  • Shortening categories…

    I should shorten the list of categories to include only the “top” three: dreams, Uncategorized and poetry. The Uncategorized is mostly blogs, rants and opposite to that of poetry. The rest could be set as tags. I don’t think people actually re/search weblogs by visiting tag/categories. I noticed that the searches are done through words and/or online.

  • No side/bottom bar…

    Last night, I had to switch back to the Twenty-Eleven theme. Don’t ask me why I am not satisfied. I would like a hybridization of all the free themes here at WordPress.com (as suggested by John Jr in one of his comments here).

    I like a clean and simple appearance for my weblog. As a result, there are no widgets to be seen in either the sidebar or bottom bar! And there are only three menus: Posts, Pages and Archives. Therefore, there are only “internal” pages, which include the blog/post entries.

    I’m testing out this “feeling” without the bottom/sidebar and so far it’s one day of idle satisfaction. But for how long will this temporary satisfied feelling last? I’ll give it another day or so. If only there are MORE shortcodes for all the other widgets, then I’ll be good.

  • What I know now…

    that I’m wasting my time blogging and reading other blogs.

    #1. WHAT I THOUGHT ABOUT THE BLOG’S NAME: Flynn’s Blog evolved to “My Blogging Path”. I like using my pen name. My real nick name is Flynn.

    #2. WHAT I THOUGHT ABOUT AUDIENCE: The audience is supposed to be PG13. Those that know my real name would NEVER meet me in person.

    #3. WHAT I THOUGHT ABOUT TIME MANAGEMENT: I blog everyday because I’m un/deremployed and have no other outlet to avoid going insane.

    #4. WHAT I THOUGHT ABOUT RESPONDING TO COMMENTS: I’ve responded to some comments and failed to response to a “feedback” regarding the customized image headers. I really don’t like using emails or my real name or responding to comments, which reveal my email address.

    #5. WHAT KIND OF BLOGGER I THOUGHT I’D BE: I’m a mean and nasty person in real life. Why? Ask TPTB and pals. They too created a monster. And this blog reflects my sentiments and the mess they created on this hellish planet. I’m not going to rest in peace until they MAN UP!

  • Shark fin bill passes state Senate, awaits governor

    In recent news,

    Shark fin bill passes state Senate, awaits governor via @sfgate.

    “The governor will now decide whether California should ban the sale of shark fin soup, a Chinese delicacy that critics blame for imperiling increasingly rare species.”

    “Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco, said the bill would not save a single shark because there is no ban on taking the rest of the body other than the fin.”

    “Sen. Bob Huff, R-Diamond Bar (Los Angeles County), represents a district with a large Chinese American population and said the bill was a “cultural affront.””

    “The bill, AB376, passed 25-9.”

    This is good news. For the sharks were created as “guardians” of the sea.

    They are actually helping humans by preventing these mere monkeys from “going off into the deep ends of the seas”. I don’t understand why “land-loving” people need to hunt and eat food meant for sea creatures. Eating sea creatures is NOT Kosher. So why are humans still doing business this way?

    Sharks were designed to clean up the oceans by eating their “fair share” of the dead and dying sea life. Now if the Chinese eat only the fin of the shark, they are wasting the rest and thereby polluting the oceans with the dead and dying carcasses of shark. Tradition, like “business as usual” must stop.

    There won’t be any longevity either for those who “kill” and/or eat the “dead” forms. Get it?

    Honestly, I may be more progressive and liberal but not a registered Democrat. When it comes to the environment and preserving species, I expect businesses to comply with regulations. I expect other countries to respect other “lifeforms”, too.

    “Business as usual” has got to stop, especially if money and its money-changers are the source to all evil as greed in the hearts of ALL men and to the depletion of natural resources.

    Forget jobs. Forget people. I truly believe people ate dinosaurs and killed off their populations, too. (At 11:23pm, I saw a pin-head sized flash of light over the word “dinosaurs”. So that means I’m onto something important here).

    The bill, AB376, passed 25-9.

  • Using Twitter

    Okay. Since MOST of my thoughts should belong to microblogging, I’ve been “test running” my Twitter.com account. So if you happen to read my weblog at “full full” versus “moblie” version, you will see around 20 items listed as a sidebar widget.

    I really don’t know the difference with blogging, microblogging, asides, thoughts, etc. To me one is faster and shorter than the normal ones that can handle meaningful articles with the usage of “proper” grammar and spelling.

    Right now there are ways to view my blog entries: “blog” cagetories, “blog” page, “posts” page, “archives” page and sidebar widgets for tags, too. *You can also “subscribe” to my feeds or even feeds to http://thebloggingpath.com/category/blog/feed/.
