An Aspiring Writer's Spot on the Net

Changes Are a Coming….

Hello everyone, I’m back. I doubt that any of the old readers are really checking this site on a regular basis much anymore after my last hiatus. I stopped blogging for a bit because, quite frankly, it became work. I always said that I would continue to post here as long as it was fun and didn’t feel like a chore, but never the less, a chore it became.

As you can probably tell by now, there is a new format. If you look up in your browser address area, you will also notice that the address is different. That’s right, look up, you see it? No more leftlean. Why you ask? Because, like I said in the title, changes are a coming.

One of the main reasons why this site became a chore is because the focus was strictly on politics. I suppose I could have left the web address the same and just wrote about other things and sprinkle some politics in here and there, but I think that’s misleading. With a site titled “leftlean” it is just too restrictive. With a title like that, if I start writing about movies, or people I don’t like (not that I plan on doing that) it would just look stupid.

So, the new website title is my full name. I did this for a few reasons, one of which is that I don’t want to be restrictive about topics to write about. I also felt like I can always have the option to change the format/content of the site if it’s just my name. The final reason why I decided to change the title of the site was passion. I used to be very passionate about politics, and still am to an extent, but politics has been very frustrating lately. At this point, I feel like it just doesn’t matter who’s in office. It’s still the same shit different day. Don’t get me wrong, I am significantly happier with Obama in office than I was before with president dumb shit, but in my opinion, Obama has been a big disappointment. I wish that I could say that it’s not Obama’s fault and that he’s doing the best he can, but at this point I just don’t believe that.

With all that being said, hopefully anyone still checking this blog will enjoy the new format. I’m not going to promise to post every day or to stay topical. I’m going to write about whatever I feel like. The only promise that I’m going to make is that I will make this site as well written as possible. I have a passion for writing, and that is the only reason why I opened this site back up in the first place.

As of right now, the comment section is closed. I hadn’t checked the site in a couple of months and came back to find 786 comments. Most of them were crap, some were spam, there were some decent ones in there, but I wasn’t about to go through 786 comments and try to decipher which ones were real and which ones were trolls, therefore I deleted all of them, so there. I will open the comment section back up at some point. For now, all the comments that made it through the first time are still there.

Thank you to everyone who checked the site on a regular basis, hopefully the new format won’t piss you off that much. Good night and good luck.
