Forgiveness II

As the Web Burns, Family, I Hate People, internet, Life, Nostalgia, On My Mind Comments Off

Carrying on from yesterday, forgiveness.

When I said forgiveness is for you, so you may heal, it is somewhat healing for the person you are forgiving as well. Take it or leave it, they can choose to think they “got away with it” or “walked all over a vulnerable person” or they can “do what they want because others will forgive them for it!” People like that exist. There will be a small percentage of people you forgive for wrong doings who will feel they can come back and do more wrong to you or try to do wrong to you, and that it will be fine because after all, you are a good person, a forgiving person, and you will forgive them again. I feel that you shouldn’t put yourself in a place where others feel they can walk all over you. Forgiving someone isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of restraint, a sign of strength, mercy and love.

Many of the people whom you forgive will be grateful that you forgive them. Most people don’t enjoy knowing they hurt someone who is innocent. Humans are humans, despite what they do, and humans have emotions. Sometimes anger and rage over come their other emotions, but when anger and rage can be felt, so can compassion and love. They may or may not know the real reason you are forgiving them is because you want to feel better. Yes, there are going to be people who won’t accept your forgiveness because they think you’ll have to obsess over what they have done or what you have done.

It’s a shame this small population gets so much notice. Trust me when I say these people are a very small part of the population, and that makes the rest of us wondering whether or not we want to mingle with others. Don’t let those that keep you down or assume that you owe them more than forgiveness, get to you. Forgiveness is a gift that you don’t deserve, and when you receive it, you should feel grateful.

People change. Situations aren’t just for the worst or forever. You won’t feel bad forever.

Come Again?

As the Web Burns, I Hate People, internet, On My Mind Comments Off

I was going through my mail today (woo hoo! I’m home now!) and I came across a couple of people who didn’t want my advert on their sites. So I checked into it. Why not? I’m witty, I’m funny, I’m caring. It’s because I’m fat huh? No, that wasn’t it. It’s because I used a wooden outhouse last night, huh? No, not that either. As many excuses I tried to think up, I couldn’t figure out why anyone would deny my advert on their site. I went back to the email and found the reason: “You support Jeffree Star. Supporters of Jeffree Star are Hell bound.”

What?

I bought one song from iTunes and then because I liked it. I’d never seen Jeffree Star before this afternoon when I googled a picture of him. The song I bought wasn’t filthy, it wasn’t nasty, it wasn’t even explicit. But looking at Jeffree Star’s picture, I was taken back that a drag queen. He doesn’t sound like one. At least not in his songs.

This Time of Year

As the Web Burns, Family, Holidays, I Hate People, internet, Life, Nostalgia, On My Mind Comments Off

I’m getting things done today! Not really though. I’ve been up an hour and I tried to work on getting another .nu in order, but the server went down. It must be International Server Down Day somewhere. I almost got jaded, while I was looking through some archives from 2000. I was so giddy and hopeful back then. The world, and the internet, were a great place. It’s getting close to the anniversary of the insane man who was ripping me off, and I think he’s been requesting my old Blogger stuff because every now and then I get Blogger requests for my username and URL. WTF? No, just no. There’s another anniversary coming up, too.

Seven years ago, two totally different people wanted both my sites when I said I was closing them down. Huh? To be honest, I said I was closing the sites, but they said they wanted my domain names, if I wasn’t going to use them. When I asked where to send the billing info, they both said I should keep paying for them. Huh?xs. One was an 11 year old girl and another was a 27 year old woman. Looking back, I could see that an 11 year old wouldn’t know anything about domains and things of that nature, but someone who is (now) my age? That’s a different story. When I re-opened this site in 2004, she went postal, claiming I “hijacked her domain name”. A year later, she came back with another site, making remarks that I had stolen her domain name again. She changed her story a little bit. This time she was an only child, when on her other page, she had “baby brothers”. People are strange.

These days, I pretty much ignore people like that. I had a couple of people contact me this year asking if I was ever going to use this site. Um, yeah, I am. Just because I don’t update it every day (then) doesn’t mean I don’t want it. Geepers. =D

I’m also not gonna do that whole “2000 EntreCard” thing. I might put up cards on my other blogs, but it’s just too time consuming.

I think I’ll go back to filling out Christmas cards. Ack! It isn’t even 9am yet!

He Was On To Something

As the Web Burns, I Hate People, internet, On My Mind, Site Issues 1 Comment

In light of the whole Monkey was a fake on Entrecard, I wondered how he got so many credits on his account when the limit is 300. That’s when I learned a little secret of Entrecard. You can have more than one blog on there, and you can transfer your credits to a blog that you want to be “popular”. Maybe this is something everyone’s known since forever, but I didn’t know it. I’m always behind on these things.

This gave me an idea. I was going to do what he did.

Get credits with multiple blogs on Entrecard, that is. Not steal someone else’s content. =p

I tried it, and I had to put four other blogs on my account, not including my main one. So I had five blogs on there. That meant I could get about 1500 credits per day just from dropping cards. I made 1654 today alone. That’s with the transfer fees and such. As I write this, there are more and more credits coming in.

I can easily see how this became an obsession for Monkey. I can see why he did it. With credits come the ability to “purchase” “ad space” on other blogs. Overnight, the traffic here has jumped another 100 hits. In the meantime, all those links out, links in, and hits makes Page Rank go up. I read a site with a PR of 4 or greater can eventually have an ad that runs about $70 per day.

There is a huge downfall to this. I had to stretch my “blogs” to get enough for just 1500 credits in drops per day. I put up both my main blogs, my journal, my test blog, and a blog I hadn’t updated since 2006. I was contemplating adding my school blog, but why? 2000 credits per day seems good. But there’s the downfall of having to actually visit 2000 sites and drop 2000 cards per day. Entrecard wanted to limit the number of card drops to 600 per day, per IP and Monkey complained about that. I guess because it meant that his plan would fall apart. However, with these visits and droppings, comes the task of having 2-4 hours to sit down and actually visit these sites, do the drops, and then collect the credits at the end of the day. I feel if someone spends more than thirty minutes a day on their blog, making layouts and tweaking blogware not included, they need another hobby. Or perhaps a job.

With my high speed internet and super-fast Intel MacBook Pro, it still took me over three hours to get those credits. Monkey must have had a lot of time on his hands to sit and drop all those cards. No wonder he had to steal blog entries. There was virtually no time to actually sit down and write blog entries that were original or creative.

I admit, 2000 Entrecard credits is tempting, and I have a little over a month to collect on these. But I won’t be greedy. Yet. =)
