"The tree comes down today..." so says the entry from yesterday and indeed it did come down.. I was thinking of the "olde days" when mom would say that.. The tree comes down more often when we were out playing... More often than not I think she did it that way because she really didn't want our "help" doing so.. Ian was here over the new years day and said something about helping take the tree down and mom said no that we might try on the next day or two.. Without his help of course.. I remember the tree being taken down when we were little, us out on the swingset and here comes dad or mom with the tree marching it out to the trash which was right next to the swingset.. The year she put it right next to the trashcan and it was lit and the tree burned so quickly that it just.. Was like a tumbleweed, there and in a flash...GONE.. I didn't put one and one together.. That could happen in the house!! .. So the tree is down, but the outside decor is still there, I will wait until most of the snow is melted to get that taken care of.. Went to the local stores that have their Christmas stuff on sale and just like about every year I got a string or two.. Tried to get some led lights before and again this year I got a string of C-9 lights just to see what they looked like as compared to the old ceramic lights.. They are almost identical..
So now we move into the new year.. Shortly people will stop wishing everyone happy new year and get on with the drudgery of living it..
Christmas was a good day, we had almost everyone here and it felt good... Anything from previous encounters seemed like there was no holding over of anything.. There was a little edginess but for the most part everything went on fairly well.. I think that family is always going to have a bumpy road to it, sometimes we get on each others nerves a bit.. The entry that was to hit on the 8th or this Tuesday (the entry from hell) won't and it isn't going to have a set date ever.. But it still is here and on several other sites if you know where to look.. Truth is like I said it really is just my vision of what has gone on.. But I couldn't see putting it up here before the holidays and won't after because while I don't see that it is anything more than just a prolonged diary of events, it just might be viewed by the wrong people as a way to rehash the events leading up to and including the aftermath of those events.. What would cause me to put them up here?? I can't think of anything.. Not right now.. The only thing I could think of that would cause me to put it up here would be if the persons actually read it and gave their ok to put it up here.. That might sound strange to say that, but to me, as I've said it really isn't a spite type of thing.. It is rather a way of showing the events that lead to the blowup.. Meaning I don't think anyone is at fault enough to not have it published but in the same sense there is no need to have it published since there really is nothing that could be seen as positive such as it is.. In other words it may never see the light of day in it's current form.. And I won't hold it over anyone, there is nothing worth that kind of feeling of "if we don't walk a straight line he will publish that entry.." it won't be published but it also won't be deleted either.. Bits and pieces are all over the place, on several sites mostly MySpace (I have two of those, still and are active) and another site on Blogger (Infinite Improbabilty) it has never had an entry be published and there are a good number there dating back to about a year ago..
So what about the clutter that is my corner of the internet.. Up until October or there about I was fine with the mess that was (Is) the RSS reader.. The mess meaning there were a ton of sites that weren't in a folder of any kind.. So why fix it?? I am the type that while not a neat freak by any stretch, I am kind of a neat freak of sorts or an organized chaos type of person.. I like things to be more organized but not be looking so tidy.. So the start of December saw the long delayed cleaning up of the RSS reader in what is part one of a three or four step process.. Trying to weed out the crap that I don't use anymore.. This is somewhat difficult when I was putting some sites I didn't want to lose on Twitter and Facebook. Then later will weed out on those two sites.. My Facebook is already over cluttered but I continue on.. The RSS reader gets that same start feeling every day.. I try to hold on to some of the sites and then as I have been at it a few hours I start to delete all of the sites.. There is a different feeling now with the Streaming player I am seeing so many sites are now on that.. Speaking of which...
...The Roku looks to be living up to what I was hoping for.. So many sites that I knew about are yielding stuff I didn't know about.. MSNBC represented on their has some good stuff.. Universal sports and I was able to watch that Gabby Douglas qualify for the Olympics.. Nice to look at that and know that she won gold after everyone thought they gifted her the last spot on the team.. So many more sites like this and last night during the game I was watching the "Daily Motion" site instead.. What a site.. So many cool sites.. I knew if YouTube were available that I would watch that a lot.. So much to see so little time..
