Am I really concerned with being a successful blogger?

What makes a person a successful blogger anyway? Does it have to do with their stats? Does it have to do with making money from their blog? Honestly, it would be nice if I could just easily monetize this blog with the way I currently manage it, but I fear it wouldn’t be that way. Even if I wanted to pay twenty-five…

It's the Druid's life for me

It's the Druid's life for me . . . the druid ruminates on his fate and the author wonders how she got involved.

The Druid, it seems, has always known his path . . .

A: Hey, D. What did you want to be when you grew up?

D: What did I want to be?

A: Yeah – I mean, even way back then, at the dawn of time, you had to have aspirations, dreams.

D: I take exception to that “dawn of time” comment . . . 670 was not the dawn of time, A.

A: . . .

D: Well, it isn’t.

He Pleads . . . Fireworks?

He pleads . . . Fireworks? D has some scandalous guilty pleasures and he tells all today!

Guess who this guilty pleasure belongs to…

A: Come on, D. Spill it. What are your guilty pleasures?

D: A, I’m as close to an ascetic as one can be.

A: That is a load of malarkey – you’ve taken ‘warrior-priest’ to a whole new extreme. Besides, I happen to know your heart still beats in double-time whenever Mairead sidles by.

D: Perhaps – but that is not something for which I feel guilty. Besides,…

Welcome to the Machine

I don’t remember it, unless it’s in dreams, and then I wouldn’t even recognize it if it came up; but I know it may be the most impulsive thing I have ever done.

I’ve never asked anyone about it – the way it went down, the build up and the aftermath, the long moments in between where destiny hung in the balance. To be honest, I’m can only say that I know with certainty the identity of one other…

Bottled Up
