Overview
I created this Blog a decade ago, for a place to post my notes, my thoughts, some of my dreams, some of my frustrations. Sort of a Public Diary. I created my first web page about twenty five years ago and found that I liked telling a story, my story. Even acquired my own domain back around that time frame. I'm not a writer, just an average Joe. Except I've always enjoyed certain aspects of the Internet. IRC, mIRC and ICQ. Remember those? Yep, I dove right in. AOL had it's versions of communication. I learned HTML and created some pages. Then MySpace came along and I had to do that, then FB. Now, I friggn' hate FB, but it's a borderline necessity. I post most of my stuff nowadays on MeWe which is slooooooooowly catching on .. or not.
I created this back in January of 2009. Tried to use 'rickkcir' in the address but it was already taken. Probably should used a dash or a space .. but tossed in another k in the mix and moved on. I admit for a split second thought "maybe that's not a good idea" but then remember thinking... who cares .. who'd notice? I never expected this blog to grow and continue as it has.... since then, I've had a single douche bag point that lil fact out ..... gone so far to as to create memes with KKK crap... even attempted to get me fired for it. Believe that shit? I've considered changing it, but it'd break all the links throughout this blog and others... so ... I've chosen to leave it. Now, you know the back story ... but.. bet you never noticed until I mentioned it here? One other thing. That address that was used already .. I'm pretty sure that was from me back in 2005 screwing around but for the life of me .. can't figure out how to log back in?
Back to my story ....when I found "Blogger" I tested the water. Slowly, just comments here and there, a blurb on this and a blurb on that. I'm inconsistent. All over the map sometimes But, it's gives me a medium that works for me. Hell, you're reading it now.
So, this is my go to place. Open to the Public. 100%. No filters, no lists, no setting of permissions. What you see is what you get. Not a huge following but recently passed the 130,000 mark with 'hits'. Never my intention to get a lot of hits, comments, readers or followers ... but do find it interesting. Certain subjects caused major spikes in traffic. Over the last year or so I quit posting crap here for the most part that had to do with an event up north I used to attend. In the decade I've had this, I've deleted (but still have copies of them) only TWO comments that were derogatory in context with attacks bringing my family into it. My Blog . .. my choice to move off/delete, psychotic/racist comments put on it. Interestingly, they are from the same individual.
Lately, my secondary blog has gotten more of the traffic. That's where I try to keep most of the 'BS' nowadays. The subject of 'narcissism' intrigues me lately dealing with several whack jobs over the last few decades so sometimes posts on that subject show up. We've all got a 'dark' side and sometimes... that shows up there in memes, jokes and comments. Also, my 'pure honest' side shows up here sometimes, shooting from the hip. Lets just say .. shit is all over the map?
But .. in '22 I created yet another .. FTW blog ..... and post memes and crazy shit there, leaving the secondary blog as more of an archive.
........enjoy
