I suck at blogging

There, I said it. Now you don’t have to.

This isn’t unusual. Most people suck at blogging, especially people with blogs. However, I pay for this site every month and I don’t use it. That’s bad.

What makes it worse is that I actually have interesting things to say. My life, especially since I’ve launched this site, is pretty amazing.

In the last few months, I’ve had friendships blow up, became homeless, and slept in my car. A very loving and dear friend passed away. My buddy and I successfully launched a new website celebrating geek culture that is on right on track and is gaining a following.

I dropped out of school…again.

I ended up getting a job that was so physically difficult, that all I could do when I got home every day was watch T.V. and sleep.

Then, I got hired by the largest, most successful business in my city as a technical writer, a career I’ve been pursuing for years.

It’s been an amazing trip, and I still have a lot of interesting challenges coming up. I’m still (technically) homeless, I’ve been house-sitting for some friends for the last five weeks or so, but that will end in August. So, I will be looking for someplace to live…again.

Let’s see…I’m still in love with my ex-fiance, that’s not easy to deal with, especially since I seem to falling for one of my female friends that I’ve known for years. That’s confusing.

On the plus side, in addition to this awesome writing job, I’m starting to sing really well. I actually enjoy listening to myself these days, I was beginning to think that I never would.

Also, I got a haircut today and I look great!

Welcome to CosmicDog Online

For many years, I used my TypePad blog for both personal and business activities. It worked well enough, since freelance writing and editing jobs were not high on my priority list and the bulk of my online time was devoted to personal expression. Recently, however, through my association with a new website called The Geekery Online, I’ve discovered that I am quite good at this work and rather enjoy it. So, I am expanding my business and marketing plans. Hence, the all new CosmicDog Online.

This space will be used to highlight and promote all of my creative and technical skills and passions, mostly involving writing, editing, web design, and music. You can expect to see new articles and short fiction, perhaps even some longer works of fiction. There will be examples of elegant web design, especially custom WordPress themes. And, of course, there will be new music.

This day and age, it’s important to be versatile and it’s good to be one’s own boss.

I hope you enjoy what I will be bringing forth in the coming weeks and months. I especially hope that you enjoy it enough to hire me for a project or two. I would like that very much.

So, again, welcome to CosmicDog Online!
