Time For A Change

I've been with Blogger since 2002, and though we've had our moments, I have always enjoyed the space and the tools here. Blogger has served me well over the years, given me room to vent my frustrations and go off about whatever nonsense struck me as important. Blogger is almost like family.

I know, I know, cut the melodrama. The fact is, it's time for me to move on. Nothing personal with Blogger, just a need to close the door on this part of my life. Many of you have been with me from the beginning, some of you just hopped on board. But any semi-regular reader of this blog knows that the past year has been anything but stable. I've finally reached a point where I am happy, satisfied with where my life is, and is going. I have a new attitude and am looking toward the future with determination, peace, and a newfound sense of myself.

Meghan Fatras is dead and gone. Meghan Knierim is here now (back to my maiden name, yes) and ready to get crack-a-lackin. Soon I will have a new website to unveil, but for now, I hope you will join me over at my new space for rants and vents and whatever else strikes my fancy. Morbid Musings

This will be my last post here at Blogger. I hope you will continue to spy on me over at LJ. It's a great place, and though right now it's still looking kinda flat, I will, in time, dress it up and make her purdy.

Thank you to everyone who has been there over the years, those who laughed with me, watched me cry, soothed the savage beast, and most of all, supported me no matter what it was I was going on about. You guys give me the strength to keep moving forward.

And a special thanks to Blogger. Without you, I would have surely gone insane.

Bah!

My head is in 30 different places today, most of them happy. Unfortunately, people can not leave well enough alone, so I need to get nasty on occassion. Yesterday was a not-so-great day. I'd say "crappy" day, but lately, that's just not the case. I mean, I get mad, I yell, I get snippy and snarky, but I CAN'T on a whole say that any day in the last few weeks has been BAD. I have to thank synchronicity for that...and someone special who knows who he is.

Remember my so-called "friend" that seemed to cause more harm than good? Well, that shits OVER! I told you that I put up with a lot, and am very understanding when it comes to close friends. But I hit my limit. I'm trying to simplify my life now. I need to maintain a level of happiness and peace...and lately that has been easy. So I'm cutting out the drama like a cancer. It's time to clean house and start worrying about myself for a change. I'm not out to hurt anyone's feelings or be mean. I'm simply out to be as happy as I can be, take care of the important stuff, and just friggin enjoy myself for once. I don't think that's so selfish.

Yes, in the process, I have to do some things that are not pleasant, but I know it's worthwhile in the end. My good friends have noticed a marked improvement in my attitude and demeanor as of late. I like that. It wasn't until very recently that I realized just how miserable I was...and how miserable I was making other people. But that's over now.

Life is good. I haven't been able to say that in so long.

Oh, and on a side note, I just want to say to that special someone...watch out, Sasquatch is watching! Heh!

As promised...

Check this shit out!

The Human Orchestra

MSI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so most of you know my obsession with music, and, one of my all time favorite bands played this weekend. I went to see Mindless Self Indulgence at the Avalon in NYC last night. OH MY FUCKING GOD! I know, I know, I've said it before, but it definitely needs repeating. GO SEE THEM LIVE! I don't care where you live or what you like to listen to, this is perhaps the most creative and brilliant band EVER! Don't believe me? Go pick up their newest CD, You'll Rebel to Anything (as Long as it's Not Challenging). Fucking SOLID!

On a side note, Kenny the Human Beatbox opened for them. I have to give that man some serious respect. He was AMAZING! It was just him, no background music. Fucking BRILLIANT! I don't know his website off-hand, but I will find it and post at a later time. Right now I'm being summoned to put the little one to bed. Just had to pop on and remind you all that if you don't know MSI, SHAME SHAME SHAME!

Over and out!
