The Struggling Blogger

Last Sunday, while cleaning and arranging things in our house I turn my radio on. Since we just moved in to a new house and things were (or still are) a mess, the TV external antenna isn’t set up yet. The only items that were put in place were, the bed, dresses, tables, and this computer so I can blog and surf the net (lol). So I have to rely on my old radio for a musical background while working.

We see a mother giving her son a dozen donuts in a box, and told him to share it to his playmates. The boy then counted all his friends who are busy looking for a place to hide as they were playing hide-and-seek with the boy being the it. As they show his playmates one by one, hearing the boy’s voice on the background… coincidentally, there were twelve of them, including the boy!

Quickly he called all his playmates from hiding and announced that he has donuts to share. When they approached him, the camera showed all eleven donuts gone and just one remaining which was divided into 12 pieces. It seems the boy have consumed all eleven pieces and have left just one piece to share with his friends. Cute… or is it? I say it is an obvious display of greed and selfishness.

Yet again, this blog has been disapproved as an affiliate by one of those who paid bloggers for blogging about their advertisers. Too much struggles… being true to its name. Oh well, I can always try again… and look somewhere else.

But I’m blogging about it cause some reasons for rejection are quite puzzling to me.

1. Blog is too new and has poor stats, including little traffic and/or links.
I guess, three months is relatively new as far as blogging is concern. Too little traffic and links… too techie for me… got to work on that traffice though.

These last few weeks I have been active in my blogging. In fact, I think I have blogged like crazy. Trying to maintain five different blogs with different theme for each, actively. Consciously making an effort that not one of these blogs will be left behind. I guess I have even surpassed my projected 5 posts per week.

What I have done may not be that much for more active bloggers, but as far as I’m concern, this is way over my personal expectations. All these because all this time I have been unemployed. Yes! All the while I’ve been without a compensation. As to how we have managed or survived all these times is nothing but miracles. It’s not because I don’t want to work or anything. In fact there were number of times I attempted to get employed, but I was unfortunate that I don’t get hired. Hence the name, The Struggling Blogger.

I can’t even say if this is an original or I just heard it from somewhere… I can’t remember. But I think we all know what this means. An addiction to blogging. I don’t know which is more intense, obsession or addiction… or they could be just play of words and could actually mean the same.

Blogus addictus, trying to sound scientific, can either be a noun, a verb, an adjective or an adverb. It tells a state, an action, or a condition of a blogger wherein even before finishing his current post is already thinking of his next post.

Much more than just creating numerous posts, but the act of posting itself that drives a blogus addictus. And whenever he is not in front of his computer typing, he is either scribbling on a notebook or a piece of paper… or he maybe just seated in a corner, silently playing in his mind the words that he will write on his project.

Just like an itch… it won’t subside unless it got itched.

Is it curable? Definitely, it is!

But does a person with blogus addictus wants to be cured?
