Top Tips for a Successful Blog

1. Just STFU and write.
My recent writing addiction is new, and at one point in time I had about 12 blogs going. I took one piece of advise and consolidated (giving you this crown jewel that you’re reading now), but consolidating is just common sense. I have a dear friend who loves to help me [...]


So Bhutto was assassinated, why do I care?

A lot of you don’t care about politics and current events in the Middle East. Hell I didn’t.
