Yes, there has still been a recent absence with posts. Stuff got even crazier at the end of the semester, but at least it is over now. Although, I still have an incomplete I am working on finishing, but I digress. I started more of a personal blog site for me and anyone else that wants to read it. The name of the blog is You're Famous When You're Dead: Chronicles of a Somewhat Average Living Man.
My theory behind starting this is that I wanted to start some sort of a live memoir that I could share with people. For the most part, I figured I would tell it all. The good, the bad, and the unseen elements of my life. Instead of reading a book of a memoir that is finished, I thought it would be fun to read it as it develops. More or less from the writers true perspective. I guess all blogs in some way function like this, but I wanted to grasp some sort of strangle hold on my life occurrences and throw them on the screen in front of you. Then, maybe, someday it will actually turn into a book after the rigorous editing progress.
To explain the title of the blog I will just take a paragraph from my introduction entry:
The title "You're Famous When You're Dead" I choose, because every famous writer, for the most part, becomes famous when their dead. That is when you study them in academia and they are considered to have some sort of real substance. All writers face the challenge of making money on their work while they are alive, although, this will make me no real income. In time I hope to compile these entries, after tortuously editing, into a book. Consider this the raw meat to the uncooked patty.
Hopefully you check it out and like what you see. What I talk about will be what I am living. With that objective in mind, things could get interesting rather fast.
*Edit: To the "anonymous" commenter on this post, thank you! All the errors seem to be fixed. Somehow, me and everyone else that has seen it failed to notice, but not you.

Hey, John,
Yeah, it's a pretty cool blog. The new one I mean. The only scary part was the almost killing yourself part. It makes me want to be there to save you, so I can keep on living life and sharing a few moments with you now and then.
Talk to you soon,
-Ron
No offense, but your new blog title is grammatically incorrect.
