this week, i have been vacillating between maintaining and shutting down this blog. it's time-consuming. it's pissed off a good number of people. it's offending many of my friends. it's readership has been diminishing. it's "below me" according to some sources. and it's difficult to bring humor to a lot of the 20-something issues that are profoundly unfunny. any logical person would walk away from something that causes so much grief.
fortunately (or unfortunately), i'm not logical.
and i kind of like it here.
and yesterday there were a couple signs from g-d who mentioned that i should continue to write my book and blog about my life -- but only once i was finished with my homework. he said something about it being good for me to "talk about my feelings" (which i don't do well) and that it might pay off in the long run.
well ... the conversation wasn't that in depth, but i got the message. (by the way, how come when one speaks to g-d, he's considered religious, but when one hears g-d speak to him, he's considered crazy?)
i was forwarded an e-mail from downstairs-amy yesterday about a local tv program looking for "dc area twentysomethings who are struggling with twentysomethingy issues: people who maybe don't know what to do with their lives, are lost when it comes to a career path or other young adult issues, are trying to deal with living with their parents or simply relating to them, etc etc. if anyone is interested in voicing their thoughts/ defending twentysomethings/explaining what it's really like to be a young adult today, please email us."
what they really should have wrote was, "ummm... we're looking for debbie rosenbaum. if anyone knows how to get in touch with her, could you let us know?"
so for now, the blog stays. i can't promise it will always be funny. i can't promise it will always be profound. i can't promise that i won't try to make other people laugh at your expense. i certainly can't promise that i won't be offensive or curse a litfucktle bit.

but i can promise you that this is me. these are our stories. take it or leave it.... well, you can't really "take me" or "leave me." but sexual favors are encouraged.
i'll continue to complain and rave about my jobs. i'll continue to glorify and bitch about my friends. i'll continue talk about loving and making fun of my family. i'll continue to be overwhlemed and kick my own ass about grad school admissions (still no personal statement; beginning crisis stage shortly). and i'll definitely continue to worry about relationships, marriage, career paths, grad school degrees and whether or not i'm normal. (i'm not).
oh, and i have another confession to make.
in november 2000, i didn't vote in the most controversial state in the most controversial election our country has ever seen. i swear i tried to vote in 2004; they just lost my ballot.
... but that's another story. just had to get it off my chest while we were doing the whole confession thing.
Hey, please don't shut down your blog. Try to make it boring - like my blog, then people will stop coming.
