				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes! Seriously!</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>So, I am a verbal processor. I have to put a thought into words, either written or spoken, in order to really formulate a position on something. I have always played at the edge of being a writer. I am meticulous (now I am inviting comments on grammar and spelling, aren&#8217;t I?) in what I publish, whether it is an email, or a Facebook status update, or a comment to a status update.</p>
<p>Lately, I have found myself wanting to respond to Facebook statuses posted by my &#8216;friends,&#8217; not just because I did not agree with what they wrote, but more importantly (to me), they were using flawed arguments to support their opinions. I would write a response to a status in a comment, and then delete it before publishing, because they do not need me to attack them on their own Facebook status&#8230; If someone wants to hear my opinion, they will have to ask me, or find my blog (yes, it is mine&#8230; I control it 100%!) and read about it.</p>
<p>Now that we have gotten that out of the way, I can try and tell you what the blog is about&#8230; I am calling it rants, raves and reality checks. Every post will be one or more of those. I figure that should buy me sufficient creative license to write just about anything I want to!</p>
<p>To wrap things up&#8230; thanks for reading&#8230; drop me a note to let me know you read something, and what you think&#8230;</p>
<p>Take care!</p>
