Well it’s Easter Night and I decided to skip going out to eat with my family and seeing a movie. Mainly because I see no way around some decisions I have to make. Yeah today Jesus rose to heaven and maybe it’s time I rise to the reality that most people just aren’t worth fucking with and I’m wasting my time trying to be nice to people that really don’t deserve it.
See all the times that I reached out to people, linked to people was really just a test because I always worked well with a partner. I no longer live the kind of life I used to when I had real partners. People are to busy with their own lives and sites and I see people spreading the word for sites that I know are a total waste of time.
Everyone is entitled to their own tactics it’s just sad to see so many people chasing Ghosts.
I’m far from perfect and this site is not some guru dude doing everything right and far from it but I know when it’s time to stop trying to get a cat to bark and a Monkey to talk. Hey maybe my tactics of caring about people and my concern for bloggers sets me up to get shit on because it often feels like it.
So I’m going to switch up a bit and write on bloggerluv about blogging and this time instead of GIVING out a whole bunch of links that SOME people even seen and never said a word, I will just write for myself POSITIVE stuff and I will be able to use that as a better site for advertising etc.
So unless a blogger is calling me or tweeting me fuck it I’m going to stay busy maybe by being a dick I will fast forward to rich and people will be calling and hey who knows as crazy as this society is and with as many dicks as I have come across online…hmm maybe I’m on to something… Yeah maybe that’s how it works..
What do you think ?
I don’t know if Tom ever did get Jerry ? Doubt it LOL

Ahh I see you joined me on the late night blogging path, now you know why I didn’t call you when you tweeted me
I was trying to get through a Sunday Smash while reading the posts in my reader before I have to get back to work tomorrow for the first time in almost a week. Wooot!
Not a chance that Tom ever got Jerry btw.

Hope you have had a good Easter John, I came down to my Mom’s last night and have enjoyed a day away from blogging (I did still lurk on Twitter and in my Reader).
I think I have said this to you before, but I think that if you spent less time worrying about people noticing that you linked to them or Tweeted about them and more time linking and tweeting because you think it will help your readers and followers, I think you will get more satisfaction out of it. I am sure I don’t thank every person that links to my site or mentions me in a Tweet, but I do try to.
I guess I look at linking to people from my articles as a tool to help give more information to the reader, not so I can help another blogger, so I would rather hear that the reader got something out of it. That is the point of our blogs isn’t it? Help people get information they are looking for….
Anyway, after this Yankees game ends I will probably head back up the mountain to my house for a little late night work myself.
.-= Keith´s last blog ..Site Changes =-.
Yeah your right
LOL
I don’t even know why I wrote this maybe I was hoping one day things would change
I don’t write for readers I write to my friends FUCK readers LOL
And I link to them and then see they go and suck up to some scumbags with their links and take me for granted
I will just stop dealing with the person
This blog is about people and striving for success and the more obstacles the better
I can say that now as things are already DONE. I just have to KEEP moving forward
Wish everyone was there but hey it’s going down the way it’s supposed
Nothing easy and nothing taking for granted.
Hey at least when I’m rich I won’t have to Thank that many people
Set backs help me but I have some serious things to work on so I won’t have time to try and readjust the mindset of bloggers and even with having MAD proof for everything I say I guess each of us has to take our own journey.
May the Force be with YOU
Thanks glad you have a great weekend
Family is everything
I can see the angst in you when you realize that people speak of sites that are not just worth it. Anyways, I’m looking forward to your positive stuff.
Hope you had a good Easter meal with family John?
And the movie was good, what you watch, if ok to ask?
I used to like cinema, yet no subtitles makes it hard, took my lads plenty when they were younger too, no reason for them to miss out just cos I can’t hear it lol… 40 winks worked sometimes, if it was worth grabbing 40 winks that is… depends which chick was acting!
As for the post, I noticed you link to me sometimes and that, it does get noticed, and is also appreciated but I also, don’t take it the wrong way either, noticed you linked to me in my dashboard but due to being busy at that time on something else I thought, I’ll come back to that later, except I got distracted and that, you know how it can be and the next day I thought, I’ll sort that and the link had gone, so had no idea which post it was. :/
So, while I appreciate the links, as always, do you think maybe seeing as you remove them sometimes people have just missed it while it is linked? If that makes sense?
I almost never remove a link if I link to someone, why bother linking if you are to remove it? That’s just the way I see it, maybe that is why my PR is higher, the value of the link is better, simply cos it stays?
Who knows, but it is interesting to consider and discuss.
We are all learning after all.
I don’t just link to anyone and everyone, I do try to make it worthwhile not only for the readers, and those I link to but the SE’s too.
Links are the currency of the web in that sense.
Anyway, no offence meant by it if it wasn’t noticed.
Keith makes a few good points there too.

At least you didn’t have your in-laws dis your Easter meal because it was this phenomenal ham dinner and not some lame hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill. Seriously, the more I think about it the more pissed I am. They actually told their 7 year old daughter that if they ate with us they would not take her to Dairy Queen for ice cream. WTH? {sigh}
On the bright side, my two kids [still at home] had a fun 30 minute egg hunt and made lots of money.
Too bad Megan couldn’t leave school to join in, but she didn’t miss a beat in asking I just give her some $$ anyway.

Smart kids.
.-= rob sellen´s last blog ..Happy Easter to you all! =-.
Let me just clarify I never remove links even if I don’t like the person anymore or for whatever reasons
Thanks everyone I actually felt bad writing this and need to start this week off on a positive note for sure
.-= John Sullivan´s last blog ..Crazy dumb viral comment post Pls RT Thanks =-.
Ok, sorry, not sure why they don’t show in my links in the WP dashboard then, but due to that I have no idea which post they were anyway. ah well..
I can admit I got it wrong unlike some (not name names mr clark!)
So, what film was it and any good?
.-= rob sellen´s last blog ..Make money online from one of these 95 niches =-.
I didn’t go See above

Ah…
Glad they had a good time then.

I’m so glad that my wife does not celebrate Easter, even though she’s a Catholic — I hate the taste of ham, its the only type of pork I won’t eat.
Hey John-
like the mini job board..cool little widget. We will have to compare notes and see what converts better..
Keep spreading the luv John. I like the kind, friendly John…not the angry John
