"....HELLO?!.....is this thing on? "

i'm not sure how many of you are still out there, but i know that if you are reading this, you are one of a few because i'm not announcing my return to blogging. first of all, i'm not 100% sure that i am returning to blogging; this could be a one-night impulse to publicly share a part of my"self" with the unknown.

2ndly, [yeah, i really can't believe i wrote "secondly" like that either and so badly do i want to delete it, but some part of me won't let the other, and this (run-on- grammatically-INcorrect) sentence was/is the compromise.] i know that in order for me to actively maintain the blog, MAJOR formatting and content changes must be made.

i can't go back to blogging the way i was before. don't get me wrong : i love [most of] my blog previous, but it was not sustainable.

i was too fixated on entertaining.

on getting readers.

on keeping readers.

all of which are [obviously] important if a blog is to be successful.

successful : (adj) [a word i used to understand]

1.

achieving or having achieved success.

2.

having attained wealth, position, honors, or the like.

but, the problem with my previous blogging is that it primarily stemmed from my ego. i wanted you to like me. and, i know some of you did. some of you may not like the new direction of the blog and i'm not even really sure what that direction is, which is the final reason that i'm not doing a [social-]media blitz announcing "D R A M A R C : http://marcherb.blogspot.com as my updates 10 x's a day = PSYCHO.

not even sure i made a coherent point, but this entry is done [for] now.

Mr. Herb and Miss Pennypacker Lambada...sort of.

Ah, BB

Ok, so I should have been asleep hours ago, but I've been playing with my new blackberry. This is the first picture taken on my BB and the second post written from my BB. So now that I can post like this, I may be around more!! xom

G to the C

I'm an official Californian now.  Scary. It only took six years, twenty days, and a police officer forcing me to go to court to prove the validity of my residence with a ca driver's license.

I've now lived in LA longer than I have ever lived anywhere in my entire life.  It's a strange feeling I can't fully describe with words. But, somehow this plastic rectangle arriving in the mail is a symbol : I'm here.

Los Angeles is my home.

Dawn Wells Potato Peeling Video

A customer sent this to me. Not just any customer, but JIM. Jim is at Trader Joe's EVERYday. and by every day, i mean : every single day of the week, at least once,for forty-five minutes--at least. Jim is not in any way annoying. He's actually quite cool. He's in his 70's, very alert, very pop savvy; a retired magician who now puts up special-glow-in-the-dark chemicals on ceilings to make them look like the galaxy when the lights are off. He sent me this video because he thought it was a great way to peel a potato. The fact that he doesn't see why this video is hilarious makes it all the more funny for me. Enjoy.

My First Karaoke

It may not seem like a big deal to you, but to me, this is huge! Clearly, I'm not a singer. It helped that it was one of my teenage angst songs, as did the vodka cranberries.

Smart Car??

Blogs Coming Soon!

I have five or six blogs that I need to get ready and post. I just don't have the energy right now even though I really want to post them RIGHT NOW.

I know you're all holding your breathe with anticipation, so I just wanted to check in and tell you to check back Tuesday for a barrage of posts!!
