After doing this on two different social networking sites for almost five years now, it's time for a change.
Let me preface by saying that I want to thank all of you for taking time every Sunday morning to read this extraordinary rubbish. Most importantly, I want to thank those of you who took the extra time to provide me with feedback either by your comments on my writings or by private email. It means more than you can ever imagine.
Especially when more than one person tells you to post your writings to a 'real' blogging site...and perhaps get paid for it.
I never did my blogs with the intent of making any money. In fact, I hate the word 'blog'. Not only do I think it's a word that just sounds disgusting, but I don't like the word connected with it.
I've always seen blogs as forums for people to rant about their jobs, families, politics, pop culture, or even a bad case of gout. You'll find a story in the news every once in a while about how someone loses their job over something they rant about. Nobody wants to listen to (or in this case read about) someone else's issues. Especially me.
But then again, that pretext is what keeps reality TV shows on the air.
They call it "Survivor" because you're still alive despite having wasted an hour of your life that you'll never get back.
Come on, that deserved an LOL! Humor me!
Thank you.
Fortunately, blogs have come a long way, having talked to some folks who have made money doing this. One in particular writes several on parenting and makes a modest living of it.
So, why not expose my drivelous diatribe to a bigger audience?
That said, you will find all future columns (yes, I'm still going to call them that) through blogger.com, and I will post them to my Facebook profile for your convenience.
Oh...and don't forget to patronize my advertisers, who soon will actually pay for what I have to say.
What a scary thought.
Also check out my sister column..."Old School Dad", on this same site.
