Changes to the blog

As you can see, I have decided to forgo the whole “Blog in black” schtick and turn the lights back on around here. I am beginning to come out of my burn-out funk. I just felt like things were getting overly stupid and needed to take a bit of a break. Hopefully, on Monday, I will be able to get back to the writing in full steam here. besides that, the site is not making any money and I really need to make something here. As I am getting some complaints from “you know who…” so, I will be writing a bit more here.

What I will NOT do around here, is stuff like this and this here. I mean, how classless can you get? Threaten to quit, because people are not tossing money into your Tip Jar? That is so “white trash,” that it is not even funny. I have the donation stuff in my side bars and at the bottom of each post, if that is not good enough; then I just do not get any money. For the record, the only time I really honestly thought about quitting was when I was accused of being a Neo-Nazi by some people, who have now been vetted by Debbie Schlussel as being Jew-Haters themselves. The other time was when my former host started acting like complete a-holes. I did end political byline, my former blog, because the Iraq War was basically over and at the time; I did not have another host lined up and at the time, I did not have the cash to get hosting.

More than all of the above, is just the fact that I do not write for the money. I write, when I am in the mood to write; because I happen to love my Country and I am not pleased with what both of these political parties have done to us. I have been doing that since 2006 and I do not regret a minute of that time. When things were really bad, with the first blog; I just kept writing. For a good 2 or 3 years; I did not make squat, especially when I was on blogger. Back in 2006, when I was rooting for the “other team” on my blog “The Populist,”  I did not make hardly any money. I tend to believe that was because the “professional left” did not like me, because I was not on board with the “Gay rights” crowd or the “Baby killing” crowd. I did make a little bit with “Political Byline,” during the Tea Party era. I rode the wave, and then when the GOP started doing business as usual again., things fell off. But, I am here and I am still writing; because this is what I do. I would like it much more, if I got some sort of full time writing job or at least a contributor gig somewhere. But I am just grateful for the privilege to be doing this at all.

Life is what you make of it; you can make life to be the horrible thing or when life hands you lemons, you can make lemonade. It is all in how you view things. As for me, I am making Lemonade and selling for 5 cents a glass. Step right up, get your lemonade here!  😀
