As a blogger, I maintain several blogs and websites such as World of Fail and Review Chicago. In addition to these websites, I guest post on numerous blogs, and currently write content for six other blogs. Man Vs Blog is my outlet for discussing things of interest, including tips on blogging and social media.

As a musician, I have toured the country in the rock band The Translation. Before The Translation, I was in another successful band called Saraphine. I spent 8 years honing my skill as a songwriter, and learned a great deal in grassroots marketing. I am currently recording my solo debut record.

Deciding On The Right Time To Blog

This week was a rough week for me personally. If you follow my twitter, you know my mother passed away from a long battle with lung cancer.

I took a week off from everything just to clear my head. There were many points where I wanted to rush to my computer to crank out a meaningless blog or two to make sure my web stats on various sites were up where I wanted them to be. I thought better of that as I feel the quality of my work would suffer if my mindset wasn’t clear.

So I have opted to take a few more days off. Blog readers are a kind and caring bunch, I am sure everyone understands.

Cheers until next time, and thank you everyone for the heartwarming comments on my facebook, myspace and twitter accounts.

    It’s sad to lose people in our lives but it’s something we have to face. Let yourself deal with it and forget about your online life for now. It will be here when you’re ready.

    You and your family are in our thoughts.
