I don’t have any clue what I’m going to write. Part of me wants to write a real strong rant about some people online and the other part wants to whip out some lame blogging tips crap so people can say, ” Oh yeah that’s cool“.
Anyway I guess I’m getting used to my cycles of depression because this month I didn’t do anything destructive or COSTLY. Like last month 
I know in our blogging and in life there are certainly peaks and valleys.
Basically my online persona is very conflicted on one hand I can continue to feel like a sucker being nice to a bunch of goofs or on the other I’m ready to be the Howard Stern of Blogging.
I was thinking to add a SHIT LIST to this blog basically this is how it would work. I would look up a well known person in blogging or marketing and tweet them a compliment when I get no response I slap them on the shit list
I know your thinking DUDE you need to get a life And your right, I do spend alot of time by myself mostly because I don’t like where I live or the people for the most part.
So yes it does sometimes get a little frustrating. Especially when you have stuck with something for a while and you still don’t know exactly what you want to do.
To be honest I don’t fit in with people that don’t know how to do things a certain way.
I really am trying to understand human nature but it seems impossible.
When I was screwing up in life everyone was doing great now that I’m older and was looking forward to playing catch up it seems like most people are whacked out.
I know one thing about life tomorrow is not guaranteed to no one. I should just continue to enjoy my peaceful times and remind myself of just how blessed I really am.
The all or nothing and the I won’t be happy till the world shows me just how much they love me is a very sad place to be. Because I have already been able to change my life and economic status via blogging. I think many bloggers are not sure where they are trying to go. I know where I came from and I know where I’m trying to go. Sometimes you just have to push forward and realize that nothing happens overnight.
If your not happy in an apartment there’s a good chance you won’t be happy in a house 
Oh snap I must share that on Facebook 
I think what I really need is a good blogging partner someone who is ready to blast right to the TOP. When I was running with this one GOOF who screwed me out of a few grand, I looked forward to blogging. I was living that shit 24/7. Everyday we helped each other. Basically I did alot for him and once he was making good money he just disappeared.It had nothing to do with me,maybe he went to prison or got a divorce.
Well I have sites to build, weed to smoke and I just want to say one thing.Today I went to this blogger‘s blog. I opened up with a few RT’s to his lame ass posts as a way of saying SUP etc.
Then I tweet him some YO nice site whatever.Then I saw that he came to this site. I didn’t hear anything and I don’t care if he commented or not but the point was in my mind I want to punch him in the FACE LOL Not really but it’s sad to see this kind of crap so much.Where I’m from if someone does something for you YOU take a second and say thanks. Well I’m a big boy and instead of letting stuff like that ruin my day I just write the person off as a JERK It takes 2 seconds to respond to someone on Twitter or Facebook, those tools seem to work fine when someone needs something.
So what conflicts have you experienced ? I think keeping them to yourself doesn’t help but I know people don’t necessarily want to read shit that bums them out either
I did pop off on some Guru’s on facebook and twitter today because I got tired of people that suck and keeping my mouth shut. I know in real life these bitches would be kissing up to Mr Sullivan.
So have any mini rants ? I also know from experience that it’s often not good to point the finger because we can find ourselves doing the same shit
The whole point is I’m not trying to change anyone but myself. I do realize that the people that I have been cool with from day one are a certain way and the ones I’m not are another.So from that you can interpret that if we are cool that must say alot about YOU and if we are not then keep having FUN on Facebook and Twitter promoting that crap and kissing up to fake ass GOOFS like yourself.
I think I’m going to do something BIG next month and put a wake up call on the whole fucking internet Be ready I have some ideas. I just didn’t bother because of my own “issues”
But now that the smoke has cleared and I have a clear idea of who’s who and what is what I think it may be time to BUST OUT I also have some issues in my house that are counterproductive so I always think if I was in NYC or Florida or anywhere but here I would surely be KING
I just took a nice walk and I was thinking I’m really going to make a shit list and I’m going to leave the comments open, hey you heard of blogroll well this is the opposite of that
When it’s all said and done Life is short and we don’t really have time to sweat the dumb shit.
I always say take care of the people that take care of you 900 words of therapy LOL Well maybe you can think about your own situation and think about what your going to do to deal with it.Here’s some videos let me know what you think and which one you like better.
Thanks

I think this quote, from above, is worth focusing on:
“Basically my online persona is very conflicted on one hand I can continue to feel like a sucker being nice to a bunch of goofs or on the other I’m ready to be the Howard Stern of Blogging.”
I think all of us have a certain frustration with new media: it doesn’t work exactly like old media. Some of the most influential bloggers – including ones responsible for breaking stories and getting key politicians elected – are virtually unknown outside of their niche.
At the same time, that doesn’t mean blogging is about niches only – all blogging is aspiring to be mass media to a degree. If it communicates to a more particular audience, it’s aiming to empower that audience and give them a say mass media itself competes for.
For myself, I’m just like – I wanna treat people well while I’m online, I want to make the most of this. But there are quite a few people I’ve run into here who are beyond mindless, and yeah, I wish for that much more success when I run into them. Is that level possible? Maybe, maybe not, but I definitely act like it is possible.
Yeah, I’ll definitely approve your request soon, thank you so much for the compliment! It’s tough finding people who even want to look at my site: the Internet has actually made me more elitist by presenting me with some harsh realities about the attention span of audiences.
I have a ton of Facebook mail to answer, I’m trying to hide from people on there, esp. an ex-girlfriend who seems to be chattier than usual lately.
@ashok: your a cool guy nice to meet you
Stay in touch I think your writing is on a university level but I went to college
thanks have a great day
Yeah, I’ll stay in touch. Some of my entries are concerned with my dissertation, so they’re really dense (and sometimes they’re not as grammatical or logical as they should be).
I’ve used comment luv below to point at a poem commentary that I thought came out really well recently – I think it’s pretty straightforward but gives lots to think about.
“It takes 2 seconds to respond to someone on Twitter or Facebook”
No! No! No!
It takes me like five freaking minutes to figure out how I’m going to put everything I want to say into just 140 characters.
I’m verbose, I’ve spent about sixteen years taking English and writing classes. Pumping out essays of longer and longer length because the teachers & professors demanded more content, more references, more concepts, more details.
So there’s my mini rant. I -almost- hate Twitter (but I’m trying really hard to use it once in a while, especially since this blog post reminded me I needed to respond to your direct msg – my first direct msg!)
See? I’ve got three mini-paragraphs on the slightest tangent and I haven’t even scratched the surface of what your post is really about.
And on that topic, I’d say you gotta do whatever is most fun. Move forward in the ways you enjoy – That’s where results happen.
(Whoa, that almost coula been a tweet, maybe I’m getting the hang of it)
PS: Florida pretty much sucks too. Then again, certain grasses might actually be greener.
I always try to respond, but sometimes I’m literally on my way out the door and can’t. I’m just like the previous commenter in that it takes me a while to write a 140 character response. I know it shouldn’t, but I’m sick that way.
If I had my way, my blog would be nothing but humor posts, but those are a lot harder to write than most people think; and, there’s almost no blogging benefit other than keeping my regular readers happy and occasionally gaining a new reader here and there.
I have a humor post that has gotten over 50,000 pageviews and has produced maybe 10 RSS subscribers and a dozen ad clicks. If I write a post about blogging—if it’s a good one—I get maybe 500 pageviews which produces 30 RSS subscribers and 25 ad clicks.
So, I’m forced to write non-humor in order to grow my blog. The problem is that it’s a weird combination and the focus of my blog becomes confusing.
So, my blog sits there sometimes with me wondering where to go next.
Among many topics you’ve touched on today, I feel like you’re a male version of me!
“If your not happy in an apartment there’s a good chance you won’t be happy in a house.”
My partner and I were just discussing this very topic. I suffer from depression too periodically, and ever since we’ve grabbed this apartment in NY, (which has made me very happy), I still go through my episodes. So, she said to me, “Well, now that we’re in a better place, shouldn’t this make you happy? Why are you sad still?” And I simply told her that it had nothing to do with where I am, where I live, how much money I have – depression hits everyone regardless of fiances.
On another note, I have to agree wtih ashok, in the comment above… There are so many different types of bloggers with so many different subjects. Also, there are many bloggers as well as blog readers, who just don’t leave comments, but are avid readers of your website. I just had a lady who emailed me recently who stated that she has been reading my blog for 4 years now, but has never commented. It’s amazing what you don’t know behind your blog… Believe me, there are more people reading than you think!
I love your style of writing by the way!
Very entertaining.
I gotta tell you that i loved the everlast song and video, about the twitter thing, At the begining i used to take a lot of time, when marketers invaded my twitter i stopped writting elaboratted answers, i just say what it comes to my mind, and if they dont like it, well, its twitter after all, meet me in real person or call me, but dont expect I execute artistic stuff in 140 characters
