Blogaholics Anonymous - by Patty Mooney


My name is Patty Mooney and I am a blogaholic. I have Cyber-estate that dots this virtual landscape from desert to mountains to sea. I love to let my fingers do the running as I expound on mountain biking, poetry, travel adventures, romance, and politics. When I "hung ten" upon my first "net-surfboard" - via a Macintosh SE back in the late 1980's - I had a healthy fear of the unknown. No surfer wants to get scraped up on rocks or have a big chunk taken out of their ass by a Great White shark. So I was careful of scammers and spammers. I learned everything I could about Search Engine Optimization, Google Analytics and keyword optimization.

And then I started to blog. And it was fun! But then one blog was just not enough. So I'd get home from a video production gig and work on A Diary Left Open as well as A Life In Business. And then there came a day when I was lured into the Wordpress zone, and started a blog that featured some of my Pocket Productions (music and poetry videos that I shoot with my small Canon camera - not what I would consider professional, but fun). And then my blogaholism really escalated. It was simply too easy to click on "Add Another Blog" and within minutes I had another one.

There's Pocket Productions, and Air Poetry, the Lamp Hat Collection, Soldiers Heart and Diary of a San Diego Video Production Crew. Yes, I do type pretty fast. But by day, I work as a video editor and sound technician. And on my time off, I enjoy mountain biking, sleeping in and long walks on the beach... Not to mention breakfast, lunch, dinner, and time with the hubby. And did I mention mountain biking? And long beach walks?

So I hope you will forgive me, dear reader, for appearing to be more elusive at A Diary Left Open. Yes, I'm still here, trying to come to terms with my blogaholism and time-management skills. Barkeep, pour me a tequila shot. Make it a double.


Please feel welcome to join me at my Facebook Lamp Hats page and Facebook Air Poetry page.

I have often thought of starting up another blog because I felt it might be smart to separate my art from my daily life, from my work life, BUT I know me, and if I did open up another blog, I would not take care of it. With that said, I do limit what I put on my blog so you never really see the full scope of who I am.
On the other hand; hi, my name is Denise, and I am a blogaholic. I read 20+ blogs a day and I can't seem to find time to clean my house. LOL A bit exaggerated but these blogs can really suck you in!

Hi my name is Tina, and I am on a downward spiral into the depths of blogaholism. I am a new blogger who is hopelessly hooked. I take it, that is doesn't get better. =)
