The Adventures of LitBoy: Bill Brent's Blog

All The World's Problems, Explained In One Simple Statement

Ah, suddenly I grasp the root of all contemporary problems.

Paraphrased from Thee Internet:

"books have been the greatest source of dissipation of knowledge known to mankind"

You see, it's all that drunken book-reading that has brought us to our knees.

[It's "dissemination," by the way (meaning distribution, dispersal) -- not "dissipation" ... which means, well, something else.]

Doggone.

Today I received a $15 bonus from a client I wrote pet clothing ad copy for several weeks back: "Incredibly well done, and hugely appreciated!"

As far as I'm concerned, that's the best review my writing has gotten to date this year.

TypePad to the rescue

One must dare to show what he wants. You have to go and ask for things rather than wait for them to happen.
   --Madonna

So, I asked for what I wanted, and thanks to an understanding staffer at TypePad, this blog will continue, since I was able to negotiate a discount I can live with.

Which leads me to the question: Okay, now what? We've done Hawaiian pictures on this blog. We've done funny links to YouTube and other such places. Lots of inspirational stuff too.

The funny thing is, much of my life is in flux right now, and I can't even talk about it here, cuz some parts of my life don't belong on this blog. I am definitely becoming more private as I move through life. I guess that living on an island in the middle of the Pacific can do that to someone.

However, I started a Facebook account recently, which strikes me as odd, since Facebook affords no privacy (and I hardly need the distraction). Furthermore, since we are all linked within seven degrees of separation, then in theory, everyone on Facebook will eventually come up for friend status. Which leads me to wonder: Why can't I just friend everyone in the Facebook universe, all at once? It would save so much time.

Oh, I guess it's like a big Easter egg hunt, then. It would be no fun if you left all the eggs out in plain view.

Anyway. Mostly I just wanted to respond to the queries I've gotten about this blog. I'll post something more bloggy when I'm feeling more bloggy.

Bye for Now

Hey there, readers --

Just a quick note to let you know that the Typepad version of this blog is probably going away soon, since my annual re-up is this week.

Now, while I have certainly enjoyed posting to this blog at times, assembling most of my posts here takes a great deal of work -- probably more formatting, uploading, and so forth than they appear to. Let's just say that Typepad out-of-the-box is not nearly as great in the design department as Bill Brent on-the-stick.

Plus, to be blunt, I'm not getting enough love or money to keep up this project, AND to pay Typepad for the privilege. (Although honestly, I do believe that they provide good value for the money.)

Furthermore, life has gotten busier for me lately with paying work. So now I need to stop being such a generous poor person, in order to focus more steadfastly on achieving my goals.

BOTTOM LINE, thirty months of paying Typepad is enough, already. I have written Typepad to ask what becomes of financially delinquent blogs, as mine is about to be, and I am sure I will get some kind of polite party-line response shortly. In any case, if you want to stay in touch, or know what I'm up to next, here are a couple of options for you:

Email Me Here

Otherwise, I'm on Facebook and Twitter nowadays -- to find me, just put my first name and my last name together into a single word, and there you go.

So thanks for reading, and if there is something you really enjoy about this blog, then by all means drop me a line and let me know what it is! Maybe we can put the best stuff together someplace else for free.
