I’ve just received the ‘are-you-seriously-trying-to-be-stupid- wake-up call’ I’ve been looking for and it’s jolted me back to reality. Well what can I say? I made my first blogging mistake…see, I’m human. And I deeply and sincerely do apologize to you…yes you, dear reader. It startles me discover people actually take time out of their ever so busy schedules to peruse the ramblings of an idiot illegal undocumented alien.

Hear me out…

It all started when trigger-happy adsense got it into their thick heads that I violated their terms of agreement and stopped ads from running on my page- that was so unnerving. Don’t get it twisted though, the purpose of this blog is not purely financial. This blog has been a therapeutic outlet for me to let out my fears and frustrations, not to mention writing and ruthlessly editing away into the dead of the night trying to publish readable posts. I might as well make a few pennies while I’m at it.

Again, don’t get the wrong impression- whoever said commercial blogging’s easy was dead wrong! To this day, I still haven’t made a penny to my name and probably never will!

(I’m probably beginning to sound like a broken record , but like I mentioned earlier, I couldn’t log in to my admin page for a few weeks…something to do with my IP address. It’s fine now.

In all honesty, I got a rather disturbing email from an anonymous reader a while back, who claimed to be a ‘well-known’ journalist. He literally begged me to take down the posts and shut down my blog as my writing was as he put it“punishing him “ and went on to cite a host of other criticisms and even advised me to hire a ghost writer. Initially, I was undeterred, but later on it started eating away at me- hence, the decision to digress. Typical me- always looking for the easy way out and landing in something I can’t wipe off!

Finally, in light of the latest comment I received from an anonymous reader, I once again apologize for indirectly suggesting “ you shell out a few bucks to read the rest of my adventures on paperback.“ I promise to continue the story of my journey through hell right here. Don’t go away!

    Poland! I knew Russia didnt sound quite right. Pardon the error, i was mighty pissed at the time.

    I guess i shouldnt have cut into you quite so badly… but i did tell you your writing is really good. And i mean that!

    As for mister reknowned journalist, i hope you made it clear to him that he was under no obligation to keep ‘punishing’ himself reading your blog. If your words are that excruciating for him, please advice him to just take himself off quietly and let the rest of us who enjoy reading the ramblings of an idiot undocumented alien (sorry i couldnt resist borrowing your words. lol!) get on with it.

    I’m still here, holding you to that promise and waiting to hear all you’ve got to tell.

    Cheers.
