Here we go again...

The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated...

Nor was this an extended stay in a re-education camp. Or a gulag.
In this hiatus I took, I got a little hooked on the instant gratification of Twitter(@mjkatz)

If you are one of my tweeps dropping by the following may make sense or not.(stay with me though because this could be fun)

I stepped back to examine my life as Glenn Beck says 'it will make you miserable' and that you should examine all your opinions(well, he sort-of says that)...

Indeed it does make you miserable but you do emerge knowing what you believe...you have a clarity in your life.
I've learned I believe in God and he does have a master plan.
I believe this country that was founded in 1776/1791 was founded by men who did the best they could, they were products of their times and what seems horrible to us, was common to them(how many of had horrible hair in our teens...see, looking back we were products of the times. Now we look back and think 'what the heaven was I thinking'--the style, etc was that era), a better example would be our parents/grandparents(they grew up in vastly different eras to now and sometimes say wildly inappropriate things)
I believe I am a Libertarian/Independent. Some of you are now cowering or glowering at me. Or you are busy unfollowing me on Twitter. Oh, well.

I’ve reached a point in my life where I don't want all these rules and laws. I’ve also reached a point in my life where I don’t care who you marry or sleep with(this is no time for you show me yours and I'll show you mine... neither of us wants to see me...ewwww). I say this with one caveat don’t force any religion to bend to you if they don’t believe in your lifestyle IE a Muslim Mosque or a Christian Church marrying a gay couple. (Please--its their belief respect their right to believe as they do)

I also think we need to start having fun hence the change of the title of this blog which was Independent Kitty is now The Marie Jo show.(I’ve finally found my ego)

Let me introduce myself I'm the MJ part of mjkatz as in Marie Jo

The Katz was my Baby Girl(she was also an MJ) who is now in heaven, ShadyLady has taken over the katz part of this equation. I couldn't get MJ & Katz at the time and this has sort of stuck.

As you'll see in the coming posts Twitter is actually better for me, it's only 140 characters so I have to be laser focused on what I want to say.

As for how often I'll post..ahh, let's say it maybe weekly? Follow @themariejoshow for when this blog is updated, is the best I can offer. I've left the former blog posts here to show my past opinion, didn't feel the need to 'memory hole' my past.

Let's have some fun because God love those of you who can do politics everyday and stay sane but, I can't I need a little fun.


MarieJo(MJ)
