Want more "Gloomies?" - Click on the image

Lately, in addition to questions regarding my overall sanity, there has been some question as to why The Slow Bleed does not have many “warm fuzzy posts.” After carefully reminding myself “hey, this is MY blog” I moved on…

First off, let’s look at the name: The Slow Bleed (yea, that sounds like it will be a site full of Unicorns and Fluffy Bunnies.)

Seriously, I didn’t name it The Hello Kitty Blog or The Make Your Life Feel Better Blog (heck, those two weren’t even in the running).

Next, I am going with the “It’s my Party and I will Cry if I Want to” defense or, in this case, continue to write whatever, usually sarcastic thoughts, I want.

For the sake of clarity, here is a list of things you will probably never read about on this blog…

1. Kittens playing with yarn.

Eyes Going? Click on the image to read.

2. Unicorns and Fluffy Bunnies (but I think I already covered that).

3. Pretty much anything to do with Twitter (ok except for may this, it does sounds interesting… A Night of 140 Tweets: A Celebrity Tweetathon for Haiti)

4. Farmville and Mafia Wars

5. Any movie with a Vampire (with the exception of Nosferatu)

6.  Any Hollywood Gossip that has to do with adopting kids.

With that said, I should showcase a few positive things from time to time so that my readers don’t think I am a stay-out-of-the-sun-and-eat-bunnies type of person (aahhh hell, I just broke #2 and #4).

Seeing that this is Friday, this still makes me smile…

Granted I am still working out all the bugs and deciding where to put things (that will just give me something to do this weekend). It is like moving into a new house! Categories to swap around, tabs to program, candy corn to steal from little kids (hey, I need a break from the computer at some point!).

Why the change? Well, the new format will give me a chance to better layout some topics. With the election coming to an end – thank God – I can move on to other fun stuff the Slow Bleed is known for. 

Yea, I threw on some sponsor banners. Did the Godfather sell out? Not really, if people click on a few banners (say, that one on the right looks nice) and help pay for the hosting that works for me. If they don’t, it is not like I was going to payoff the government bailout anyway! 

Oh yea, and a special shout out to Sam David. I hired him off eLance to help me move over all the old blogs, photos, and comments. Great guy. If you need some WordPress stuff done I highly recommend him.

Back to messing with the blog…

P.S. Let me know what you think or if you have any suggestions!

If you could change one thing the US is doing right now; such as our policies on Immigration, War in Iraq, Education, Homelessness, Healthcare, etc, etc. What would you change?
