Another one bites the dust.

Two, actually. Day before yesterday I deleted two more blogs to reduce my total to 15 (and still far too many to keep up with). Lack of interest made it less painful than I thought it might have been. Although “Beyond News & Politics” and “Broken Nester’s Take On Family and Education” are now dead...

"If it weren't for bad luck..."

Most of us feel that way at times. I’ve been feeling that way a lot lately. It’s hard not to when you’ve been out of work for months and begun to think you’ll never find another job. Strangely enough, I felt exactly the same way just over a year ago when I was in the same situation. Then I finally... Sign in to see full entry.

Not according to plan.

“If it weren’t for bad luck…” was going to be the head on this post. But a little bit of possible good luck changed that. So “bad luck” has to wait for another day. For now, let me offer you what was the very first post to the now defunct blog “Every Boy Should Have a Dog” in the Pets category: A... Sign in to see full entry.

Bye-bye Pets and Relationships

Adios Mature Audiences, Food, Arts & Entertainment. These are but the first handful of many farewells to come. Notapoet is disposing of most of his blogs, and he has to start somewhere. His blogs in the aforementioned categories have been deleted. Why these five blogs in particular? The reasons are... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi. I missed you guys.

And I could hardly conclude the first day of my return to Blogit! without posting to my very first ever blog. I may have to do something about this blog’s title, though. True as the expression is, I’m not sure I ever liked it as more than an attention getter. Surely I can do better than that. Then... Sign in to see full entry.

Damage control sucks.

I wouldn’t be saying that if I were smart enough to always write on my word processing program and then copy and paste to here. Not doing so, especially when I occasionally lose a post, always makes me feel pretty stupid. This time, however, it cost me more than a single post. Two posts made on the...

I'm stupid, stupid, stupid!

Here I am, a short spit away from being too broke to continue blogging, and I couldn't see the forest for the trees. My last post was a poke at the procrastinators who were facing the April 15th income tax filing deadline. I really sympathized, because I've been there. In fact, during my days as a...

Got your taxes done?

Just thought I'd ask. If you don't, damn I feel sorry for you. You've got a long frustrating day ahead of you. Got a refund due? Then why the hell haven't you filed already? You could have been putting that money to good use instead of letting the government use it interest free for all of these... Sign in to see full entry.

At last, an update!

And its about time. Grumble, grumble, grump. We went a whole day without an update of the overall Blogit rankings. I noticed because I track many things dealing with the nature of the network, and others that enable me to gauge my own progress and relative lack of success. The latter (relative lack...

Gotta have my fix. Where is it? I need it bad?

My daily ratings fix, the morning update on Blogit, where is it? Has anyone else noticed? Is there something I've missed that explains why my earnings (down again, dammit) showed up, yet the overall ratings of all the blogs remain unchanged? I know I'm so shallow and crass that all I really care... Sign in to see full entry.

Why?

Because we are so preoccupied with them. Its not a matter of choice. Its human nature. We're drawn to anything involving sex or violence. Our spiritual side tells us that civilized human beings need to repress their animal natures as much as possible. Not completely. We must reproduce to continue as... Sign in to see full entry.

And all sorts of other foolishness.

Excuse me, folks. No, more than that, forgive me for my post to "KNOW-IT-ALL," my Opinion blog. I'm still groggy from just waking up. I haven't poured enough coffee down my throat. I haven't finished the requisite fifth cigarette needed to clear the cobwebs from my brain. And... I just couldn't... Sign in to see full entry.

Thanks Passionflower, patrolsergeant, beachbelle, & jamryn

for indulging me in my simple little request. Thanks go out to all of the rest of you who also answered my call for attention. Most of you responded to both this blog and "Notapoet's Notebook," an unexpected side effect. It took three days for your attention to boost the rating of this blog beyond...

Notice this blog, please.

You see, I've got this cute idea for a recurring theme in my Journal blog, "Notapoet's Notebook." In order for it to work, this blog has to rank at #100, or better. So I need a couple of clicks so I can use my cute little idea without making too big a stretch. There! I'm through begging for today... Sign in to see full entry.

Homophobia, Lesbians, and Bisexuality

Does the hint of homophobia I discussed in my last post color my perceptions and tolerance of lesbians and bisexuals. Does it lock me into a safe, nonexperimental, and ultimately more boring sexual horizon? Maybe. Probably. I don't know. Its probably worth considering. Its probably worth puzzling...

I have a confession to make.

And yes, it has something to do with sex and violence. I confess that I'm a little bit of a homophobe. I can't help it. I try to be an open-minded individual with a live-and let-live attitude. I try to maintain the attitude that what anyone does, sexual or otherwise, in the privacy of their home and... Sign in to see full entry.

Next on the agenda

is to post to all of the blogs I'm most interested in at least twice a week. I'm not doing so well on that right now. Some of my favorite blogs keep getting neglected for five or six days and longer. This diversity thing that I'm always promoting is great. Then again, it can be carried to excess. I... Sign in to see full entry.

4 minutes to spare...

was the result of my little experiment from yesterday. I posted 15 times in 15 different categories within a 24-hour period. Pretty good, hunh? Not really. I've posted more in a day and in more different categories on more than one previous occasion. Those previous instances don't count because many... Sign in to see full entry.

Setting Goals

Goals can be short term or long term. Without going into a long involved discussion about goals, particularly personal ones, let me say that I'm working on some of both. My longer term goals (and the in between ones that I'm conveniently ignoring right now) have been discussed and /or hinted at in... Sign in to see full entry.

Many thanks go to...

whomever (singular or plural) has been reading all of my old posts lately. I don't know if its just one of you or many. But I have noticed and I'm very appreciative. Many of my blogs that haven't received a post for anywhere from days to months took enough hits to rise significantly in the ratings.... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

Notapoet on "the writing life," sex & violence (maybe), and "Everything Else." Mostly "Everything Else" because none of the other categories are comprehensive enough for someone old enough to have an opinion on just about everything -- including "sex & violence." Sorry about the misleading category name (not really). Cuss at me if you feel misled.
