Welcome - You Finally Made It

Spirituel:
1. Possessing a lively yet witty nature
2. The blog title of a disgruntled  journalist who has just too much time on his hands.

  American Spirituel is a blog intended to let everyone from scholars to the casual web surfer bark back and forth at each other over ideas and observations.
  Realize that I'm not here to convince you to be a Republican or a Democrat.  I'm not here to tell you to buy American or to embrace someone else's culture. I don't have a clue if you should eat red meat or turn to a "Go Green" lifestyle. I will never tell you that I have all the answers, because I don't even know if I have any at all. 
   Maybe we have to come to the sad conclusion that no one has answers, and that all we have are perceptions. I'm here to share mine with you. Hopefully, you'll oblige me and do the same. 
 Now picture this - you are sitting in your office and your co-worker is yapping about a topic that you can care less about. Or your wife, husband or friend is nagging you about their day at work that you could just care less about. Maybe you rolled out of bed and dread the day ahead of you. Or possibly your parents or kids just don't understand the world as you see it.
 Does it make you just want to grab the person by the ears and scream, "I'm as mad as hell! And I'm not gonna take it anymore!" 
 Too many people feel like screaming that phrase these days. Unfortunately, not enough do it. 
 Well, shout at me. I'm always listening.

New Bloggers


Here are some tips for you guys to help you get going.

For those of you having problems posting a Link, here is how you do it.

As you click on new post, and start writing, on the right hand side it says Edit Html. Click on that. the third icon says insert link.
So Whammy!
Just hightlight the text you want to be hyperlinked, cut and paste the link in after hitting the icon, and that should be that.

Those of you having problems insterting photos or video, Add image and add video is also under Edit HTML. Its going to ask you the layout of how you want the photo to look. My advice - I also put it on the right hand side. just makes the text flow better in my opinion.

So i'd like you all to respond to this post and past your website address (or even better send a link!) so we can all find it and become followers. (i thought by following my blog i could see what blogs you wrote and follow you that way, but apparently they changed that.

NOW. when you publish on your site, if you want to go back and change something, as i'm doing right now, click Post New BLog, then click EDIT POSTS, and pick which blog you'd like to back and edit (you have to hit edit again). Then you can add or delete whatever you'd like. As i am doing here. I wanted a different type of Whammy. Enjoy and good luck.
