Please allow me to introduce myself...

I know, I know, there are alot of people out there giving their opinions on life, love, politics, religion and any other thing that they think someone actually cares to hear about.  And we all know what opinions are like...they're like opinions, everybody's got one.  Here's what you need to know about me...my name is Nickie Smith.  I was born and raised in a small town in south Mississippi, we'll get more into that later, and I'm on the backside of my 30's but hopefully not the shortside of time (see lyrics to song by classic country singer John Conlee).  I have never been married nor do I have children but I have many opinions on both subjects along with the many things that I experience while running my family's business and being a liver of life.

Now you may say, "Nickie, who the hell cares what you think?" and to that I say, "Pipe down, sassypants, nobody's taping your eyes open and forcing you to read this."  Things that I'll be touching on are: "What would make you think that outfit is appropriate in public?"; "No, your child is not the bright shining star that you think he/she is.  They're just average."; "Just because I criticize the President doesn't make me a racist."; "Dear Alcohol, look what you made me do..." (I have LOTS of experience with that one); and the ever popular, "Men, WTF?" and even "Women, WTF?" because we can be rather complicated creatures and I'm an equal opportunity opinionist.

I know I'm a little late in the game getting in on this blog thing, but I hope you'll join me.  I'm not sure how often I'll write, it just depends on when the mood strikes or when something  catches my ever-roving eye but hopefully it will bring you some sort of entertainment since it's obvious my lifelong dream to become a movie star hasn't quite come to fruition.
