On being me

[aka Contrarian]

Here I am, setting the record straight again, doing so, not because I think anybody cares, but rather because some may be curious as to why a 92-year- old-senior citizen wastes what little time she has left, hangin' out on an online discussion forum, engaging in verbal fisticuffs with a pioneer who has never blazed a trail anywhere except up his own butt.

My answer: since the cyber space universe enables one to adopt an alter-ego, and take on a user name and lead a secret existence, quite a while ago I decided why not do this? What the heck. Might be fun. And it has been.

 In the real world, I am a widowed mother of 5, grandmother of 7, great grandmotherk of 8, family members of whom know very little about Nana's on-line activity; too wrapped up in their own pursuits. They just know she surfs the internet, amusing herself by engaging in various activities, and they remain clueless about the extent of my involvement on this forum since they don't come to this site. Nor do any of my associates.

And, rest assured that my  "Contrarian" persona  is different from how I am in real life among polite company.

However, because I can come here and hide behind an avatar, all bets are off and I can express myself anyway I please, Since I'm no longer a single young woman "out-to-catch", I feel no need to tread lightly and act sweet and feminine. I'm off the grid, and favorably impressing men is no longer a priority of mine. Who needs 'em? Welcome to Super Bitch land. 

Anyway, I say all this to say that, contrary to what some seem to think, I do not expect others to ward off my detractors or take my side.  I can fend for myself. Now you know.

 

What we don't know is how much longer I'll be around? Who cares. I don't.  But until my time is up, Nana aka Contrarian will just keep poppin in and out, doin' her thing competing with others who jam the board with long self-indulgent posts full of useless information.

As I mentioned in another thread, however people choose to use their time is great as long as it does not bring hurt, harm or danger to other folks.

 

@aka Contrarian...you already know your contribution to the forum is appreciated by yours truly.

 

Whenever that time comes where we can no longer share and enjoy this virtual space...the memories will linger. 

 

In the meantime, I look forward to you popping in, hanging out and posting here too.

I have accumulated 2000 followers while being blocked by 700 geniuses.

 

Economists and Marxists don't like me.

DA BEARS did it again! I find their last minute victories surreal. 

It has taken me a life time to embrace the "never give up" mindset that propels this team which I have been a fan of for 60 years!

It also amazes me how emotionally invested sports fans are in their favorite teams. 

I dont know how  many times I ve heard people say "now I can get a good night's sleep", after the Bears pull out a last minute victory.

 

Meanwhile, I'm just enjoying the ride. 'Don't expect a Super Bowl bid but - Chi-town can thank their team for providing them with an exciting season! BEAR DOWN!

Da Bears pulled out a huge divisional win last night. They are having a helluva season.

Yeah that's nice but......

I wanna hear (read...lol) some more about you being YOU, lol.

@Pioneer1Not a chance, Not giving you an opportunity to put your malicious spin on what I say so you can go into your distortion/exaggeration mode, as in changing, "frequenting intimate jazz clubs" to "bar hopping". 

My reminiscing will no longer be fodder for your contamination.
