Welcome back,
To that same old place that you laughed about.

Well the names have all changed since you hung around,
But those dreams have remained and they’re turned around.

Who’d have thought they’d lead ya (Who’d have thought they’d lead ya)
Here where we need ya (Here where we need ya)

Yeah we tease him a lot cause we’ve hot him on the spot, welcome back,
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.

I agree, three blogs is a bad idea. Right now I'm having trouble finding the time to write for this blog, so I'll have even more trouble with 3 sites. I've got a new post nearly ready... About my fiction writing, The stories I am writing have some pretty raw stuff, crime, violence, profanity, anger, drugs, racism... not that they promote any of those things, they are simply attributes of stories and characters I am developing and are needed for the stories to feel real, and I don't know if this is the right place for that kind of material. We'll see. I don't know if I'll ever publish any of them here. My ultimate dream is to have the stories turned into scripts for a uncensored series like the Sopranos. A series where you can put a human face on some ugly realities and sub-cultures within American suburbs. If you've ever seen the movies Alpha Dog or Rivers Edge or The Outsiders you'll have an idea what I am writing. Thanks again all!

This though seems unlikely for you. Other reason may be that you want to exclude your name from the domain for the new blogs. You writing frequency is less and each post carry a lot of content to read thus will be exhaustive if you go into separate three blogs (even if you do that I would subscribe to all).

I love the discussions and it goes with your theme. I don't know of any other blogger that talks about politics and creating freedom in your life. BTW, I've thought about doing a short story or fiction site as well. I realized the question with blogging is not finding the time to write, it's finding the time and energy to grow and nurture an audience. That said, I was all set to write a hiatus post on BLC when the best stuff started flowing out. So I'm going to go lighter on the audience growth this year and refocus on the stuff I really like -- writing. Happy New Year, Nneka Hi Steve, I like the politics here.

We all know that life can keep us busy sometimes - especially with home businesses and kids. The fact that you are reassessing your goals and values is a great thing - I wish more people did that on their blogs. Until then, Keep smiling. Steve,

Back at Last! I'm sure your other fans are as excited as I am about your return. Puttin all three here makes sense to me but I'll read'em wherever you put them. Steve! Back at Last!
