Chapter One

"Welcome... to the desert... of the real."

-Morpheus -"The Matrix"

Here at "The Rave" you will surely encounter many things, ideas, thoughts, opinions, stories, feelings, all for which I will make no excuses, or disclaimers for. I've had a number of people tell me over the past few months (in some form or another)-that I should be a writer which got me thinking. It's something I've always wanted to do...you know the whole "Carrie Bradshaw/Sex and the City" column that I wish I could write for some fabulous magazine or paper. Obviously that's not in the cards for my life. What is? A Blog. A place where I can talk. About what, you ask? Anything and everything...so reader beware. This is me.- For better or worse. :)

There are many instances when I am expressing my opinion or thoughts on a certain topic or event and my darling husband will refer to it and say, " You were raving..." If I am, I will be the first to own up to it...but most of the time I am actually not. I try to contain my more severe feelings and opinions for my inner-monologue so as not to offend the delicate nature of the male conversational pattern...HOWEVER. It is then that I calmly and gently remind him that if he would like me to REALLY rave, I will. - Thus, the blog is born.... Welcome to, "The Rave" ~
