Ever since I was little, I’ve always wanted to be a writer. I took up writing on my own in my free time from school, in 6th grade I got the ‘future writer award’, I have manuscripts/novels of (almost) finished work from where I wrote them in middle and high school, I have a collection of over 200 (more like 3-400 now) of poems. I even self published my first poetry book on Amazon Kindle store back in August.

Not only that, but I have been writing on blogs for a very, very long time. I’ve written on this particular blog since 7/11/2010 and it’s been an interesting road. I feel like I’ve written tons of entries, but I guess I really haven’t. I’ve only written 100ish entries per this blog since having it.

But I lack something. I lack a topic to write about. I lack a lot of commenters. I feel like I lack readers. What can I do to make people read my blog? What can I do to keep your attention? Give me advice. Leave me comments on what I can do to gain readers!

That being said, I’m quitting blogging here for a while. A good while, probably. I might be back sooner than later. You can catch me on Twitter, Facebook and so on. I might write on my business blog PitchmenEnthusiast.com but I might not. I need to figure out why blogging isn’t working out for me. Or, why I feel that way.

In the meantime, if you guys didn’t know, I’m a part of a really sweet deal at SD Skis. I’m the VP, Marketer, Social Media, eBayer, admin, etc with the company and we are close to getting a storefront place for offices, retail store, garages and etc. I cannot wait! It’s keeping me busy. There’s about to be even more changes (for the better) and I’ll have a little bit more work to do. I need to focus on marketing, for sure, and making sure I do it right.

So… this is goodbye for a while. Please don’t take me out of your RSS feeds because I will be back (eventually).

Friday I had to go pick up something from my boss’ house, it was later in the evening, and as soon as I got done there… my car accidentally drove me left over the bridge to.. Indian Rocks Beach. I didn’t care it was late (almost sunset). I needed to see the ocean. So, as soon as I went down off the bridge – for that small moment – I got to see the sun meeting the ocean. It was a beautiful light pink and periwinkle color and the ocean was this.. well, it just had this ” ‘a-ok’ Friday night moments out at the town” look to it…The town was hopping. I hope that one day we’re able to get some kind of a house or condo down by the water. The town sure was lit up for a Friday night. Everyone was out walking, tons of cars were parked at several restaurants that had bands playing outside. It made me go ‘aaaahhh’. I drove in the circle of beach houses where we had our 1 year anniversary party. They changed the color to all of the houses, it’s not pink anymore. Anyway, I turned around and headed back inland to home.

I’m very annoyed that I just.can’t.pull.it.together enough to clean this living room! Things are still scattered everywhere. I even threw out a bag full of trash found on our coffee table, stacked up in the corner and on the floor. It’s looking better but still. Within this moment, I realized that I am a notebook hoarder. A bad, bad notebook hoarder. I have a notebook specifically dedicated to every story I’ve written, new poetry, old poetry, sketches, journals of several kinds, business notebooks dedicated to each work I do and work-work notebooks and jeebus ah-mighty.

Since I have a new “journal” type of journal for collective thoughts when I’m feeling…collective… I think I’m going to use a certain notebook for specifics of metaphoric or symbolic items I have come across. This will help me within my religion (of Earth, of Pagan, of Wiccan, of Soul, of Spiritual, and of Pirate) to find some peace within… and for good items to write about in books. I have little pieces of jewelry or small items (like animals or jewels or etc) that I can definitely put in there. Why am I even sharing this? I’m sure no one really cares… or will ever read my journal full of this. But! Alas, if there are items in my books… you’ll know where it came from.

Speaking of that, I have to mention that while looking through Twitter yesterday I found this amazing blog called “Hop on History” – this is the tales of the Crypt Keeper of the gravesite at Christ Church. Oh em gee! I bet it’s amazing not only for how much history one collects over the years of BEING there, but man… being a graveyard keeper. Of Christ Church, nonetheless. Anyway, I really wish the guy updated more or had more entries… I’ve already caught up on them and want to know more.

Gah! All this talk and it’s making me miss Philly so bad! Oddly enough, I need some spiritual connection with Mr George Washington too!
