Before going to the olympics George Bush condemned Beijing’s human rights record, forgetting about his torture policies in Iraq. Yes, he may torture people while messing in the business of the rest of the world.

China said:

“We resolutely oppose any words or actions which interfere in the internal affairs of another country in the name of issues such as human rights and religion,”

Because the Bush said:

“America stands in firm opposition to China’s detention of political dissidents and human rights advocates and religious activists,”

Does the time you spend online reflect in your blog posts? August 5th, 2008

I spend just about half the entire day and night on the internet looking for interesting stuff to waste my slow bandwidth with while I am supposed to blog how about you?

If you run a full time blog your excuse usually is that you are hard at work typing a way working on your blog, the rest of the time you either hope for summer or busy burning yourself in this day of global warming looking at bikinis or taking a surf.

Well unfortunately internet addiction and full time blogging go hand in hand. I guess because its winter here in South Africa and everyone sits behind the pc all day.

The question is does the time you spend on the internet reflect on your blog in a good way, are there enough posts for you to sit there all day?

Personally I realized today I only started a blog and did about 5 posts on Fromtheold But I’ve spend all day online. So technically my time spend online versus posts does not satisfy me being online all day.

In other words if you dont spend your time blogging when you want to be or are a full time blogger you are basically wasting your time.

I do.
