Esoteric Wombat

February 4, 2011 By pia

I’ve been blogging since we blogged uphill both ways.*  Really.  I barely knew what a blog was.  For the first four months I did it strictly for myself.  Then I found a blogging association most of us love to leave out of our blogging resumes.  The next  morning I found myself in an alternate universe I sometimes think is my real life.  People bookmarked me.  OK I got that.  But the link exchange–uh, what’s a link?

I learned this new world, though the learning curve was long and high,  and began to meet people through emails.  Gmail didn’t have IM then and I swear AOL chat would crash my computer.

Anyways as the Wombat says, I discovered amazing uh esoteric people.  Many who are much younger than I am.  Like in: I first knew them when they were in their late teens.  Having young exceptionally bright friends forces me to think and challenge my views on some subjects.  They remind me of the best of me–those years when everything was new, almost always fun except if it was horrific.  And while the world was in horrible shape I knew I was destined for a wonderful future.  And it happened!

The Wombat is an amazing person and friend.  He has opinions (learned and scholarly) on almost everything,  appreciates James Spader like nobody but me, while being straight.  Has one of those great storybook Boston families that actually has camping reunions.  And so much more.  He’s an incredible helpful, thoughtful friend.

His current post, mostly on Egypt has an unusual, different and really almost commonsense take.  He talks about things other people don’t.

Uh government workers have joined the protesters.  I so hope this is a revolution for good and the betterment of the Egyptian people.

Now I blog for Psychology Today and my latest post was called an essential read, by Psychology Today.  Not that I’m bragging or anything.  Yeah me!!!!! (I never say things like this and lately….)

I’ll take essential read anyway I can!!!!!!!

*Taken from a saying on a tee shirt.  Can’t upload the image and not sure who to credit to.  But looking!
This is my most commented on post.  I stopped the comments as a little thing called Katrina was happening and I thought that was more important than a debate on Intelligent Design.  But unfortunately the post is more relevant today than ever.

    @Doug
    Six years Doug, it’s going to be six years. You were the first real blogging friend I made.
    And though you blog sporadically now, watch these pages….

    Definitely an essential read Pia no matter where you are writing.

    I’m thrilled that Wombat is writing again even as my time for blogging decreases.

    @cooper
    Thanks Ms Cooper. Your encouragement means the world to a lot of us. As your blog is essential to our lives but we understand that you’re taking life by the tush and making it conform to your will.
    (I have a cold thanks to a week of rain, and can’t think–this sounds much weirder than the intent)

About Me

I live in the South, not South Florida, a few blocks from the ocean, and two blocks from the main street. It's called Main Street. Amazes me too.

I'm from New York. I mostly lived in the Mid-Upper East Side, and the heart of the Upper West Side. It amazes me when people talk about how scared they were of Times Square in the 1970's and 1980's.

As my mother said: "know the streets, look out and you'll be fine."

What was scary was the invasion of the crack dens into "good buildings in good 'hoods." And the greedy landlords who did everything they could to get good tenants out of buildings.

I'm a Long Island girl, and proud of it now.
Then I hated everything about the suburbs. Yet somehow I lived in a few great Long Island Sound towns after high school.
