_{@NoNamesLeftToUse The Writer/Artist Himself here again on a shitty, rainy day.}

I know I said I wouldn't be around.

There's nothing else for me to do though!

So I present to you:

Don't Worry Though

^{I won't ruin this post the same way I ruined the last post.}

You would not believe how many what the hell was I thinking moments I've experienced since I've been producing this strange blog of mine.

On average, I'd guess at least three times per week, I'll sit here, scratching my head, not because I'm itchy, but because I'm confused and 'scratching my head' is an idiom that isn't meant to be taken literally.

I'm thinking I'm starting to understand why I have nearly 3600 organically grown followers, and 44 votes on my last post.

It's not because the art sucked. It's not because 3500+ people don't like me. It's because: I straight up, out of nowhere, for no reason at all, put the thought of two people with their heads shoved up one another's asses inside the minds of those who were reading.

Oh Crap

^{I did it again, didn't I? Whatever. Live and learn.}

I honestly don't know what the hell to do anymore, but I will at least blame myself when things don't go as planned.

I enjoy writing comedy, I enjoy the darker side and when I'm writing fiction I tend to lean more towards dark humor and horror, chaos, mature subject matter in general. I love producing art and I'm proud to say more than 99% of the images on my entire blog were produced by me, from scratch. The blog is mainly centered around entertainment which under normal circumstances is a huge draw, and yes, on a normal day, my posts were getting a lot of views when we had an actual view counter and I typically receive enough comments on my work to say engagement here is well above average.

I run a tight ship.

Producing original, timeless content was and still is encouraged here. It's no different than anywhere else though. If I was a Youtuber, my content there would be a reflection of my messed up mind as well. I wouldn't be following the herd or chasing the easy money, I'd just be doing my own thing, not worrying about the others, not complaining about how hard it is because I'm one of those types who knows what they're getting themselves into. Blogging, vlogging, social media; none of this stuff was meant to be easy, so I don't expect it to be simple. I want it to be hard, and I know taking shortcuts will only lead me over a cliff.

The Age Old Question

^{What brings value to the platform?}

Is proving the place works exceptionally well valuable enough for you folks?

Not everyone is cut out for this. People failing and quitting is not a sign of a dysfunctional platform. Anyone here can go to Facebook, Youtube, anywhere, and see far more dead accounts than here. There are millions upon millions of failures in this industry. That's just how it is.

There are people on Facebook with five followers after five years of delivering status messages. There are people on Youtube who have worked their butts off for five years and have yet to see a dime for their efforts. I earned something like eighteen cents within my first month here and I called that progress! Not failure!

Now I'm sitting here, nearing 22000 SP. All earned. Still doing my thing. The only change I made since I started was: I got better. I improved. The drive to climb up this impossible mountain still exists, regardless of what new obstacle pops up.

There's one thing that pisses me off though. That is, the thousands of successful people here who are ignored and shunned, hidden from view, when people go to the trending page to say the place is failing. That mentality does not bring value to this place yet there it is on the front page, towering over the truth. That message is absolutely worthless.

I am not a failure. I see a bright future here. So goddamn bright that it blinds people to the point where they're yelling, "I can't see!" So they go whine about it.

Stinc This, Stinc That

^{It's all their fault, right?}

Well you know what role they play in my everyday life here as this crazy blogger who just so happens to be one of the thousands of successful acts here? Nothing! They sit behind their computers making their decisions, I sit behind mine making my decisions. We are not crossing paths. They screw up, I screw up; whatever! We're all moving forward, if we so choose to look in that direction.

And when I look back, I see accomplishments, because that's all there is.

That's all.

Have a nice day.
