END OF BLOGGING
I've never seen so many spammers and robots invade personal blogs like mine. One even had the message that says, "Hey I just want to make some money!" It's really pathetic. I do respect you guys but no thanks, if you want to make money, get a real job. Spamming is not a real job in my book. Millions of people around the world are blogging. Whatever I want to say in my blog at a certain point in time is probably being said a million times over somewhere else in the wonderful WWW. I don't want to add another voice to millions of voices out there. It's pointless. I need to relax and blogging is not relaxing for me. More than ten years ago, I felt I was the only one writing in the virtual world so many people flocked my site. But technology grows exponentially (blogging however is not technology to me since, well, you just sit down and write on it without knowing the mechanics behind the blog. If you look at the template and start playing with its code which is usually in php lingo or c++ or java or whatever, then you are a technology man. Writing about your feelings and adding a little picture on the left side plus attaching some you tube videos here and there is not tech, it's called writing or blogging or art , and I swear I want to be computer lingo guy and an artist, not solely a blogger. I want to create my own 'blogspot.com' for millions to subscribe to instead of 'my_fantasy_world.blogspot.com' for myself only :). Hey, I do write but I prefer them in regular web sites, not blogs. Blogs can be brutally unstable (especially with hidden databases) and you need to deal with millions of spammers and robots. Moving away from blogs is a personal choice, and I don't suggest others be like me. Heck, you don't want to be like me. I am a boring blogger. Yeah, I have to admit it. Some people have a way of attracting readers because of what they have to say to me, I attract only myself and some of my curious relatives. So, really, if I need to send a message out there to myself and my relatives, I can use a webcam, email and the good old phone. Some people are meant to be good bloggers, I am meant to write private diaries and program computers. The older you get the less exciting are the experiences you can share. I may want to explore the world every day after work but trust me, at a certain age, you just want to go to bed after an 8 hour work day. Especially with a most physically demanding work like my job. No wonder I rarely find Physical Therapists over 50 who are still working full time. The job can be hard on the body. After each day, I feel like I need all the rest I could have. My spirit may be willing to go out and party but my flesh is begging for sleep. I've tried to fight my fatigue, like forcing myself to go out one night - and I just ended with some intermittent palpitations. That scared me. I know some guys complain of developing atrial fibrillations in their 50's and man, I don't want to have that fate if I can help it. I need to relax and chill out, really. I will be 46 years old this year. So I closed the blogs I can't maintain anymore. Hopefully I can design my own code for a personal web site that automatically posts my entries someday. For now, I need to filter some stuff out of my web sites. As usual, be patient with me. Return to Home |
