Semi Occasional Drive By Blogging

 

Why have I not been blogging recently?

A situation that I’m hoping to explain in depth within the next few days is finally coming to an end and I didn’t want to comment on it until we have closure.

Those who are close to me already know about this battle. Those who are not will appreciate the entire story as soon as I write about it.

I believe that nothing is more distracting than a home situation that is bad. It affects everything else that you do from your job to your family to your friends and in other ways that are probably too numerous to mention here.

Suffice it to say that this situation will end in a few days and when it does, I can go back to my semi-occasional blogging the way god intended.

Thanks for semi-occassionally reading this.

Whitney Houston: R.I.P.

 She was a big part of the music I listened to growing up. I remember buying her albums on cassette tape. I also thought she was one of the most beautiful women on the planet.

She will be missed.

Motivated Writer

 After finishing “How Firm a Foundation” by David Weber I find myself incredibly motivated to write. I was curious about when the next book would come out and so I went to David’s website.

On the front page was a post explaining that David is busy writing the 6th book of the Safehold series and in addition to that, he also has a Twitter account and he’s tweeting updates.

I suppose that after seeing that David is already hard at work on his next book shows me that I need to be hard at work on my screenplay.

Thanks David.

Another Mess. Please Excuse.

 I have changed back to my old trusty WordPress Theme but not without problems.

A whole lot of stuff needs to be reconfigured. I mean. Really? Who needs to update a damn theme?

I am tired of updates, especially security updates. Why? It tells me that you have no fu**ing idea how to fix your problem. The more security updates you push, the less you understand the problem. If you understood the problem and knew how to stop it…well…you get the idea. 

Ok. I’m done now.

A Life Online

 Do not live your life online.

If you do, you are doing it wrong.

The time you spend messaging, texting, or posting on Facebook or Twitter could be time better spent with someone you love. Who deserves the attention more? 

 

I would tend to think your real flesh and blood loved ones do.

I can say this because it’s my blog and I’ll write what I damn well please.

 

That is all.
