Having insomnia makes you feel tired. Because, obviously, you don’t get enough sleep. It wears you out.
Yesterday I felt awfully tired, because I don’t sleep enough this past year. If you’re tired enough, you think you will get to sleep very easily because your body is telling you so. Yesterday I also had the feeling I would get to sleep very fast because I was so wached out.
But again I was mistaken. You can be as tired as you want to be, still you won’t sleep any better if you are an insomniac.
And with me it is purely insomnia I think as I can’t put my finger on what else could bring me stress.
I have always wanted to sexify my blog posts. I have found this widget that is really free and it garantees much blog traffic or revenue.
I really wonder why nobody else has ever come up with this idea to promote all subscribed blog posts’ headlines in a single widget. This is a pimp that will get really rich in amount of subscribers. By means of this one sexy widget you are leaded to all subscribed blog posts’ headlines in your own category (mine is Personal: Personal Diary)
This is a great way to provide your blog with very much exposure to all blogs in the blogosphere. I like this so much. I saw it on a popular site totally off the topic, it was something about politics in the USA. I immediately felt I needed to subscribe to it. There is way much controversy on the blogrush widget. Some think it is spam because they are usually ignored to be part of it. I was so happy to get a mail that my blog was aprouved! There are guidlines you need to follow, but there aren’t many.
Blogrush works by putting the widget on your blog, and everyone who sees that can click on the blogrush label beneath it and then you will get to register and when he puts the widget on his blog, you automaticly get exposure on that blog as well. And this works for ten generations of readers. They can be one time readers or they can be recurring readers. Imagine all the exposure you are able to gather from all the blog readers, and as a bonus there are no limitations in the amount of exposure you will be able to get.
So I urge you to register and place this widget on one of your sidebars, becauser people who have a blog usually want to be read by a lot of people. A note, a blog most be written in English, or at least the category you subscribe to it must be.
BlogRush is a “Cooperative Syndication Network.” It’s a network of blogs that run a small “widget” on their pages. Each time this widget is loaded it will contain 5 clickable headlines which are the blog post titles to other users’ posts. Clicking on any of these links will open a new browser window and load the blog and full post. Users earn “syndication credits” based on each time their blog loads the widget as well as each time any of their referrals (users that signup after clicking the “add your blog posts” link on the widget) loads the widget. They also earn additional credit based on all the activity through 10 generations of referrals. 1 Syndication Credit = having one of their recent blog post titles served inside the widget on another member’s blog.
My home is were I sleep. My home is were my bed is. Mine and Falco’s.
I am rather disappointed with some old friends, I mean that they supposed to be my friends but as they don’t show any sign of life, I don’t call them friends. In the early stage when I moved here everybody was so curious about how I lived my life. Once they saw it, they didn’t feel the need to come and visit me again. And that goes for a lot of people.
This being said, I am going to be very careful of who I take on as a friend in the future. Lots of people manage to see me as a role model, as does the place where I live and so one. I want no more of that.
In the middle of July I got a very upsetting text message from my mum. She told me my brother was alone on a scoutcamp and he had fallen in some cave by surprise. By the way, it was 6 meters deep. An other by the way, he had fallen on his back.
This contained the whole first screen of my text message. Quite upsetting…
Once I arrived to the second screen, the message pointed out to me that all he had were some bumps and that he was alright.
Imagine… just imagine… what could have happened…
My mum kept talking about that, but I don’t think it is of any use to keep on thinking about it. Especially not if he was allright.
If anyone should be phylosophysing about his life, it should be my brother. But of course it is up to him to decide if he should be thinking about it or not.
He probably thinks the songs on the CD’s that I have glued to my bedroom ceiling are about him. No, I am not talking about a transsexual, but again I am referring to my beast Falco (and I am belle).
At first I was thinking he was mirroring himself in my CD’s as they are glued with the written side to the ceiling so that the grey glittering and mirroring side is downwards so everyone can look at themselves through the mirroring CD’s. It is not a mirror for sure, but you can look a bit at yourself.
Maybe he was seeing a spider, but I couldn’t detect one, so I guess that wasn’t was he was doing.
He is making a habit of accompagning me in every room I go To. Even in the bathroom. So when I sit on the toilet, he is just by me sitting on my shelf, where three sights of the wall have a mirror on them. He is always looking in the mirror, once I even caught him staring at himself. I guess he is looking to make sure he is the only one who gets my attention.
He even recognizes himself, as not many animals do. When you are making a move, he knows it and he sees it in the mirror, then he turns around to look at it for real.
A blog is a pimp in the blogosphere. Several links are like my whores. I am a pimp of a kind.

It’s a cool linking blogsphere!
If I didn’t need any help, I wouldn’t hesitate to tell everyone to butt off. But I do need help. And I do hesitate. Meaning, I can’t tell everyone to butt off. It seems very odd to me that people who have to have supposedly been properly educated do have a carreer with sudge a responsability, they actually don’t show any sign of any kind of responsability towards the people their service is meant for.
You better not label me! Because I don’t talk about ‘us’, don’t further explanation needed. They are the ones that could be labelled: all those desk officers. No really, they should care but they don’t, because they don’t have any responsability for what they organise.
And respect, let’s talk about that for a moment. If I could be the one to respect her job at the office, where the hell is her respect towards my needs? Vanished? Gone up in smoke? It’s frustrates me to be labelled as the less important amongst all. I really don’t believe these people are doing me justice.
And when we talk about Belgium, a little piece of ground in Europe, they pretend on every add to be sudge a prosperous country, in fact Belgium is just in development when it comes to prosparity. And again, I am labelling because in Belgium there live Belgians. I am very happy to be half Scottish because I am not proud at all of being a Belgian.
I have to think for a while how I will be dealing with it, I might try to find another solution that is more steady for me. And then I will proudly email her that I no longer want to enjoy her services.
One member has got to leave to make more space for the others. It is in my own disadvantage that I will have to leave them. But it is just a matter of how you look at it.
My pussy is very pigheaded and lives it’s life by it’s own rules. By pussy I am referring to my black and furry panther, my lovely little tomcat. On the sideline, my little tomcat weighs about 7 kgs. The Maine Coon’s nicknames are: the giant cat and the singing cat. Both are true because he is enormous and with every move he’s singing or talking.
My weird cat likes everything a normal cat wouldn’t like, such as: chicory soup (that’s his favorite), peanut butter, m&m’s with peanuts in it, grilled peanuts with salt, salt chips, rasped carrots, homemade biscuits and vegetable quiche and other strange things as well.
A few weeks ago my neighbour pointed out to me that he thought my cat was rather thin. He is on a diet because he is getting trained by me and my dog trainer Geert De Bolster. He is not really on a diet, he gets enough food but only twice a day because when he gets trained, he gets some lovely little snacks when he gets it right. The day after I decided I was going to pamper my cat by surving him some fresh minced meat, and mind you, I actually fried it as well. My panther saw his bowl minced meat and he greatfully turned his nose in the other direction. It took him almost two days to have a little taste of it. He didn’t like it. So I decided to give his fine taste some satisfaction by serving him some canned tuna from a rather more expensiving supermarket. He liked it very much. This week I bought him some canned tuna from a cheaper supermarket, and mister chef doesn’t like it as much.
Does this mean I have to buy my cat some canned Caviar now? He is a very spoiled cat, as he’s got his own Category as well.
Tell me, I dare you, what exactly do you find the hardest thing about blogging?
Is it the lack of inspiration? Is it posting different posts under regular (e.g. daily, weekly, monthly, hourly) basis? Many bloggers have got it wrong there. I’d say an excuse like bloggers’ block is a kind of similar excuse to telling the world you suffer from talkers’ block.
Blogging is not as similar to writing as many of you might think. Blogging and writing do contain similar things. But blogging is far much wider than just writing. Blogging is always about marketing yourself and about marketing your writing. Every blogger cares about recuring readers as a means of getting themselves recognized. Why else would you ever start a blog?
People are able to talk all day long, babbling really. In terms of blogging, babbling could be renamed as freewriting. So if you don’t know what to blog about, we can freewrite away about whatever our bodies are sensing, tasting, seeing, thinking and so on. Freewriting is not useless or meaningless, it can provide you with even better posts.
There might be an interesting way to advertise your blog (and your site). I find it quite interesting, and I don’t think there are any hidden agreements with the script.
You should take a look at or register directly at MyBlogLog. There you can create an account with your Yahoo ID, and if you don’t have one yet you can just register very easily at Yahoo. In your account you publish all your personal details you want to share with other bloggers (you don’t have to share anything but it’s just a possibility, so your privacy is very well protected).
There are two advantages to registering at MyBlogLog. The first advantage is that you can create a personalized widget script which you can inbed in your site’s body. That widget script enables you to see who your readers are, what their blogs are, on which posts they clicked on and their profile photo. So it is like the early widget script you had (who is online, etc).
The second advantage is that a lot of blogs have MyBlogLog avatars or profile photos enabled in the comment’s section. This will allow you to comment on other blogs, and you will have autimatically your MyBlogLog avatar published on that site.
Of course it enables you to publish your own blog with your avatar, so readers of blogs who have the MyBLogLog script enabled, will show you who their readers are, per reader they will advertise which blogs they have.
It is a way to be part of the international blogosphere, and basically it connects bloggers with one another. So I think it is a quite useful tool to beginning bloggers and even to more experienced ones. I think it is a sort of free version of blogads.
