Conflicted Carlos

So I discovered that I have an agreement with Bluehost and Wordpress for an entire year that I can't break. That means I paid for a website, hosting of it, and the URL, for a company that doesn't exist. *insert sarcastic remark here* Awesome! I do find it amusing that this is a post (blog) driven website much many other platforms have transformed into. I noticed that Blogger is the format - you can have pages (static) or posts (dynamic) or pages of posts (kinda a blend of both worlds)

Now I'm conflicted. 

Do I maintain two blogs simultaneously? Or do I maintain the free one (Blogger) that I've had forneverness in favor of the pre-paid? Or maintained the paid one knowing it'll be deactivated / deleted in a year's time? 

What would you do?

I'm gravitating to writing one post but copy the entry to both so I can maintain blog integrity. In the early days of web logs ('blogs or blogs for short), I would start with one company such as Live Journal, then jump into a different mid-year to Blog.com or Blogger.com only to settle on Wix.com then bounce to Wordpress.com. SHEESH! I almost threw my hands up and yelled, "FUCK IT! I'll go back to paper and pen."

Obviously, I didn't but the simplicity of paper was attractive. Until I concluded that the interactive nature of a blog post, and the audience it can have over just paper was too compelling. Stick with blogs. However, I'm human therefore a creature of habit. I guess the consistency is my onus. My albatross to bear. 

As I wrote, the conflict has been resolved and I'll maintain two blogs until this one disappears into the ether. 

Until my next post, keep digging,

Manic Monday, Terrible Tuesday, Wonderful Wednesday, Throwback Thursday, and Finally Friday

What a roller coaster week I have had! To start off the week was a manic Monday. After work on Monday , I did a WinCo run with WCP. Always entertaining. Tuesday was terrible. Started off by being tardy for work, so I treated myself to Tully's before posting up. And... in my experience, when you start off a day like that, any attempt to speed up or make up that half-step, half-tick, never happens. For inexplicable reason, you are now out-of-step with the Universe, and like fucking hell you're gonna make it back up. Never. Fails. I was late to meetings, I was late to a gym class I'm regularly early for, and the list goes on. In fact, I decided on that day instead of seeking out my dream girl of a svelte body, superior intelligence, endless energy, and with a litany of characteristics to make any fairy godmother proud I made the wide-sweeping declaration that I wanted this instead. A 2-ton, yoga pants wearing, 45 year old, bitter, divorcee that is one more named cat f

Let's Dance

The other week, I was driving to my 2 nd job at Malarky’s Sports Grill. Wednesday to be exact. I noticed a man standing at a bus sign waiting for a bus. I recognized the man right away. It was Kenny, The Dancing Wild Man of Factoria. It’d been a minute since I’ve seen him on the streets of Issaquah, I was growing concerned that something awful happened to him. I was thankful to find him once again, and within the same area I “met” him the first time… hilarious story. I remember distinctively. It was my first summer I spent in Issaquah. The sun was out, so relatively warm. I was bombing around in the Sapphire Sled [an arctic blue, 2004 Acura RSX Type S] with the windows down, the tunes up. I was stopped at the traffic light on the corner of Front Street and NW Gilman Blvd; the busiest intersection. From out-the-cuts, I heard someone screaming! I pull off my shades immediately. I whip my head around trying to seek out the source of the noise. I turn down the radio as I desper
