Dreams of a better whatever.
Welcome back! Have you joined my mailing list yet?
I'm sitting in Corpus Christi in the "business center" of a motel using their free internet connection. There's a 30 minute limit (which I have completely and utterly ignored), and I am doing nothing but reading blogs and thinking about blogging.
Obsessed? Perhaps.
My dream job (other than owning my own company hot-shot driving, playing in a rock band, or running network security audits) is to be a full-time blogger. I see so many people on the net spilling their guts at random and making a killing doing so, while people like myself work 50-60 hours per week, breaking our backs to pay the bills, and hoping for an hour at the end of the day (after the house is cleaned and the kids are tucked in) to have a much-deserved cup of coffee and to post meager lines of text describing those things that are tucked away in our minds, such as how much our jobs suck or what we wish we were doing.
I'm not a professional anything, really. I drive trucks. I bring groceries to your convenience stores, unload them from the trucks, and wheel them into the stores. I don't feel that there is much (if anything) blog-worthy about that.
Or is there?
As I type this, I think "You know, I wonder how many trucking blogs there are out there..."
A quick Google Blog search yeilds "Results 1 - 10 of about 106,860 for truck driving."
Wow...there are a few. Perhaps I should start one as well. I keep having these big hopes and dreams about running a blog network (like b5 media, etc.) but just don't have the time to dedicate to such things.
There has to be some way to break into this market. Heck, I just want to earn enough with AdSense to pay for some real hosting for my themes blog.
Sometimes these things feel so out of reach. Why do I get so down about it?
It's only the medium of the new generation.
Ah well, all things in time. I should keep my head up, and so should any just-for-fun bloggers with big dreams. They can come true.
But what do I know, I'm just a trucker :)

I Fixed the Glitch…
TSP: Themes! is running again. I just had to pop the hood and delete the link to my Amazon store via phpMyAdmin (which I had to fumble through, because I don't really know that much about mySQL...and I couldn't get to the login page due to being redirected).
It seems that you cannot use certain text strings on runhosting, even if you are within the terms of service guidelines...and they won't give you a list of text strings that are not allowed "for security reasons". Nice.
So now I need to get more theme stuff for that site. Submissions, anyone?

Web Woes
It seems my themes site is also being redirected, much like the original version of TSP. Free hosting seems to be more trouble than it is worth.
The problem is that I don't have the spare cash to get some decent hosting.
I don't want to have to put up a donations link somewhere, so I suppose I should just figure out how to get enough cash to 1) get a real domain name and 2) get some real hosting.
I've used nothing but free hosting (for myself) in the past, and I'd like to move past that (because, darn it, I want to make money blogging).
If anyone has any suggestions of a way to get some serious hosting for free (not cheap, that requires money) please let me know.
Argh!
