I've contemplated creating a blog for a while now. If you were or are my friend on Facebook you may or may not recall I had a series of notes call LD's Outlook. Well, I liked the name so much that I made it the title of my blog. I will warn you, don't expect anything spectacular, especially out of this intro blog. All I will do is just offer my outlook (thus the clever title) on mostly everyday things. I don't expect to get to deep or philosophical. I expect this blog to just be entertaining and nothing more. I'm not looking to preach or try to convince others I am correct in my opinions. I guess I should do a quick outlook just so you can have a taste of what is to come.
As you can tell by the date, it is after Thanksgiving, and thus the Christmas Season is allowed to begin. For me though, I am unable to feel in the Christmas Spirit until one thing happens. No, it isn't Black Friday (though it was quite successful this year thanks to Tad and Amanda). It isn't watching that first crummy Christmas special (which anybody who truly knows me should know that I have an unhealthy love for crappy Christmas specials during the Christmas Season). For me it is actually a lot more sentimental than that. For as long as I can remember my Aunt Elaine would find different Christmas songs and create a mix tape for my cousin and me. This was back when you had to record each individual song for an actual cassette tape (that's true love). They had the standards to weird and obscure ones that if it wasn't for her I would have never been able to enjoy them. Well, on Sunday (yesterday) I finally received my mix CD (yes, she has kept up with the times). Once I opened it up I began to feel the Spirit of Christmas rising around me. I want to keep this short and sweet, so I will be wrapping up soon. You can expect to hear about my obsession of crappy Christmas specials before Christmas arrives. Now that I have my Christmas mix CD from my Aunt Elaine in hand, I would like to wish you all a Merry Start to the Christmas Season. I hope you give my blog a chance...at least until I become bored with the notion of having a blog and I decide to stop.
