Unemployed: Dazed and Confused

by kelby2012 on November 3, 2009

ConfusedThe time has come to knock some dust off this blog. I started this blog initially because I needed to vent. The first few weeks were fantastic, I had plenty of material in my head that needed to be written. I used my unemployable technical skills to get the blog up and running. I wrote cool articles with cool pics. I studied SEO, traffic generation, social bookmarking, back linking and Black/White Hat techniques. I was ready to kick some ass and chew some gum and I was all out of gum. Then the unthinkable occurred, I lost my motivation and drive. The ideas were still percolating in my brain, however I couldn’t seem to get over the initial hump of opening this web browser and starting a post. My mind was trapped in a mental fog which felt like a painless, odorless gas that dulls your senses and saps your energy levels. I was still very angry and needed to vent, however I did not have the need to blog. Hours turned into days, days turned into weeks, as I was trapped in my state of “just being”. Writing just didn’t seem as therapeutic as it once did. This blog was going nowhere fast because Big G kinda frowns on static websites. This blog was fast becoming just a WOFT.

Then something totally unexpected happened — as I skipped across a golden field of corn, a unicorn holding a shiny new Mac Book Pro appeared to me and told me that I needed to get my head back in the game. He stressed that I need to write content for my blog and stop sitting around in a daze. Actually, the truth is that my motivation game back to me out of the blue. I don’t know what caused it, but I am glad that it happened. I think this has the makings of being an excellent blog someday. Moving forward, I pledge that I will make it a priority to add new content to this blog on a daily basis, as if this is a real paying job.
