New blog title...

I've been wanting to change my blog and title for awhile. I guess all I needed was a certain, recent experience to inspire me. SHOUTING OUT LOUD... I believe there are both good and bad, positive and negative reasons to shout out loud. So, I felt it would be an appropriate title for my blog, since life is full of it all...you know, the good, the bad, and everything in between. I apologize for the upcoming randomness of this post. I don't get frusterated, angry, stressed out, overwhelmed, very often. I try to live my life with the least amount of drama. Truthfully, calm and quiet is usually how I roll. But, don't get me wrong, I'm always up for adventure, crazy randomness, a good time, laughter. I've recently learned to embrace great moments of spontaneity. You'd be surprised! Something happened to me very recently, which has made me want to "shout out loud." In dealing with the negative things life throws my way, it's usually quite easy for me to just throw them behind me, forget about them and move on. In fact, that's really how I always deal with things. However, on rare occasion something happens that really affects me and fills me with the need to "shout out loud." Now, if you even know me at all, then you know that I'm not really the shouting type. So, when I am filled with this need to shout out, you won't hear me in the street, or anywhere for that matter, yelling at the top of my lungs. Rather, I shout out in a more inward sort of way. Anyway, none of this is really important. I'm pretty sure the world wide web is not the appropriate place to vent feelings of frusteration, confusion, and so many other human emotions, so I'll spare you the brutal details. Shouting out Loud... My new blog title. Just curious, when something happens in your life that you can't control, but the effects of the event affect you deeper than can be explained, what is your way of shouting out loud, in other words, dealing with it?

Actually, unless it's something very personal, I think the WWW is the PERFECT place for venting those feelings!! It's always wonderful to have people hear and understand you. (IMO)

I love the new blog title! Great! And the new layout to go with it.

Oops, I forgot to answer your question.

I'm a crier. I love a good long cry. I find it very therapeutic. I also love having a husband I can unload on. He always (or usually) has a great perspective.

Lisa. Thank You! Glad you like the new blog.

I realized that I failed to include in my post how it is I "Shout out Loud." True, I mentioned that I deal with it inwardly, and for the most part that is true. But, I think in most cases we all have some outward act of showing it all.

I play the guitar. So, when I need to shout out, I grab Hairy (my guitar) and play. On occasion I break a string:) But that's it. That's what I do.

Thank you for your comments and for checking in on me. You're right, it is wonderful to have people hear and understand you.

And my Polish, well, I wish so bad that I had people around here to talk to. I try to read as often as I can in Polish. You know, z Ksiegi Mormona, and whatever else I have. I miss Poland terribly. I miss all my amazing friends there. I have to admit, I'm jealous that you get to live there. I'm sure it's hard sometimes. But, it's a great place.

I write poetry. Sounds lame I know but there's nothing like working someone on paper and they don't even know...or dancing is very good for me. You kind of have to be a decent dancer for that one though. If you feel foolish it doesn't work.

I literally shout out loud - maybe not the nicest way to go about things, but so far I've found it to be effective.

Love the title... I am the one to literally shout out loud, so I understand!

Hairy. . . Funny. :)

I eat. I must "shout out loud" a lot :) I am a comfort, stress, anger, any not happy, emotional eater. Bring on the cookies and milk, that always makes me smile:)

it depends on my reason for shouting. if i am happy i laugh and try to make others laugh as well. if i am upset i some times yell (i did that the other day - after my 2nd visit to the dmv and found it was necessary to return with different paperwork) or i read. that helps me think of something else. i will occasionally stick out my tongue, say, "ahh," and shake my head. i learned that from joey copsey in the 7th grade. it makes me laugh even when i am mad.
