THE ONE THOUSANDTH POST.....(Thank you to Blogatopia)

**************************************
When I first started blogging in the summer of 2005, I never knew where it would lead and how long I would blog.
I want to thank everyone that has come here over the years and read my posts and left comments and thoughts and insights.
I am very grateful for your wisdom and thoughtful support and amazing humor.I have blogged a wide range of things...Politics to Everyday Life to Journaling Our Times (Katrina, Plamegate, Gonzogate,Fires,Burma, Tibet,Dead heroes, soup and pie, and Iraq and the cost of food to PTSD...). You have let me rant about Bushco to share pieces of my life. I started the Blog the Summer of 2005 thinking that Bush and his Cronies would at some point face Scrutiny and Justice for their criminal activities.....I am still waiting.

I grew up during the Nixon years, hooked on the Wapo story of Crime and Conspiracy, convinced that Real Journalists can change the Course of History by Investigating and Writing the Truth. I was fascinated that a Leader could get caught in his own lies. I grew up thinking that another Watergate Summer would come and bring Justice. I have included a photo here of the Watergate...hideous Landmark that it is.
I lifeguarded there one summer,as a sub, it is Moldy disgusting building, it has a certain kind of Smell. For years I had saved my Towels from there.The Events of the Nixon years shaped me...and yes in many ways made me an Enigma.

I have tried to serve Soulfood and things to sooth the soul....Whether it be Music or Art or lovely photos ( that I did not take...but I still want to share). I have been worried that if we survive the Dark Times ( Our Own 1930's Germany) that we would lose Our Humanity, Our Empathy. That an Empathy Deficit would leave us crippled to move forward....and face Our Future. So I have tried to give Something back everyday.

I have been inspired by the BIG blogs, from Crooks&Liars to Skippy to Huffington Post to Dkos to Raw Story to Truthout. And then I have been inspired along the way by all the blogs like me that day in and out keep going. I like to think that we are the Resistance, the Midnight Bloggers blogging the Truth like Paul Revere and spreading what needs to be shared far and wide.I truly believe that WHAT we do Matters greatly. I am blogging from now until Eternity...I am committed Blogging this Time and Our History until we reach Change.....I am not giving up. Ever. We have a Country to Save...and we are the Butterfly Wings of Change.....and as more and more of us Flutter, The Change Will Come.
