March 24 - This Day In History (A day late - I know)
In 2008 I was desperately in need of an outlet. I had also just finished a writing class that really enabled me to communicate with some parts of me that had been neglected. During this season I also joined a social network setup for graduates of Paterson’s Eastside High School. While reading through the profile of someone that had sent me a friend request, I noticed she listed a website. I disregarded the fact that she dumped me after a few short weeks in high school (she claims it’s the other way around lol), and I visited her blog anyway. Needless to say, I was impressed with what she had to share. I was not surprised since I always knew she would be a success. I took the time to go through her blog roll and came across a very entertaining, exhilarating, exciting, enticing, (and some word that starts with an e and means nasty) blog and immediately added it to my favorites.....................................but not for the nasty parts like beds going through the floor, just the other stuff. His main blog is just as awesome as it keeps me informed of current events. I am amazed at how well he handles two non-junk blogs. He should be paid, and one day soon he will be.
On March 24 of 2009, I was shocked to find that this intelligent woman and this man of God who is artistically diverse, politically enlightened, and Spiritually inclined share a birthday. Call me crazy, but I believe the cosmonautical, literary, karmaneutical, atmosphere created by their day caused another favorite blogger to return from his sabbatical today.
So today as we remember past events of March 24 like;
I would like to just say thanks to the birthday honorees for being great bloggers, and even better people.
