Briana’s Blog of Madness

Hi! Since you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed to get updates.

I’m curious to know how many social networks you all belong to. I have at least 16 including:  Facebook Pages, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Delicious, DandyID, Twine, Stumble, Friendfeed, RedGage, BlogCatalog, Yahoo!, Google, Kaboodle, weRead, Blinklist.

I’m wondering how many networks you use, what you use, and how useful you find them to be for both business and personal use. What networks do you find are best for meeting new people and making friends? Which ones are best for promoting your business? Are there any you use just for fun, with no other real purpose?

I find some of the things I’m using to be better than others. Some I hardly ever use. I like sites that I can connect to other services I use, such as being able to add my Twitter feed to my Facebook. I’m still upset that MySpace won’t make themselves compatible with outside services. I’d love to use my Twitter to update my MySpace status, but they won’t allow it. I can’t import an RSS feed into the blog the way I can on FaceBook either. I tend to aim for services that can be tied into one another, so I can have my entire network of friends and associates updated all the time.

Post comments and let me know what you’re using. I’d like to meet new people, but I’m also very interested in services that will allow me to promote my work. Oh, and I’m also only working in free services.

Hey all. I am putting this call out to all the bloggers out there.

I have been writing how-to articles for some time now, and since they are part of my income stream (which is seriously suffering right now), it would be of great help if you would link to them in some of your blogs.

I have written about 160 articles, which can be seen here: brianadragon | eHow.com
I have written how-tos on a variety of subjects. I would greatly appreciate it if you would take a look at what I have written, and if any of them relate to the topic discussed in your blog(s), please link to them. Be sure to look at all the articles, as I have written multiple articles on single subject, and you may want to link to more than one. For instance, I have written at least 10 articles about bird care and training, and many articles about herbal cures, Earth-friendly tips, and relationship advice.

When linking to the articles, please do not copy the article to your blog. However, feel free to copy and use the intro paragraph, photo and title. eHow doesn’t provide an RSS feed, but if you would like to have a feed of what articles I have posted, you can find the feed for my Twine here: Briana Blair | Twine . I Twine all my articles, so you can find feeds there, if you think they would be of use.

All links are greatly appreciated, and I hope that they will add useful and interesting resources for all your readers. Feel free to post a comment with the URL(s) of any posts you make that link to my articles. More traffic for both of us!

Also, if your blog has anything to do with CafePress or POD sites, you may be interested in linking to Blair & Peacock Creations Clothes, Art & More : CafePress.com

I can’t help wondering (and rather often) why bad things happen to good people. If there is a God, I really have to wonder what they’re thinking most of the time.

There are so many people in the world who are evil, rotten pieces of shit, and they get away with everything, they get money, they have all the luck… I simply don’t understand it. They get everything, while people who try to be kind and giving, people who work their asses off and do all they can, get shit on and fucked over at every possible turn.

It’s really hard to have any faith, and it makes me wonder why I even try anymore. I work so hard, I try everything I can, and yet things just won’t work for me. It’s not fair and it’s not right. I have been busting my ass for a long time. I deserve to have a better life than this. What I have now is just surviving, not living.

There is really no reason why all the things I’m doing aren’t making as much money for me as they are for other people I know. I do the same things, I do more and work harder, and nothing comes of it. What gives? If there’s a God, does it hate me? Is there something standing in the way of my success and happiness that I just can’t see? I wish I knew what th efuck was going on so that I could make it right.

I suppose the fact that I have basically no real friends has something to do with it. Most other people have friends and family that care about them and help them out. I have no one. I know a lot of people, but 98% of them don’t seem to really give half a fuck about me. I try to be good to people, I listen to their problems, do whatever I can for them, but they can’t even do things for me that cost nothing and only require them to use a few minutes of their life. It’s sad really, that people aren’t even willing to do things to help me out that are free. How cheap and selfish can you be? I’m broke to the extreme, and I still help people whenever I can.

I really wish I had some friends. It would be nice to have people to help me remember why I haven’t killed myself yet, and help me keep going in the hopes of better things. Having emtional support means a lot, but it’s something I’ve been without for a long time.

I’m not ready to give up yet, but those suicidal thoughts are getting stronger and stronger. I’m pushing myself beyond my limits, and getting nothing for it. If my life doesn’t get better soon, I don’t think I’m going to have any reason to keep living it. for now though, I do what I do, and I pray to whatever might hear me for guidance and change. Maybe something or someone will have mercy on me, and make this suffering stop.
