I wish there was a setting that would prevent selected blogs from being reblogged by other users. Personally I don’t reblog a lot of stuff because I believe in generating original content. I will only reblog something if it fits in the philosophy of my blog. There is some value in reblogging because of the traffic it generates but there is also a creepy aspect about re-posting something personal from another blogger. With a little imagination and creativity people can do amazing work.

Sometimes
Sometimes you just gotta wonder
Sometimes you shake your head
Sometimes life can hand you a raw deal
Sometimes you are blessed beyond measure
Sometimes people make mistakes
Sometimes they get away with doing horrible things.
Sometimes life doesn’t make sense
Sometimes you need to run away screaming
Sometimes we need a break
Sometimes it’s time to pack it in
Sometimes you want a fresh start
Farewell To Fellow Bloggers
When a blogger finds blogging no longer fun and decides to depart it is a sad thing. Their posts became part of your experience online and they informed you about them and perhaps a little about you. Sometimes people don’t have time or perhaps they lose their fire for it. I hope I never lose interest in this thing called blogging. So to all the bloggers who have moved on I say farewell and may God bless you down the road.
Snoopy, The Writer
When you talk about great writers you have to put Snoopy into the mix. His stories of action and adventure are well chronicled on the comic strip as well as TV specials. His stories of tangling with The Red Baron in World War I are that of legend. It’s cool when you see him up on his dog house with his blue manual typewriter clicking away at some important work. I feel he would make an awesome blogger too. Snoopy has a lot to write about and perhaps we can take a page from his book.
Writing Advice From A Fortune Cookie
As I said in my previous post we ate Asian food for dinner from our favorite nearby restaurant. In my fortune cookie it said…
Four basic premises of writing: clarity, brevity, simplicity and humanity.
I try to do all of these things but I am not always good at doing them. The advice here is sound and everyone can use it in their blogging or other writing. You could also throw a picture in or two to further tell the story.
Transitions
Beginnings and endings
Marriages and divorces
Comings and goings
Now and later
War then peace
More then less
Births and deaths
Life has transitions, everyone goes from one thing to another. People change and life goes on. Never forget we are on a moving planet with seasons and reasons for them. No one will live forever. Never forget.
