I Write When I Want To
We do not write because we want to; we write because we have to. W. Somerset Maugham Maugham obviously had never heard of blogs when he made the above quote. I haven’t made a post here at MDV since August 2nd. I’ve had plenty to write about, but just haven’t felt like it. And guess what, I’m fine with that. It’s my blog. I write when I want to. (...)

Enjoying the Weather Among Other Things
I’ve been enjoying the weather for the past several weeks which means spending less and less time on the computer. That also means less time for blogging and less updates here as well as my other blogs. I’ve also cut back on my poker playing dramatically which takes away computer time as well. This is all a good thing. (...)

Ahhhh
Where to start? It’s been nearly a month since the last post here at MtDewVirus. That has to be a record since the blog started over two years ago.

A 2nd Job
I’ve been spending a lot of time lately with blogs. In the last few weeks, I’ve launched two new sites, NICKED Up and Primary Rough. This has taken up a lot of my free time and will continue to do so. I have another site or two on the way. As I launch more sites some of the types of posts usually found here will be on the other sites. (...)
Blogs Are Here to Stay
The big buzz around the blogosphere is AOL buying Weblogs, Inc. which reinforces the fact that blogs are here to stay. (...)

Behind the Words
A lot of times when I post something it feels as if I’m just typing words, but not saying a whole lot. This has been my biggest problem with updating blogs recently. (...)
