BIG ASS HUGE WARNING DISCLAIMER - IGNORE AT YOUR OWN PERIL

Okay, here's the deal: Blogger has been having problems with their counters as of late, specifically with those blogs marked as having adult content. Now, this particular blog was marked as adult content since it is written as a train of thought, including all the rotten language that flows through my head constantly :) As a result, I marked it adult for that, not for having pornographic photos all over the place. So, simply put, be aware that there is language on this blogsite, and if you are offended don't bother complaining because I wrote this so that you'd know it before reading, and it is your fault if you don't believe me and decide to possibly get offended anyway. If language of a vulgar nature might make you upset, go read something by Disney.

Big Change A'Coming

So, I went to the doctor today, and we had a talk.  We talked about me exercising with the 360 Kinect, we discussed my trying to get a new mattress so that lying down in bed would stop making my back worse, and we also touched upon this blog.  I told him about the lack of response I've been getting from it, and he suggested I try a different approach - and I think I'm going to do just that.

As a result, over the next few days/weeks, I'm going to create multiple blogs on a variety of different topics.  I do not know exactly what the subjects will be, but I do know that each blog will be devoted to that particular subject and nought else.  This specific blog will remain open for business, but will be filled with whatever doesn't go into those other blogs, as well as listing updates of those other blogs.

Additionally, I will post each and every update upon my Twitter, which you can link to via http://twitter.com/#!/gutrend.  This will allow you to see everything I have to say, both small and large.

Also, one last thing:  I won't be blogging each and every day on each and every blog.  In fact, there might be some days I post nothing on any of them.  So be it - follow along and you'll keep up to date with everything I'm writing.  I can say for certain that one of the blogs will be about my novel writing, just to keep Marigold quiet.

Later all.

Nobody Reading - Should I Keep Writing?

Well, took a look at the last couple of day's worth of people looking at this blog.  At least, page hits on this blog, I know that coming to the page doesn't necessarily mean actually reading it.  Anyway, I see that I have the daily two hits from South Korea (no idea why people or person in South Korea is reading me daily, but considering it is a consistent daily two hits it pretty much has to be deliberate), and a few from the States, but nobody from Canada is reading this.  Now, given that I've told the few people I care about that I'm writing this thing, and all of those people but one live in this country, getting no hits from Canada is like getting a kick in the groin.

So, what that ultimately means to me is that nobody really gives a shit if I keep writing or not, so this purposeful posting daily bullshit I've been forcing myself to do appears to be a total waste of time, just like my last blog was for a bunch of people who could have really cared less.  I tweet the hell out of this, but can't even get people at CTV who have made a huge error in judgment to look at my writings.  Ultimately, this seems like just a big waste of time.

I get e-mail notifications when a comment is left on any post I've written, and as of now I'm not going to bother doing this on a daily basis unless I have reason to believe there is at least ONE person willing to step forward and tell me they want to keep reading.  I'll even re-post my e-mail here for a direct response: gutrend@gmail.com is where I'm found.

If I get no comments or contact or anything, I'll still write here, but it will only be very intermittently, and I am going to tweet this, so we'll see if anyone wants this or not.  Either way, the posts are here and I'm not removing the blog.  See you later, or not, it all depends, doesn't it?
