I’m Back!

First off, I wish to apologize to Kevin and Angelica for not choosing to moderate my blog. I have been told that by not doing so, I am making it more difficult to stop a troll. I feel, however, that if I allow a troll to control how I blog, I have given that troll partial control over my life. Our country has done much the same thing, giving control of our liberties to terrorists by enacting laws that limit our rights in reaction to 9/11. I refuse to be part of either.

I spent the end of October and much of November with a bunch of young people at “Occupy Clarksville”. It was an experience. I found, however, that it drained me both mentally and physically. I like to think that I am still “young” but must admit that those days are over. I will continue to support their endeavor, but do so with less physical involvement.

A lot has happened on FriendBurst these last several weeks. I see there are a lot of new people and a lot of old people, friends and adversaries, are gone. 2011 has been quite a year for FriendBurst. Hopefully 2012 will see it continue to grow and get even better. We members are FriendBurst. Kevin and his admin staff merely give us the tools we need to grow. We need to continue to support FriendBurst through whatever means we have available.

I have a lot of great friends here. Each of you know who you are. During my absence, I missed you, even though some of you are on other places with me. I love to blog and this is my favorite platform for blogging. I blog politics mostly, but have a bunch of music blogs and my hero blogs. I will be doing another “Hero” blog in the next few days.

    Kevin spent a year creating the best Social Network interface available on the internet. Next year he plans on getting more people in here. Goddess knows how many that will take to find some who will enjoy reading my Blogs… 🙄

    That troll did a bit more than a few TOS violations. Law Enforcement is already looking into it… 😈

    And thank you for Sharing some of the stuff I pass along over at Google+. I’m really happy about Bolivia right now. Imagine having a country run by people who are sane! Everybody deserves that. :love:

    I didn’t get the 411 on this “troll” but I am thinking you may be referring to the person who just commented on my old blog with the videos of the kittens.
    I really like your contributions on Google+, John….maybe you could post those same things in here and get this place alive again.
    You always have something interesting to post.

    I know what you mean about how when we get older, those physical things don’t come to us nearly as easy.
