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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
