			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve thought a lot about writing in the past couple months &#8212; what to say, how to say it. Can I be cheeky when life is just shit? There are kids dying in Afghanistan, what&#8217;s a little knee issue, for god sake? </p>
<p>For two decades, writing&#8217;s been the thing, the way. It started with a diary that I didn&#8217;t want to lock, because I wanted it to be read. I wrote for money too &#8212; everything from incontinence issues for a home health care magazine to big splashy front cover articles of a leading mag. I learned to move writing from Me writing to You writing. Blogging is the former: 3 Garzas &#038; La Gringa is Me writing, take it or not. </p>
<p>Somewhere in between drug hazes, physical therapy rants and small kidlet updates of the past two months, I realized, it must suck to be a reader right now. There&#8217;s really not much here.here unless you&#8217;re me. And then, it&#8217;s everything. It&#8217;s my diary that I intentionally left unlocked. </p>
<p>So there you have it. Me not you. And so I go onto my next post, narcissistic on-demand.</p>
