OKAY, So you know my story. Like I said I will definitely fill in the blanks with my stories. I just wanted you to understand that my stories come from a Crazy life full of experiences. As you also know from Intro4, I am looking for my own piece of the pie and due to my handicap I have turned to trying to make my own way and not depend on the employment of others. So these blogs are, I admit, in that effort. I am trying to learn how to generate income through my writing. I am a novice at all this computer stuff, but I feel like I am intelligent enough to pull it off. And I am going to take you with me every step of the way. Cool, huh?

So this post is not a story, but some interesting things I have picked up in my quest to making it on my own. Check this out!

We all do things for different reasons, and that is also true with blogging. Some bloggers just want to share individual experiences to love ones, talk about what interests them, and in many cases to make money. There are many successful bloggers who earn hundreds, or even thousands of dollars in a very short time especially when done appropriately.

Today’s blogging scene offers monetization options that many do not know about. You can find direct advertising options as well as affiliate offers. There are endless possibilities of earning money through blogging. However, without TRAFFIC, these options will definitely not work. If your blog site doesn’t have enough traffic, you will not earn any money.

Whenever I find out how to get TRAFFIC, I’ll let you know. Obviously, I haven’t got much yet myself. BUT there is plenty more information you can find in this Special FREE REPORT. This post was actually an exerpt from the FREE report, (I LOVE FREE) “Blogging for Dollars” So Check it out NOW! I’ll let you know how it’s working for me. Please feel free to follow up with me with your feedback.

Sorry, its been a few days since my last post. I have just found out that you can actually make money by blooging. Wouldn’t that be convenient. I have been doing a little research, but to be honest with you I’m kinda scared to spend any money. I know they say it takes money to make money but I am fearful of being scammed. So if anyone else wants to try or recommend this product before I shell out feel free. I am in the process of completing this one and it is pretty informative. When I finish I’ll let you know how it is working for me, but I must say it has gotten me this far, which is far more than expected for a CPU novice like myself. So….back to my life.

So May 5,1992…..BOOT CAMP!  That was where I last left off. I joined the Navy and started boot camp on that day. Good stories from there I assure you. After a couple of months of becoming a man, I was shipped to my A-School in Virginia Beach, VA. After 3 months of A-school and partying…HIP-HIP off to my ship. I actually met my ship after a 3 week stay in Sigonella, Cicily, I was helicoptered right on to the ship. How Cool! I toured the Mediterranean for a few months before returning to Norfolk, Va. I actually got to visit some pretty cool places. Italy, France, Israel, Greece, and Spain. I’ll tell ya all about that later. Then due to a 3 month bout with Pneumonia I was released from the Navy in Aug. of 1994. I stayed in Norfolk for a couple of years after that. You see, I had reverted to my old ways. Not only was I still living the STREET lifestyle, I had now started a gang. We were up to about 35 people deep, and were well respected all over the area. I had some crazy people that I always surrounded myself with. But once again things got out of control. Time to jet.

After some close calls and a couple of broken noses I decided I was done with that life. I moved back to Texas. I spent a few months in Waco, Tx. Then I finally made it home to El Paso. My parents had FINALLY gotten a divorce (Dad in Waco—Mom in El Paso)Mom was sick and needed an operation and I wanted to be close by. So, I bartended in El Paso for about a year and a half at about every type of bar imaginable (Strip clubs, bowling centers, bars in Mexico (where I lived for 3 months), and a Casino.). Then I got hit with Criminal Identity Theft.

Apparently at one time or another my wallet had been stolen, and someone ended up using my ID in the commission of Multiple Felonies. I ended up losing my job due to a Criminal Background Check. It was a good job, too. I was managing 3 bars for a Casino on an Indian Reservation right outside of El Paso. I was making great money because above my salary I also bartended a cople of nights a week and made great tips. Alas, I was let go. They said I could re-apply after 6 months if I ever got this situation fixed. I STILL HAVEN’T There is alot of red-tape involved in removing false info off of your record. I will give you all the details at a later time. But I can assure you that having Evading Police, Possesion of a Stolen vehicle, Possesion of Narcotics, Armed Robbery, Participation in Organized Criminal Activity, and Capital Murder all on your Background Check can really screw you up employment wise. I have been fired during my first week of work for lying on my application more than anyone I have ever heard of.

I found that my mom was doing Okay and there was no reason for me to stay in this God-forsaken town. So, off I went. I had to keep under the Radar so I kept bartending and traveling. I did Houston,TX. , Austin,Tx., Albuquerque,NM., Charlotte,NC, and ended up right back here in Norfolk,VA. And that is when the next chapter of my SUPER-LONG-OVER-INFORMATIVE-INTRO will pick up next.
