So, made the final entry in my Y360 blog last night. I really enjoyed the Y360 community for awhile. There was so much more interaction between all of us there than what you get (unless you're a top blogger in the blog world like the Yarn Harlot) on a blog page such as this one. Then things changed. Not much going on, then Yahoo announces a big change coming. Everything is shifting over to an as-yet-revealed new formated site. Y360 as we knew it will be shutting down sometime in the next few months. Maybe I'm a rat jumping ship; maybe I'm being too resistant to change; maybe I've lost faith in Yahoo ... ?
At one time I had a MySpace page, along with my Y360 page. I didn't like it at all. It was irritating to "decorate", and worst of all, was the gazillion messages to be "friends" with some of the most strange creatures I've ever come across. Now, I'll be the first to admit to my own weirdness, but some of those folks make me look simple docile. And why choose me when there was absolutely no commonality of interests between us? Were they looking for just another friend to add to their friends' list and make themselves feel popular? No clue, but I wasn't interested in having my own friends list bulging with people I had nothing in common with. Then I read about all the nasty viruses and such being embedded into MySpace pages and got out of there in a skinny minute. Click page - get virus. Well, no thank you. Bye. See ya'. Outta' here.
I'm somewhat sad about leaving Y360 and the nice friends I made there. Hopefully, they will come visit here sometime. But on the other hand, it's done and it's a kind of relief. One less thing to keep up with. Been so busy that I've had trouble even keeping up this page let alone two blog pages.
Moving on.
I've been trying to work on the Kwan Yin today. Nasty headache is messing up my ability to concentrate and focus. I can't get the paint to move around on the canvas the way I want it to. Frustrating. Maybe I should just kick back on the couch with Creepy and watch a movie?
Yeah, that sounds really good.
Namaste y'all ...
