Of course, the Gretawire is blowing up because Ric was on the show tonight and had a conversation with Fox News about things that went down today.

Ric doesn’t speak for me. I don’t speak for Ric. I am not a part of any of this. Period.

Welcome to MY blog. This is MY stinking blog. This is MY time now.

I am trying as hard as I can to not be upset about the way I have been treated in general today. But it is very hard given what has happened. I feel let down by police, by my work, by basically everyone. Especially those who don’t know anything about me and have already rushed to judge me hidden behind a first name on a blog.

I design websites. I get paid to do websites. Sometimes, I’ll even do them for free as a family favor. In addition I have a DAY JOB which PAYS MY RENT AND FEEDS MY FAMILY (Which now appears in jeopardy due to today’s events)

I have never had to deal with what I have tonight. I don’t know Drew Peterson. I don’t wanna know Drew Peterson. I don’t even really know Ric. He is a family member of one of my best friends. When someone like that approaches you to do a website, you say sure. I didn’t know anything really about the case except what was on the news. I have known Ric in passing for years and thought it would be a nice website I could add to my SMALL resume in order to attract NEW CLIENTS to help support myself. I knew the site would get hits based on its content and author. I know the case is popular. Isn’t that what shows like Nancy Grace thrive on? Popular news cases? Why am I different because I created a site for someone who had something interesting to say. (whether you agree with him or not)

I posted this on Greta’s blog.

I would like to clarify a few things. One, I was just a webmaster for Ric Mims. I know him through a family friend. He never told me anything except how to design the website. I don’t have any knowledge of anything that he has knowledge of. I just worked and designed this website for him.

I don’t know anything about Drew Peterson except what you all know from the news.

I am transferring the domain to Ric Mims tomorrow because I just created the website for him under my name. Stupid, maybe? But that is just how it played out. He asked me to do a website for him so he could speak his mind. It’s called a BLOG. That’s what it was, a BLOG. I even had a disclaimer to take me out of it completely. In addition the only posts I ever made were the first two indicating that Ric will be along shortly.

The post in-question was not and could not be traced back to me. If it was, do you think I would be speaking to you right now? And secondly, why on earth would I want to jeopardize my job and my well being? I have a family, I have tons of bills, and I have goals I want to accomplish in life. I make very little money from websites. I was at work when all of this went down. And I responded to the detectives throughly.

I was in jail but it had NOTHING to do with this case. They questioned me for a while about the blog and what I do, questioned me pretty intensely about things I had no clue about nor WANT to know about and then I was brought in on an unrelated traffic warrant from missing court a year or so back.

It was an emotional roller coaster today. But I stand by my work. I created a website. That’s what I did. I didn’t talk. I didn’t share opinion.

I share my opinions on my other blogs because they are mine.

God bless

That is my formal statement right now. But inside my soul is on fire. I am so angry at a whole lot of people, I don’t even know where to begin.  So I won’t.

Just know one thing. This is my life we’re talking about. This isn’t a dream. This isn’t a news report. This isn’t a whim followed by Illinois State Police. This is MY life, turned upside down because of a blog I didn’t even write on.

My feelings will be known.

PS. Next post will be back on niche. Sorry about the ranting.
