Blogging relationships, like most other relationships, require an investment of yourself, of your time and effort and even after developing a relationship it is something you have to nurture.

After going on a semi-hiatus for 6 months I return to my blog and previous “friends” to find that a lot of the relationships I had developed are now a thing of the past.

For a non-politics blog I’d imagine it’s quite different, and would involve the less controversial subject of dinero.

Heat

I do not have the time, but somehow I manage to make it. From the person who wrote about managing time I am fairly poor at it. Not with my blogs, and my personal life. Then what you ask? Sleep. I have created a monster here, my only time to catch up is on the weekend which often times I fail at anyway.

Yeah, rejection is easy. Go into a club; trial and error. Eventually if you set your sights low enough your bound to score. Just kidding. I have no emotion when it comes to been rejected and abused on the web, it’s not the most crushing form of rejection.

Be annoyed? Hell I would like to find someone with the ability to annoy me. I think I have a better chance of annoying a blind mute than anyone annoying me. But if I were to be annoyed, it wouldn’t be hard to deal with. Drink socially, or until you are friendly enough to stomach even the most disgustingly unlikable people.

My motives? Retirement by the time I’m 25. If I can mooch a grand a year off every “pro blogger” out there for the next 4 years, I might be able to do that. Once again, sarcasm. My motives are sound. I am not looking for a great buddy, initially; I look at building relationships with others as an opportunity to both learn and teach. Everyone no matter how long they have been doing it has something they can bring to the table, and has things they still need to learn.

I am an aggressive pacifist. What does that make me you ask? Neutral for the most part. I am aggressive with my goals, and desires but passive in the ways I go about achieving them. All of these things I do aggressively and passive at the same time; I know it doesn’t make one iota of sense, but then again, for the most part nor do I.

Being new to Blogging but not new to Website Publishing ( 6 years in the trenches) I feel there is too much upbeat, positive, marshmellow type talk around Blogging – this site being the exception and it leads me to believe that too many people have an unreal expectation of how hard things probably are. Having built websites that get 20,000 people a day and earning enough to give up my day job I know that it is really hard, and I figure a blog is just as hard, after all, a blog is a website, albeit with a few new rules – to be broken.

Anyway, I could ramble on but I wont. But cool Blog Problogger, I look forward to more of your insights.
