Hehhe…not to worry, its not something tragic, its worst - incurable…LOL…I need to check myself into drug rehab soon…OK, I was just kidding.
I have this bad habit of changing my mind as often as I change my underwear or as often as how some celebrity checks in and out of drug rehabilitation as if these places were hotels!
I simply can’t make up my mind. Like this morning for instance. I don’t know what I want to do for the day. Last night, I had the brilliant plan of getting an early head-start, go to the mall, get some grocery but I didn’t feel like it when I got up today. The mood just completely disappeared. Just vanished into thin air. Now, I feel sluggish, in mood-less mode. My mood ring is black.
Is this a woman thing or is it me? How can I cure this every changing and potentially damaging addiction? Is there somewhere I can get an addiction treatment? Is there even one? The only places I know are drug rehab centers but that is not relevant to my problem, now is it? Lets see now….what should I eat??? nyek…

What does Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama have in common?
Apparently, they are all checked into the same drug rehabilitation centre..LOL…just kidding. No, apparently, they are ALL related to each other in some way or another. Check this out, hot from the press :
Barack Obama is a distant cousin of Brad Pitt while Hilary Clinton is somehow albeit distantly, related to Angelina Jolie. And, we all know that Brad and Angie have a biological child together and are now reported to be expecting another. Opps…correction, expecting a set - of twins.
Talk about coincidence and news grabbing story. I mean, why is it that no one has told me that I am also related, distantly or otherwise, in some way to a super-star or a political figure? You tell me? *rolls eyes again*
Knock yourselves out, go take a peek at the article.

I find it kind of odd honestly speaking. People seriously monetizing their sites and who have had their blog’s PR stripped or demoted are still crying wolf. I can thoroughly understand but for some, who have no intentions of doing so i.e monetize their site, are also crying wolf. I don’t get it!
I just came back from blog hopping secretly and silently. Please, don’t we all?? Let me be the bozo who admits to this fact. Coming back to the issue on the blog hop and what I’ve discovered. This particular blogger who obviously monetized her site for some extra fun money writing stuffs like stair lift. Not one to need to pay the bills with. This person got slapped. Never fully recovered until recently when the realisation set in that salvaging PR was more important, she removed everything and canceled anything that resembled a paid item. She got it back. Not as what it was before but better than most of us. However, that is not the end. She has introduced the “no follow” rule on her blog. Meaning to say, guests who comments on her blog will not be obtaining any link juice. Fair enough, its her prerogative.
Don’t get me wrong, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this approach. Its just that, I’m just thinking that, this PR thing, is fairly important isn’t it? Even for those who are not monetizing their blogs? I mean, I thought that PR is only really important to those who intend to make some cash, never really thought about it being equally important to those who blog for the very reason of blogging and nothing more.
So maybe for the sake of argument, this PR thing is very relevant when you consider writing for SEO sake. A higher PR translate to more prominent position at the search engines and this in turn translates to traffic? Fair enough. As I’ve said earlier, people who blogs craves attention, we are stat addicts like it or not. Otherwise, blogs will all be much of a private forum. That make sense but just one thing though. If the subject matter of your blog is about something so mundane like a jar of peanuts, who would even google “a jar of peanuts”? There will probably be a couple of guys from the peanut club but will it be enough for you to be satisfied with the stat results? I doubt it. I seriously doubt it.
Blogging shouldn’t be inhibited by things like SEO, PR and whatever. It should be about you and what you want to say. I mean, blog preferences is so subjective really. Some blogs are a turn on and some just aren’t. It is a fact. No amount of PR is going to boost your blog traffic if what you write, bores people to death. Its a simplistic view of blogging. Then again, its my view and why shouldn’t it be what it already is or what it should be - simple? But the truth is, we crave for the challenge, the unreachable and seek the exclusive club. We want to be amongst the best, the popular, the most liked, the most envied. These are all human traits and doesn’t exclude the blogsphere now, does it? Apparently not.
