Life Is Short

Goddammit.  Grab the bull by the horns!  Welcome to my third iteration of my original blog, Out of the Lotus.  I've been writing that blog since December 2005.  Another lifetime ago.  How many seconds would that be?  86,400 x 365 x 8.5.  There you have it.  A lot of time.

Why is this the third go-round, you ask?  I have an unwanted lurker on my first two blogs, and no matter how hard I try to ignore their presence, there they are.  And I feel intruded upon.  And I'm fed UP I tell you!  Life is too god damned short to be jerked around by such ridiculousness, but there you have it.  So, if you're reading this, there's a good chance I sent you a message.  Welcome back.  If you found this randomly, welcome to you, too!  I tend to write about politics, the gay agenda, human rights, poetry, photography, my family and especially my grandson.  I try to stay interesting, though I don't always succeed.  But, I do write what I please, and that's really what 86,400 Seconds is all about.  Carpe Diem.

Let the new blogging commence, and if that lurker returns, well, I just may give up blogging for good.  Sucks, doesn't it?  I don't mind people reading my blog (obviously, or I wouldn't blog)  -- I'm pretty self-revelatory and unabashed about putting my life out there.  It's just this one certain personCurses on you, she-devil!

Pest, be gone! 5 natural ways to make my blog pest free:

  1. change the name
  2. change the url
  3. don't list other blogs I read for awhile
  4. don't post comments on blogs that she knows I read (for awhile)
  5. pull blogs I read off my archived blogs so I can't be followed
I'm giving it a go and hope that you'll join me.  Wish me luck!

  6. I will be here to read but guess I don't dare list you on my blog roll as if someone is trying to find where you are, that's the way to go to blogs you have been reading. Makes it tough but you know you can do a private blog and only have it open to those you choose.
