I’m suspending this blog for an unspecified time.

Back in October I discovered blogging. That led me into the world of internet marketing. I wrote an ebook, which is making some money. I also discovered affiliate marketing.

I’m diving into PPC affiliate marketing. I’ll be running my first campaigns before the weekend.

Because of the potential payout, I want to put all of my discretionary time there as opposed to this blog.

Undoubtedly, I’ll be blogging about my PPC achievements at a later date. Right now, I have to be completely focused on what’s going to lead me to my true goal.

If you’ve been a reader, thanks! I’ve made a lot of friends through blogging. We’ll keep up via email.

Happy 4th!

Of course, I’m an American, and I just assume all of my readers care about the 4th.

I have readers in France,…

If you’ve been reading this blog, you know I stopped writing for about a month. Although originally due to a medical problem, this hiatus turned out to be one of the best things I could have done.

One of my readers has taken me slightly to task for a remark I made in a recent post about being merely a Christian, as opposed to an ultra-Christian. I’m a fast writer, and I rarely rewrite. (Not necessarily good, I know) I was only dimly aware that I had even made that distinction. So, when I read my reader’s comment, I wondered what in the world I had actually meant. Let me explain.

Chris Campa whose blog is The Oridinary Mystic (well worth reading!) commented on my last entry about the Virginia Tech shooting. Chris’ comments and his blog are always well thought through. So, instead of giving him a more cursory reply. I decided to reply to him in this post.

I really don’t like to listen to bad news unless I need to to know facts to keep myself and my family safe. If there’s a hurricane out in the Atlantic and I’m in a house on the coast, I want to know all the details–where it is, how strong it is, when is it going to make landfall.

I’ve tried not to listen to broadcasts about Cho Seung-Hui, the assassin at Virginia Tech. The story has gotten to me anyway. What strikes me about the media coverage is how they basically keep asking the question–how could this have been avoided? How can it be avoided in the future?

The answer is it couldn’t have been avoided, but so many lives did not have to be lost. Let me explain.

I got to tell you a story!

If you’ve looked at my bio, you’ll remember that I’m a high school teacher–math. This is a job I love, but that I’m outgrowing. Specifically, now it’s time for me to be an entrepreneur.

I’m stoked!

My most popular post, How To Turn Your Daughter Into A Whore In Two Easy Steps, was accepted in the Carnival of Education on The Education Wonks blog. I would like also to mention, Matt Johnston’s blog, Going to the Mat, where he’s pulled out a few of the entries that might interest his readers. Take a look at both these blogs! They’re well worth the time.

It’s going on right now! I’ve had the idea for this post for some time. Generally, I’ve got about fifteen posts partially done, and about ten more ideas for posts floating around in my head.

Figuring out what to say is not hard for me. Finding the time and especially the peace to write it in is the hard part.

…never do anything worthwhile either.

People who get things done know that failure is just part of the game of success.

Thomas Edison: “Genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration.”

So, why is our educational system based on teaching kids to avoid failure? It seems to me that we should be teaching them to embrace failure!
