One thing I noticed about my visitors how is they really remember and use every written word on my site against me when they feel it is a good thing to bring up in an argument. My lovely visitors, if you think it will make me feel bad or you think it is your way of feeling some weird form of satisfaction to insult me, then you are wrong! Wrong, very wrong. I will just delete your comments or maybe block you if I felt it is a repetitive way of you communicating with me, and I will just laugh hysterically at your assumptions and silly accusations.

How many times do I have to explain that blogs don’t portray the person as a whole, but just a part of them they want to share with others. Some days I am moody, sad, depressed, angry, but that’s the reason people come back to my site. It is amusing and it is pretty much why I made this blog. I wanted to find a place to express that part of me that I find annoying and I want to just get all these thoughts out of my head.

Honestly, blogging is a therapy tool if you want it to be, and the audience are free therapists.

However, some bloggers don’t appreciate constant criticism and trash talk insulting them. It is not funny and honestly, this site of mine is not a place for others to criticize me in. I made this blog so I can talk about the things I don’t like about life that happen to me and the way sometimes society works. Yes, I don’t like people I don’t know thinking they can say whatever they want. I have the right to remove anything I don’t like. You can call me a bitch or whatever. It doesn’t matter to me.

I find things odd and strange in my point of view, and I like to rant about it. That’s all.

So, don’t be a critic unless you want to share in my criticism of something. However, if you start pointing a finger towards me and accusing me of nonsense and taking my daily writing into new dimensions and analyzing it your own bizzar way,  then I will just do the simple act of deleting or blocking. Blogging is not supposed to be a headache, but a hobby and a past time for me to enjoy.

Blah Blah, Ranting as usual!, Whatever!

I am not the type of blogger who cares much about the number of visitors I get or the money the advertisement on the side bar is getting me. It is not much, and I use it to cover monthly hosting costs and yearly domain name costs. Simple as that. That’s why most bloggers have these ads.

However, the internet has become a landfill of make money online sites. Almost every other blog I blog hop to is like that. How to make money! Get a real job and then you will be making real money! Believe me, it is not a get quick rich scheme. There are only a handful of bloggers who have succeeded in it. Blogging will not make you money. It will if you are selling something. Yet, what can you sell on a blog? I thought of many things to sell. The only thing I came up with is t-shirts. Who would buy a t-shirt saying “Rebellious Arab Blogger?” Yah, I can see a bunch of problems right there. Just make sure you wear it under your other shirt and not in front of people walking down the street. Make sure it is not even in your suitcase before boarding the plane.

So t-shirts would have been great easy money. But nah.. too many headaches.

Then, I get people asking me to buy advertisement space on my site. I am like wicked. I don’t mind that. However, they ask, but never reply back to me with an approval or action to continue on with the idea. Just ask. Ok fine. Whatever!

Then people ask me to make templates for their blogs or any graphical work to help them out and ask me for a quote. How can I give anyone a quote if they won’t give me the details of what they want? Where you just asking out of curiosity thinking I will give you a cheap quote compared to other sites that will do it for $800+. Hmm, no. I am a professional who does this for a living. I take pride in my work. The more you pay me, the more your site will be kick ass and stands out for everyone to notice!

So how can you make real money blogging?

You can’t. You really can’t quit your day job doing this. I completely disagree with others who promote such a thing. The only way to do it, is not only being excellent in expressing your self and ideas, but to offer a service or a way to advertise someone else’s site in return.

Should I start charging people for advertising on my site to make a few bucks? Nop.

People lost the whole meaning of what it is to be a blogger. Why did blogging even become so popular the past 4 or 5 years? Simple. People wanted a personal site to express them selves, and it is pre-coded and a well developed piece of free software that anyone can use, and also to see how others in the world react to what they say. It is more of a curiosity of what others think of them. That’s all.

However, I think it is pretty cool that businesses and especially software development sites and game design sites have their own blogs. They update their loyal customers with the latest news about their products and how things are going. That’s an amazing thing for companies to have on their sites. Also, actors and other celebrities are using blogs to keep their fans up to date with concerts, new work, and even some simple thoughts they are having. These people are utilizing the advantage of having a blog or an online journal as others call it.

So, for those people who want to start a blog, don’t think a blog will be the ultimate and new age way to make money online. I refuse to believe it. Not with a bunch of daily yapping. I am more grateful to have an audience who will read about my daily thoughts. That’s the main objective that every blogger should have when they start blogging. Also, the best part about blogging is when people subscribe to your RSS feeds and come back daily to check it out. That’s the ultimate joy that every blogger should really want in the end of the day. Having the fans!

Blah Blah, Random Thoughts, Ranting as usual!

How to explain things to people without hurting their feelings?

I don’t know how. I am a very straight forward person and I am always afraid to hurt people’s feelings. So I just tend to be quiet and not bother. The problem is I don’t know how people react. Also, I think I have this sweet spot that I find in people and I tend to over look anything negative about them and I can’t fathom the thought of telling them anything negative and hurting their feelings.

So really, how do you explain things to people without hurting them?

Blah Blah, Random Thoughts

The one thing that depresses me about winter is the constant nose bleeds from the dryness. I hate it. I usually have a humidifier running in my room because of the dryness, but my room is too crowded and I am forgetful and I don’t want to buy a filter.

I am sick of having a tissue paper jammed up my nose. Gross!

Angry, Blah Blah

I always get this same response from people that currently know me. They tell me that when they first met me they were scared of me. I didn’t talk and seemed a bit distant and not very open. I am like a closed book and you have to turn the pages and read it from the beginning and not skip a page to understand.

Once they got to know me, they ended up really liking me. That’s of course if they spent the time and effort to do so. :lol:

I guess I am a closed book where I don’t like people to know me at all and I rather be quiet and not be very talkative. Sometimes I think it is better, but my problem is that I rather be reserved and careful with what I am saying to certain people. Honestly, I don’t trust people that quickly. I think if I have to spend time trying to figure out some people, then they should do the same to me. If they talk too much about them selves, then I seriously loose interest and I know they talk too about others and eventually me.

It is hard to find good nice people to open up to. I think the greatest people I ever met are those who are willing to listen. I guess it is hard with the cyber galactic internet world, but my blog is more of an open book with missing chapters. And the missing chapters are what constitutes me in person. I guess these are the two missing pieces joined together to make the book of my life and thoughts.

Blah Blah, Random Thoughts, They said what?
