Blog Gone

Yep. I’m happy about one thing. It’s gone. The blog I loath is gone. Dropped off the front page. I wrote it. I loath this particular blog of mine and I’m glad it’s gone. Yep. Wrong time, wrong place for that piece whether I agree with it or not.

As one fine writer here wrote to me, “Wisdom is elusive.” It sure is, at least for me. I hope to grow in that area. I hate to offend people, but it comes with being opinionated and, perhaps, not being thoughtful enough at times.

New Jersey has been beautiful and warm this spring and even the staunchest reclusives can’t help feeling a lessening of SAD. The sun has been shining through whether I like it or not.

For a lot of people today was the kind of day that a shakes out the winter doldrums. And “Splendid Isolation” (think Warren Zevon) is not always so splendid, is it? (The song is super cool, though.) It’s just good to be around people more again as the season opens up.

The sun after a gray nippy New Jersey winter … can be sublime.

Since New Year’s resolutions are all absurb anyway I’ve decided to make my now: I’m getting constructive things done on my Mac, a Blue & White Power Mac G3. I’m listening to beautiful music (I’ve taken to classical again and now choir music). I’m playing punk-bluegrass-folk-jazz acoustic music on my round-shouldered dreadnaught guitar — making progress on something creative. I’m doing something that I love (as most everyone keeps telling me to do).

And then it might be back to Web production. Hmm. Is this possible?

Who Are We?

Is it a new career? The blogger, that is. I saw on a certain major Cable News TV program people being interviewed (or even working?) and their screen title was “Blogger.” Hmm. An occupation? I don’t know. It was all so fast on the screen.

I thought blogging was just “writing on the side” and open diary-type stuff. I thought it could be newsy or politically opinionated, but without so much digito monstrari. Perhaps not so much, is there? Should there be more? (More would not help matters IMO.)

How will a person make their living as a blogger? Is it a new career path? Should it be? Will it just be loads of people shilling for market edge?

No. I don’t like it one bit.

Anyone have ideas about this here? A wider perspective? (Sorry so many questions with few answers. Yeah, I know, invita Minerva … hopefully conditions will improve.)
