I have been on a self-imposed hiatus of sorts. Some inner conflict that I needed to work through. In addition, I decided to reassess the direction of my BLOG posts. I started making my writings about and worrying about my popularity. How many views I was, or I should say, wasn’t getting, that’s what consumed me. I had forgotten why I started doing my writing in the first place… me. Writing makes me feel good when I am doing it for myself. That’s what I need to get back to. I also planned for it to be a time capsule of sorts to reflect my true personality. It is something that future generations could look back on to glimpse how I lived if they so chose. Not that I have a special take on life. Let’s face it, I only garner the attention I do, because of my rare condition. Most of you would never have followed my journey otherwise. It doesn’t matter anyway as I have chosen to write about what makes me happy. To truly reveal the cranky, “Get off my lawn” attitude that many know me for. I’ll let you in on a little secret though; I have softened around the edges somewhat. Don’t get me wrong, I am still the gun-totin’, God lovin’, conservative I’ve pretty much always been. (There were a few times I allowed the media propaganda to sway my vote, and I’m ashamed to say I never voted for Reagan.) I know it’s a cliche to say, but I believe society is on the decline, and I long for the good ole days. No politically correct, common core bull that has everyone walking around on eggshells. I attribute my desire to grow closer to God, as a realization that I soon will be returning to the dust, despite my desire otherwise. I have decided to give my problems up to God. My constant pain and my complaints to my wife are about nothing compared to what Jesus endured on our behalf. Right now I realize that eyes are rolling if you even stuck around past my “coming out” as a conservative. My BLOG will continue, if only as my journal. By the way, I no longer will be posting on Facebook as I am admittedly a little butt hurt over the censoring of my posts in The Sullied Sinner. A closed group that is screened and asked if posts about God would offend them. I don’t understand Facebook’s need to control free speech. So despite my wife’s objections, I’ll no longer be their revenue-generating pawn. Bedhead Bob News Daily was created by Jonell on my behalf and I imagine she will continue to post there. However, if you wish to interact with me directly, you will need to do so through the BLOG or text if you have my number. For over 10 years I have been on Facebook, and, sadly, it had to end like this. In the end, I’m back to writing, but what I write and say will probably piss a lot of you off. But that’s alright because I will reveal a person that is closer to the person I am. Stubborn, opinionated (and someone who tries hard to draw closer to God. I most often fall short because I realize I’m not perfect, nor will I ever be. I’m just another crotchety old man, and if you don’t like what you see and read, perhaps it’s time you get off my lawn!
