear from or about me? Take some time and think it over. I will be reading MOSAIC OF THOUGHT for class and writing reflections proving I read it all day. Until I see something on here suggesting what I write for a next post, I'm outta here. Enjoy your day.
