Introduction:
What is one supposed to say on an about us page? I don’t know? I’ve been blogging for 10 years. But I’m not a blogging maniac. I write when I feel like it, and rarely surf around, to comment on other’s blogs.
Depth Magazine is my view on the world since birth. I don’t claim to be an expert on anything, or an excellent writer, or a historian. But we all have a perspective on things which have gone down in history. Entries are placed into the system with the date that the event happened. Even if I wasn’t a blogger, at that point. I do this because this blog is a timeline of my life. Entries are always being updated, as I learn more about world events; or gain a new perspective on personal events; or links go bad, etc. And many bloggers read my site. I think because it brings back memories of their take on the past. But I want to stress that Depth Magazine is a blog for my loved ones.
About Me:
I guess I’m supposed to get a little bit personal? Well, let’s see, ummmm……I’ve lived all over the U.S., and several places outside of the U.S. It was one of the benefits of being an army brat. I spend a lot of time in Maryland. Because my mother lives there, and her health is not well. Luckily, work brings me to Maryland quite often. I spent a large chunk of my life in Baltimore, so when I’m there, I feel at home. Most of the rest of my family lives in either California or New York. Work also takes me out that way. I’m fortunate, in this regard. Most of my friends are in Seattle and Austin. And guess what? Work takes me there too!
What else about me? Well, I am single/divorced, and have no problem with that. I have a long history with clinical depression. I blog about it a lot. Because I worry about the younger kids. I would like them to read my experiences, so that they don’t feel as alienated as I did; if they were to inherit this illness. Last thing, I’m 40 years old. 39.5 years out of 40 years is 40! I’m old!
More About Depth:
When I was a child, my grandmother suffered a massive stroke. Her memory was completely depleted. Not only was I sad that she was no longer the same person, but I grieved over the loss of the things she shared with me. All the family secrets, cooking recipes, etc. I’d never be able to learn those things from her. So I decided to chronicle my life. It’s a combination of my view of world events, and my own personal experiences. I do this so that the little ones in my life will have a legacy, to look back on.
As far as my audience, it’s people I know out in the real world. I have no desire to make or maintain online relationships, through this blog. I don’t accept comments from strangers. Admittedly, every now and then, I have posted a blogger’s comment. But it’s only been in circumstances where their words really resonated with me. So, if someone truly feels a connection with my writing, feel free to comment. I’m not so xenophobic that I won’t publish anything from others! But I always look at it from the slant of, “will this person’s words give my family and friends a better understanding, once I’m 6 feet under?”
