Facebook and Forex is killing my blog
It has been an eternity since I last made a post here and at some point one must ask whether I am maintaining this blog at all. I started this site several years ago and have made a journal of every up and down over that time, until late last year. I started and lost businesses, homes and embarked on my boat projects since then.
In these last six months I’ve started studying forex trading and also took a very crappy part-time sales job in the evenings. In this same period of time I also opened an account on Facebook and – like most people now – I spend most of my time posting links and giving personal updates on my FB account.
I don’t know if this means I should close this site down or just update it only on rare occasions. Is “old-fashioned” personal blogging dead? Has anyone else faced the prospect of shutting down their blogs and Myspace journals in favor of Facebook? Not sure myself, but I thought I should say something here about my absence.
If for no other reason than it counts as a blog post…

Well brother,
your story seemed interesting enough for me to come back looking for more. It´s sad that some times it takes a while for us to have something worth posting. Anyway….posting or not, in this blog or in facebook, I wish you luck in your future endeavours.
Cheers

Gunnar, cool of you to stop in say hello. I do intend to keep this going; there are enough things to happen in life (and content to share) that’s a bit larger than one can squeeze into a Facebook status update.
Cheers
