Hello BlogSpot, it's me ValSox...

Hi...and welcome to my blog on blogspot.com. One of my Facebook friends, Allison H (who I used to work with at Barnes & Noble in the mid '00s-hey we can say the '00s now!-and found me on Facebook after I posted a comment on a mutual friend's (Scott B.) wall), had it on her profile. Seemed cool. I really needed a new place to blog. Give my thoughts, opinions, stuff that you think may not matter, but I think does...I used to do my Pointless-Points-of-ValSox blogs on MySpace but, let's face it, who's on MySpace anymore, anyways? Haven't blogged there since last February. Anyhoo, so here comes Blogspot.com...And I welcome it with open arms.

The subject of this blog is, well, read the damn subject line...I'm just saying 'Hi, It's Me ValSox'. So Hi, I'm ValSox....Well, my legal name is Valerie. But I hate that. So call me Val. Or better yet, call me ValSox. That's right, ValSox. Where did this name come from you ask? Well, I'll tell you.

Let's go back to April 2008. One lovely evening (well, not for me, it was nice outside)-oh wait, I should mention I am a Boston RedSox fan, that way you won't think I jumped in the middle of something with no explanation-oh wait, one lovely evening--ANYWAYS, this said lovely April '08 evening, I was on MySpace and mentioned my status as something along the lines of 'disappointed about the clobberfest between the RedSox and Yankees the prior evening'. One of my MySp friends, Joe C, a New York Yankees fan ( and also a Facebook friend) commented back with 'HAHAHAHA' and the rest I forgot. This started a cyber war of words. Which has yet to end. In the midst of the nearly 2 years that Joe and I have been cyber taunting, he has designated this name on me. And I like this moniker. Have I grown tired of it? Nope...and probably never will. Nice try, buddy. I look forward to the '10 version of 'Your team sucks!' (altho I do have to add that Nick Swisher is actually kinda hot-did you see him on 'How I Met Your Mother' on Feb. 1st)....

Before I leave you, I will say or answer the question 'what will my blogs be about?'. Just mundane stuff probably. I'll try to live up to my 'promise' I made to my fellow Smith '98ers in my SAQ column (that was in the Anniversary issue that came out in late '09), and continue with some entertainment themed blogs. And, what the heck, give my thoughts about what has gone on in my life.

So if you're reading this and continue to do so, then thank you..I love you. Hugsies? Nope? OK....I'm sick as of this writing so that's a wise choice.

Til next time amigos!

ValSox :)
