I'm really confused now. I always figured that the key to moving up the rankings at Blogit, was to write often and to comment a lot on other people's blogs. That way people will get to know you better and you'll get more clicks It worked for awhile. Now, even though I do a blog nearly every day and... Sign in to see full entry.

I love writing. I guess now that I'm a professional writer, I'd better. The funny thing is that up until last month when I started writing full time, I didn't fully realize how much I love writing. I mean, I knew I liked to write, that's why I wanted to do it full time. But it wasn't until I started... Sign in to see full entry.

Lying in bed this morning, I suddenly got this feeling that I want to date other people. Other people besides my girlfriend Lisa. Who I've been dating for 16 months. Who I live with. I don't know where this feeling came from. I don't even have anyone else in mind I'd like to date. The thought just... Sign in to see full entry.

It occurs to me that in all the essays I've written for Blogit, I've never written about my philosophy of life. I suppose I touch on it in some way or another in all my essays, but I've never expressed it directly. If it feels good do it. That's my philosophy in a nutshell. If that sounds selfish...

I hate college sports. I seriously hate college sports. When I see a college football or basketball game on TV I can't change the channel fast enough. Within three seconds of seeing a college game, I start wondering how many of the players are bona fide students, and which are essentially... Sign in to see full entry.

Don't look now but I've snuck into the top 100. (Oh all right you can look now if you want).

It won't be long before I'm... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, I've now officially switched my party affiliation back to Democrat, so now it's time to decide who to vote for in the primary. (Here in Merryland, we can only vote in the primary for the party in which we're registered. I switch back and forth based on which party has the more interesting... Sign in to see full entry.

I don't think I'm the marrying kind. Duh! Forty-Four years old, never been married and I'm just starting to figure this out? Heck a lot of people my age are working on their third divorce. I used to think of living with one's partner as basically the same thing as being married. Or at least a step... Sign in to see full entry.

I've been thinking lately about whether or not I should continue hanging around here. Nothing to do with folks being banned or anything like that. It has to do with time and money. Now that I'm a professional writer, I'm wondering whether it's worth my time to hang out at BN. After all I'm doing for... Sign in to see full entry.
