With all the tech we have in our lives it can generate a level of frustration when your devices doesn’t work like its supposed to. Simple things such as maintenance can be a major ordeal. I was replacing printer ink cartridges today and now my printer won’t work. I have gone online to see what could be happening but nothing I have found is helping me. This first world problem is very real. All I want to do is to print stuff. Arrrg!

Daily Prompt: Aware
The world is going by way too fast. You have to pay attention to everything around you. It’s important to be aware of ones surroundings as to not get hurt or in trouble. Your senses are needed daily to keep you in tune with what is going on. Some things you just have to keep your eye on so you can be aware of the things that are happening in real-time. If we are not aware something good, something special can be forgotten and that is when sadness is the greatest thing you feel. Be aware because your life depends on it, every day.
Keeping Up With Community
I am discovering I can’t keep up with every post from my blogging community, it’s really hard to do so. Conversely I don’t expect you to keep up with every one of my posts and you know how much I post in a day. This is something I shouldn’t stress about because life has plenty for me to be stressed out about. I am grateful for those who visit when they have time and appreciate their interest. Keep on blogging everyone.
Daily Prompt: Heard
People with voices want to be heard. Sometimes the issue is about listening. Noise can make it hard to be heard. When people speak they have a strong desire to be understood for comprehension for respect. Protesters want their message to get across to those who they hope will receive it. To be heard is to be loved and cared about. It’s always good to let those in your life know they are heard too.
Mentioned In Good Company
A couple of bloggers recently mentioned my blog in their blogs and I was very honored to be among great company. I have been mentioned by other bloggers too and I thank them for their interest in what I do.
This is what Jason @ Opinionated Man had to say.
Tony Burgess – https://tonyburgess1969.net/
I’ll be very disappointed if Tony isn’t as great of a guy as I think he is. His posts are so unassuming and his humor strikes me in the right way. I’ve enjoyed my connection with this blogger and I would suggest his website to any new WordPress user.

Blogger of the Year:Tony Burgess
When I first saw Tony’s blog I was at a loss, his posts were short, and at the time I would have called them status updates more than I would blog posts. But for over a year I have followed him to work, enjoyed delicious dinners with he and his amazing wife. I have gone to the movies with him, and enjoyed the sites of (one of my favorite spots in Tennessee) Chattanooga all from the comforts of my couch in my living room. Tony is active in supporting his followers, and feels more like a friend and less like just another subscription on your blog wall. He is your break from monotonous poetry and overstated advice columns, he is real, authentic, and a breath of fresh air. He is the guy, that everybody knows his name, you find some exotic new blog that’s way off the beaten path, chances are you will find his comments there too.
One thing about my blog is that I post about the world around me and what is going on in my head. Having come from Tumblr I have taken the concept of smaller, shorter posts here so you can visit, read and get on to the next post of mine or someone else. I want to thank Jess and Jason among others who have appreciated my brand of blogging.
Four things I would advise any blogger to do and none of these things is rocket science or brain surgery.
- Post frequently – It builds an audience and keeps your skills sharp
- Be authentic – Be yourself
- Be the star of their own blog – Your blog is about you first
- Keep on blogging – Never stop blogging
WordPress Question
Are there bots posing as blogs on WordPress? I get followed by blogs who have no content or are nothing but ad sites posing as blogs. I don’t wanna be followed by these blogs where there is nothing going on or perhaps they are just data mining…I hope I am making sense here.
