I am not following you, its not worth following me. There is nothing of great business interest you can glean from my blog. I am not worth your time.
Not Your Friend,

A Short Commentary on Technology
We all have a love/hate relationship with technology. Its to the point where many, me included, can’t do without it. In some ways its making us smarter but other ways kind of dumber. Perhaps its the seduction of a glowing screen and all the things it can do to supposedly make our lives better. I used to call a cell phone a electronic ball and chain for good reason and now I feel the weight of it because I can’t go anywhere without it. We have lived in the wired and now the wireless age and we are more connected in some ways but very disconnected in others. Technology is our friend and our foe at the same time.
Funny how all of it works for good and bad. We all wait for the latest devices that does the latest and greatest stuff only to see it bettered by new release. What will we see in the future in the next killer apps on the information superhighway? Only the future and people working on silicon valley and in other places know.
This post was inspired by a fellow blogger named Raymond. Check out his blog @ http://encouraginglife.co/
Rambling About Random Thoughts
As far as blogging and most things random thoughts are great. They are the best posts I think. I have a lot of random thoughts that make their way to my blog. Never be afraid to be spontaneous as far as posting goes. Some of the best things we can read are inspired thoughts based upon life and the things we encounter daily. That is why I love to blog both on mobile and the desktop because you never know when a random thought can develop into an idea and a post.
Language Barrier, Blogging Style
When a blogger from another country who writes in a different language decides to follow your blog it can be a tricky situation. There is an obvious language barrier there and you wonder why they might be following along. Maybe its to help them learn your language or for other reasons. Seeing their blog written in their primary language can be interesting.
Some things you can figure out if they are written in certain languages while other blogs are written in completely different characters like Cyrillic, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Hindi etc. They can be fascinating to look at even though you can’t read a thing.
Yes there are translation tools online but I am not certain they are 100% reliable. I welcome people from all walks of life but I just hope there is some understanding there. Building bridges of communication is always better than burning them if you ask me.
Howdy Sunday
Hello friends and fellow bloggers I hope all is well today. A new week is upon us and new opportunities abound. I have a weird week ahead but it those times when routine is disrupted that takes the monotony out of life. Needless to say I will be on my toes.
Whatever you are doing today I hope you are having a good time doing it. This morning we are off to breakfast and then church. The afternoon shall be one of leisure and getting a few things done.
Thank you for following along, I can never say that too much. Grace and peace good people. God bless.
My Appreciation Of Women Who Blog
I am a 45 year old man which you would think I would be inspired by sports, cars and that sort of thing. Those things I do find interesting but when it comes to blogging I gravitate to websites featuring beauty, fashion, cooking and “girly things”. Yes I am not their target audience, but I think inspiration can come from surprising places. For me I enjoy the company of great women in my life, I find I relate better to women. Online this extends to my appreciation of women who blog.
This is not to say that men can’t get just as geeky but I just like the way women communicate online. I was raised by some great women so I am comfortable in learning more about the things women like. Visually the color and content of women who blog is very interesting. In my mind it transcends the traditional gender interests into something unique and personal. Yes my dude card was handed in years ago. I am not ashamed of that.
Perhaps its like that movie with Mel Gibson “What Women Want”. Gibson’s character had to understand women in order to speak to them in advertising. All men should seek to understand the things women like and what they think in order to have a better relationships and friendships with our wives, mothers, sisters, aunts, friends. There are differences and knowing what they are can build bridges of understanding and reduce conflict.
Here on WordPress its cool to see entire blogs focused on things that excite the author and makes them want to share it with everyone. I have always thought that fangirls are a great force for good in the world so I want to emulate that a little in what I do. So I look forward to exploring some great blogs written by some passionate people who just happen to be women. Thank you for putting up with a curious dude.
