look, I'm doing my best, I try, but I am woeful. Why am I ignored and passed over. Here I am, plodding along, making hubs, spending time to educate, inform and be humorous, yet few appreciate it.
Perhaps I should just pack it up? Perhaps I should resign myself that this isn't the place for me?
Maybe I'm low and depressed. Maybe things aren't as grim as I imagine. Maybe I'm not trying hard enough. Oh woe.
Did I tell you that my dog died recently. It was just after I lost my job, which led to me losing my house. And then my wife left me. And she took the kids. Then I lost the car. Then I walked out of a bar and got splashed by a Lincoln. So my pants were soaked. So I returned to the bar and they banned me for being improperly attired.
So then I went to a hotel and they refused my credit card because it was invalid. So I wandered around and a tramp took pity and gave me a dollar. Which I gambled on a horse. It lost. So then I wandered around the alley and a cat gave me a half eaten fish.
Eventually I ended up in Colorado, and I got arrested because I looked like an illegal immigrant. Then I finally got to Texas. So I sung about my sorrow, and they gave me some cowboy clothes and they loved me. I'm a Country and Western singer now.
But hubpages don't love me. What more can I do?
Or better yet...Learn the two step...or join a Rock n' Roll Band!
You could always re-invent yourself and become a blues sing instead. Stevie Ray was great long before he died. You could be too.
Holy roll'in churches are big right now. You could be the next televangelist! Just raise your hands, touch the sky and do the moon walk. You'll be Jackson reincarnate and a divine hand ready for a dollar.
I try not to care - but your plight has touched me deeply, if you send me all your credit card numbers and passwords I will transfer some of the money I am getting from a Nigerian Prince who emailed me earlier about my unknkown dead Uncles millions languishing in his bank.

Is it possible for Hubtivity to show who gave a hub a thumbs up. This question came up in my hub "Why I Don't Always Comment, Even When I Loved Your Hub". JamaGenee made the comment, and I agree 100%, that it would be very beneficial to hubbers to see this. People don't...

I'm not sure if I'm just burnout out or if I'm doing something wrong. Here is a simi-short version of my issues....I wrote for eHow for years, I was a loyal writer, whose content was actually somewhat decent. I was completely dependent on that income. When it changed over to Demand Studios, I...

Is menopause making anyone else crazy?I am so tired of the sweating! Hot flashes and night sweats are no fun. How does one get a good night's sleep when they have to change pajamas or bedding or both in the middle of the night? Sleeping nude is worse - sweat trickles and tickles...
