So here I am. Officially in the blogging world. I have been encouraged to join this cult years ago, but have been avoiding it, perhaps for fear of putting myself out there, here I mean. People, you people, reading my thoughts, my actions, what happens in my life and those who are lucky enough to be in it. Why the hell should you care what I have to say, what I do, who I do it or don’t do it with?? Why would you want to read the inner babblings of my neurotic mind? Why should you care about stories of my crazy family?–like when I had to convince my sister that naming her daughter Emily would be a bad idea since her last name is Emery? Come on, Emily Emery? Really? I mean, I am sure you have a crazy family for your own. Maybe you want to hear from a voice of a teacher in the trenches–a teacher who has been called a TILF by a 6th grader.

So why should you read my blog?  Because, dammit! I can write, I can even be entertaining at times. I can write with emotion, with energy, with wit and humor and even a dash of sarcasm here and there.

Writing is my slap in the face. When I am feeling blah, not happy or sad or up or down, just kinda in a place where I couldn’t care less what the hell is happening—even if there was a 90210 weekend marathon (the old school show not the new CW knockoff) and would rather take a nap than anything else (this is often by the way…I love naps!), writing does something to me only a few people in my life (and some prescription drugs) can do; it wakes me up, it enlivens me, it makes me the person I want to be each and every day. So I figured if I had a blog, I would force myself to have less of the blah 18 hour nap days and more bopping down the street to the eclectic mix of music my ipod presents to me and picking up guys in subway cars kinda days.

So here I am world. DaynawithaY. Come and visit. See what I have to say. Write me and tell me what you think. Or don’t. I am doing this for me, not you. Or at least that is what I am trying to convince myself. Can’t hurt to try.

Welcome to my journey.
