To Clarify.

I've never been much for 'blogging'. I first stumbled across the 'blog' while online searching for knitting info. Instead of finding patterns and yarn sales, I found lots of personal blogs, where knitters write about their projects and post lots of pictures. It shocks me to see how frequently these people post in their blogs! It seems to me they can't have any time to do more than knit, take pictures, and write about it. What's the point of knitting and writing about it if that is all they do? Where do they wear the knitted items? Do they give them all away? Oh jeez. I'm ranting. (and in all fairness to the knitting bloggers... I'm quite sure that there is a purpose behind knitting blogs. In fact I've read some. They're not bad. Ok, I got off track again....) Anyways.. this is besides the point. I got over my distaste of the blogging community. Why? Because... this is not a blog for the sake of blogging. This is simply a way for me to keep in touch with the masses. I will be out there doing. Bringing my own knitwear out into the world (well, maybe not in Mexico). the end.

p.s. I'm sorry if you are a knitting blogger.
p.p.s. There is totally NOTHING wrong with blogging about knitting. (but if you are one of those who posts 9 times a day... then there is. Sorry.)

More Than Useless
Relient K
I feel like, I would like
To be somewhere else doing something that matters
And I'll admit here, while I sit here
My mind wastes away and my doubts start to gather
Whats the purpose? It feels worthless
So unwanted like I've lost all my value
I can't find it, not in the least bit and
I'm just scared, so scared that I'll fail you
Sometimes I think that I'm not any good at all
And sometimes I wonder why
Why I'm even here at all
But then You assure me
I'm a little more than useless
And when I think that I can't do this
You promise me that I'll get through this
And do something right
Do something right for once
So I say if I can't
Do something significant
I'll opt to leave most opportunities wasted
And nothing trivial
That life can give you will
Measure up to what might have replaced it
Too late, look
My date book
Is packed full of days that were empty and now gone
And I bet
That regret
Will prove to get me to improve in the long run
Sometimes I think that I'm not any good at all
And sometimes I wonder why
Why I'm even here at all
But then You assure me
I'm a little more than useless
And when I think that I can't do this
You promise me that I'll get through this
And do something right
Do something right for once
I'm a little more than useless
And I never knew I knew this
Was gonna be the day
Gonna be the day that I would do something right
Do something right for once
I noticed
I know this
Week is a symbol of how I use my time
Resent it
I spent it convincing myself
The world's doing just fine
Without me (without me)
Doing anything of any consequence
Without me (without me)
Showing any sign of ever making sense
Of my time
It's my life
And my right to use it like I should
Like He would
For the good
Of everything that I would ever know
I'm a little more than useless
And when I think that I can't do this
You promise me that I'll get through this
And do something right
Do something right for once
