"Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud, and I know that you'll use them however you want to"

Times are hard, peeps. Everyone is growing up so fast.
I can't wait for thanksgiving. I want to be around my family so bad. My friends have disappointed me so much this year, I just want to get to my favorite holiday already.
I never thought I would say this, but everyone was right. The older you are, the more you realize your family is all you have. I've grown so close to them through everything. With them, I have "tenure." They can't leave me. And I know they wouldn't even if they had the choice.
But it is times like these. The ones where you are broke, cleaning hotel rooms to make ends meet, failing school, trying to figure out what you're going to do with your life, and the things you need most disappear.
Well, the ones you thought you needed.
It is these periods in my life that I realize how amazing I have it. I don't usually name names, but I want you to know I have amazing friends.
Allyson,
Ben,
Wes,
Caitlin,
Kelly,
Julie,
Victoria,
Brittany,
Maggie,
Moorea.
In fact, over the course of my life, I have collected quite a few friends who were amazing. Apparently amazing enough for other people to take, but that's neither here nor there.
I have it good. Despite these desperate times, there are people who are still with me.
I still have my music. And I still have my health. And my starbucks giftcard.
Just breathe.

When I started this blog, I would have never imagined it would have developed into this.
As I have moved through this social media class, I have been wondering what "focus" I want this blog to have. Why did I start it? Where should it go from here?
For those of you who have been around for a while, this blog is mostly just my stupid thoughts. I'm too lazy to hand write them and I hate taking the time to open Word.
So, here they are. For the vast of the internet to see.
When I started this blog, it was set to private. For whatever reason, I changed it one day. It gets more views than I thought it would. I don't know why anyone cares to follow the path of a crazy girl, but I hope it is at least entertaining.
I read a tweet from Joel Zimmerman (deadmau5) that he posted when he was clearly a bit distressed. He posted a few more about being upset and then says, 'maybe I should write a blog post.'
"yes you should. it's amazingly therapeutic." i tweeted back.
After a while he thanked all his followers for their support.
So, thank YOU. Thank you for listening. You are my therapy.
I do my best to be honest about my thoughts here. As embarrassing as it may be to semi-publicly share your thoughts with the world, I feel if I decided to start this out as my place to pour my heart, it is here that I will continue to do so. I really don't connect with humans enough to keep me sane.
This makes you my invisible friend.
Always listening. Not saying much back. (Of course I thoroughly encourage feedback)
Welcome to the circle.
Again, should that be the focus? Entertainment?
I'm really not funny enough to be a comedic writer.
I don't travel enough for this to be a travel blog. And when I do, I often don't have the time to be a tourist.
I move along the fitness path a little too slowly to be a fitness blogger. I don't share or get enough information to pass along to you, albeit I have discovered a lot of things I can quickly pass on through my Twitter and Pinterest accounts.
So now what?
Who I am?
Well, I am unfocused. I can't honestly say I'm enough of a fitness freak to dedicate this solely to my work out diaries. No one pays me to travel, so, in consideration of my budget, I can't offer you worlds of travel advice. Just a bit in small doses.
I am a person of ever changing focus. I love learning new things. And I love talking about the new things I learned.
So what I can officially confirm about this blog, is it will never be focused.
It will forever be "The Life and Times of Madison Sites."
