Have you ever had one of those days when NOTHING rang your bell? When you just looked at the news and politics and the like and said “forget it”?
Well, that’s the kind of day I am having. So…
Maybe tomorrow will get off to a better start.. Maybe not, burn-out has set in.
Today is one of those days…
People expect me to write something really GREAT each and every day. I wake up to 50 emails telling me, “Fred, you need to write about this, or that or the other…”, and maybe I do, but you know, this is a hobby for me, or, more correctly, that’s how it started, as a hobby…
My damned HOBBY has turned into a demanding job, and it’s killing me…
No pay, long hours and having to come up with great content daily… Then getting HATE MAIL for what I write, and then I get the mail that I HATE, the “Fred, you forgot this, or that or the other…”, I didn’t forget ANYTHING, I got TIRED…
Some folks think this is easy, well, it’s not. I have a suggestion for em, get a blog and try it for a few years, then get back to me on how *EASY* it is to do this day in and day out, with all the critics, hate mail and for the most part, doing it for free, and giving quality blog posts ALL THE TIME..
If it wasn’t for a few VERY faithful readers and folks that make an occasional donation, I wouldn’t even be doing this, and to those fine folks that DO stick with me and make donations, I apologize for this rant and burnout, I am hoping it’s only temporary…
I am taking a break…
Been there.
LIVING it.
I submit to you, sir: I tried to do my part.

Further:
I know how you feel.
I’ve been writing since 2004, when my former “girlfriend” left me high and dry, draining my cabin of most everything INCLUDING the metal door pulls on the cabinets.
The TV, the sofas, the furniture, one bed, the washer and dryer, the stereo. My cabin was essentially BARE.
It was my BLOG that kept me, partially, alive.
And why I’m still here NOW, lo, those EIGHT YEARS later!
How many people can say they’ve continued with a blog for EIGHT YEARS — ?
And I still have a job, and I’ve not yet retired — and can’t yet afford to.
Do NOT give up, Fred!
We NEED you in the Blogosphere.

I’m not giving up my friend, giving up is NOT in my make up… I’m just terribly burned out right now…
That piece I posted about the Upside Down Nation, I get an email telling me that it belongs to someone else and THEY want credit for it, and they provided a seriously suspicious looking link to a *blog*, I didn’t click it, I sent it to SPAM and blocked it, but the point is, I am getting all kinds of crap like that, all the time…
Almost daily I get an attack attempt, thank God I have the computer knowledge I do and the tools to keep those attacks from doing damage…
It seems like the harder you work to get the truth out there, the harder you work to bring an end to the socialist screwing this nation is taking, the harder the moonbats attack, or try to..
I’ll be back at it, maybe tomorrow, maybe not, maybe a day or 2m I have got to get ME in a better place mentally, and I hope that once I *recharge* a bit I can do some more damage to the left and the ASSHOLES that seek to destroy our wonderful nation…
I’d send you a few home brews if the sugar content wasn’t so high…
