Memetics: My First Venture

I am, quite honestly, very new to the Blogging world.  I have often used the web as a creative outlet and have tried to create my own system for posting my ideas over the years.  This is my first hole-hearted attempt at blogging regularly.

For the past three weeks or so, I’ve been working far too much.  Six days a week of 10+ hour days is no way for a person to live.  Certainly I’ve been way too tired to write anything, and my day off is my one day off, so I rest and get ready for another stressful week.

This week I am on vacation.  I wanted no more of the crap from work.   I told myself I would try to post more this week, but I’ve squeezed out one post on Bush’s poor language skills and the representation he has on Americans in general.

I also found when I got back to spending some time with my PC, that I had been tagged by the very good whydontyou blog.  Memetics is the name of the article and is the first time I have had even heard the term.   Feeling a bit out of the loop, I decided that I had to do some research on the idea of memes, and it was fascinating.

I am supposed to now to do a couple things.  I am not sure I am in any shape to do so at this time.

First, I am supposed to choose five articles that show the evolution of my blog.  That would be like analyzing the evolution of the human species over the last 100 years.  I am still quite new to blogging and really haven’t got much of a history.

I started a little over two months ago with a post on the value given to the victims of priests in the LA area.  I really tried hard to concentrate on religious aspects as I started, but realized that I had to throw out philosophy and politics as well as any general topics I may want to cover.

First and last for now.

Also, in that span of a couple months, I’ve tried several different themes.  I’ve debated developing my own, and I suppose I will in time.  I’m using one that I found that focuses on nature.  I believe that may even be the name of the theme.  It seems well done, but does not provide everything I want in a theme for my blog.  Maybe while I am on vacation this week…

I am supposed to also find six other blogs and tag them.  Not blogs that have already been tagged.  I now have more research to do.

I am thankful to Heather for tagging my humble little blog.  This has also given me a spider web’s trail to follow in order find other interesting blogs.  I guess that’s the point in a way.

Update coming soon.
