Okay, I wrote this really good column

...about pmi and stuff and I got emails from some people who said I was an idiot (not in the Biblical sense, mind you) and that I was wrong, blah, blah, blah. Which brings me to the point that when you write stuff you'd better be write, er, right or else you're going to get it. I mean REALLY get it...since your written word is all over the Internet, or can be anyway, it can get dissected and picked apart (just wondering if dissecting and picked apart is redundant- seems not as dissecting implies precision where picked apart is closer to those dingo dogs in australia. but I appreciate any input)

anyway...I was right, the emails were wrong..they tried to correct me but they couldn't. when you put something up for people to read one had better do their homework and I'm not talking about Cliff Notes...

I'm a hypocrite and I'm not embarrassed about it

I'm a columnist for Realty Times and I wrote this article about how blogs have exceeded their utility in getting new business. I even mentioned that it seems like everyone and their dogs have a blog and that even my dog has one. While I still think that (the utility concept, not the dog-blog thing) I am now wondering why I started this blog. Maybe I'm the kind of guy who has an inferiority complex and must do what others do to be accepted.

Maybe I was just thinking that a few short years ago if I told someone I had a "blog" they would have thought it was something from an "Outer Limits" episode about a fat dog or something. Terminology changes along with technology.

I know for a fact that if I told my wife five years ago that I "googled" someone she would have divorced me on the spot. Things change. And I'm a thing.

Or maybe I really haven't started a blog at all. Maybe I have both started a blog and ended it at the same time. This could be a ying/yang gig. Or quantum-blog theory.

I'll keep you posted, or maybe I'll just keep myself posted to see if anyone ever reads this stuff. It's not like I don't have anything to write, I'm a published author and my latest book "Mortgage Confidential" is going great guns. Happy about that. Maybe I need to thank some bloggers. Or maybe I need to thank the book reviewers. Or both. Or maybe I need to just thank myself because it's the best home finance book on the market. Ever. Humbly speaking, of course.

okay...testing, three, two, one....
