Welcome Friends

Well, well, well. I am shocked at the number of new readers that I have gotten emails from this week. I suspect this is due to my newly acquired Facebook account. Truth be told, I only joined Facebook so I could do research and download pictures of the university I work for. However, I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge the fact that I have not only found myself interested in the whole buddy/friend/wall concept, but I am actually enjoying it.

The only thing that bothers me a bit is that I have -- perhaps foolishly -- signed up for Facebook with my real name, thus revealing the true identity of Momma Pug. Not that I was hiding it. But there is something to be said about total anonymity. There's a certain freedom of saying what you feel without the fear of someone being offended. And I really do try and careful of what I say about friends and family. I know I've accidentally offended loved ones at least once before and I've tried to be conscientious of what I write about since then. I promise, you don't have to fear my using this medium to spread your deep, dark secrets to all of the World Wide Web. I will, however, write a detailed blog about how you busted your ass in Gallery Furniture. Or our antics getting bad a wax jobs. Or tell everyone about the time you were crawling on the floor to retrieve a dropped toy and ending up getting humped by a giant dog. (Names will be changed, of course.)

Inevitably there are people who don't like what I write or have a difference of opinion. Feel free to disagree with me. I do love a intellectual argument. I'm an open-minded person and I'm always open to new ideas. However, if you call me fat, stupid or a bad mother to my fur balls, I will post your hate mail on this blog for everyone to see. I may also be so inclined to call you Pig Whore and dismantle your poorly written diatribe line by line. Then all my friends will probably mock and berate you in the comments section. Don't say I didn't warn you.

So, I bid you warm salutations, friends. Tell everyone you know to come read Momma Pug. We like to laugh a lot 'roud here. Sometimes we even cry a bit. Not everything will be heartwarming. Some of it will be profane. Usually it'll be happy, but occasionally I get the blues -- or even the mean reds. Regardless, I promise to always share those emotions with you in an entertaining fashion. Allow me to officially welcome you to my Web site and introduce myself. My name is Arie, I'm a Cancer, enjoy long walks on the beach, read good books, am married to a wonderful man and live in an amazing city.

My friends call me Momma Pug, and I am very pleased to meet you:

I'm so glad that your and Aggie's blogs are getting more exposures. There are some Facebook application to spread the reach of your blogs. Besides, you shouldn't just have only me to read them.
