The State Of The Blog: Behind The Scenes
OK, “State Of The Blog” is a bit grandiose; however, it is within the spirit of what I hope to achieve.
See, I want to be more consistent with this blog and help it grow. I want to write more.
And to that end, my goal is to publish something every week, on Friday or Saturday.
What’s funny is that I’ve always got something to say, but random thoughts don’t always make the most captivating Posts.
I need an angle, a niche, ~a topic I can really focus on…

State Of The Blog (OldCynic.Com)
Why is it that no matter where I go within my own home, whenever I think I’m finally alone, do I feel like someone’s watching me?
Do you ever get that feeling?
It’s not Google this time or Big Government trying to figure out how brain-dead I am… No, it’s something more mischievous…
WHAT IN THE F#@K DOES HE WANT?!
He’s fed, petted, been to the loo, and already has companionship, yet this little Mogwai [Wiki] is still spying on me.
I know what he wants.
If I so much as think about the kitchen he’ll be all over me, ~like me and him have the same business in there.
No, you little walking fluff-bag, that’s my kitchen. ~I don’t remember your contribution to the household bills.
No, man, cuddles and belly rubs don’t cut it. That ain’t a currency, and you ain’t employed.
But then he just stands there, all one foot of him, looking up at me.
You know these Dogs can move their eyebrows to get at your emotions… What kind of sick b#st%rd put that into play?
I got to feign going to the loo, double-back on myself, spin on a dime, and quickly shut the door behind me, or this little manipulator will eat me out of house and home!
What Should The OC Write About?
When I departed from full-time coverage of E&P, it seemed like the logical choice was to write about games.
But it’s not that interesting of a subject unless you naturally enjoy a game, like I did with Royal Match.
Even then, it’s difficult to get people to read it. (And I’m not the best at selling myself).
However, in writing about games, I came to value the original concept of this blog, which was to provide me with an outlet.
Because I always want to write.
I have to thank the OC-E&P Facebook Group [FB] which universally encouraged me to focus on Thoughts and Stories.
It was their feedback that led me to reconsider what I actually find interesting.
And the answer?
I find society fascinating. It amazes me how corrupt the system of humanity is, and the impact it has on the masses.
Of course, I’m not about to start publishing anything contentious from within the UK. We don’t enjoy the same Free Speech here as my US Readers might be accustomed to, especially not common people like me.
More than that, though, if we (you and me) can’t have a good giggle at what we see, then it doesn’t fit into the key rule I had when I created this blog, which was to make something positive.
After all, there’s more than enough doom and gloom in the world.
SO WHAT’S THE ANSWER?!
I’m just going to write and hope the blog finds its way.
Here are some of the topics I might write about:
- Weird, Odd, or Funny Observations
- Current Affairs (in the news)
- My love of Christmas
- Escaping the Rat Race
- My Dog Staring at Me
- Game Posts, if I have something to say
- Website Building
- Personality Types
- The Nature of this Realm, and
- The Global Conspiracy against the People of Earth (…jokes, this one is firmly off the table 😁)
Any of that interest you?
Old Cynic Life, November 23rd, 2024
My final thoughts:
I intend to post something next Friday or Saturday and keep it going for a while. At least then, we can see if it develops into something people enjoy.
I don’t know how many of you are aware of the recent changes with Google and search results.
But it means that it’s even harder for blogs like mine to find an audience.
Nevertheless, I prefer writing over being in front of a camera.
My mind deals with it better.
Anyway, to my dear reader and fellow co-exister on Earth, you have my thanks as ever. Please feel free to leave your thoughts below.
Have a great week!

I’m no expert at dogs (not a good start) but, as you are the leader of his ‘pack’ he probably looks to you (a) because he is devoted to you (he depends on you for everything after all) and (b) because he’s waiting for you to interact with him, tell him what he should do etc. I have cats… they couldn’t give a damn.
🙂 Yes, that is his ‘bored and wouldn’t treats be fun’ face.
I should add, this is all in jest. He is used to being around us a lot but when we’re busy, or it’s near his meal time/or activity time, he sometimes stares hoping that we haven’t forgotten.
This will escalate to jumping up at us, if and when necessary.
Go for it, my friend! As the big thinker said “nothing and everything is possimpible”
Hey Mig-El, good to see you! Yes, without trying something we will never know. I shall try!
Hey old cynic , it’s Nice to notice you keep on writing and i’ll be happy to read, just as i did with e&p! I like your style and the feeling of honesty it has. Since i completely retired from ‘that gamen i have some spare time on my hands anyway so i light as well divide it in reading your blog and taking Care of my 6months old pup😅😉.
Enjoy!
Thank you Duende! 6 months? Contrats, a great age. I’ll assume it’s not your first, but if so, I say, they are just like Gremlins: Never feed them after midnight or they’ll become monsters…
Meaning, don’t teach them habits you don’t want them to keep, because they are creatures of habit and will come to expect it, at the same time, everyday!
