To Whom It May Concern, G’day mates! No, it’s not an April Fool’s joke, it really is a new post by me, on my increasingly misnamed blog (I should probably change it to iblogonceinabluemoon.com). To whatever subscribed readers and/or lurkers that I have left, I hope you’re all staying safe as much as possible. To…
It’s Sunday morning. Well, mid-morning, a little after 11am as I begin typing this. After doing a whole bunch of nothing yesterday, mostly sleeping and watching TV, I figured it’s time to put this day to use, and get back to writing. Let me tell you about my week, because I’m sure you’re all intensly…
Previously: I Am A Victim Of Credit Card Fraud I Am A Victim of Credit Card Fraud…AGAIN?!? Now like a bad film franchise, we’ve got another unwanted installment in my credit card fraud saga. This morning I got a phone call from an unidentified number that I didn’t recognize, so I just ignored it. Then…
I started this blog in October of 2008. Back in September of 2014, I did a post celebrating the fact that I’d reached 100,000 views. At that point, I included a list of my 10 most viewed posts. Well, here we are four and half years later, and as I type this I’m sitting at…
Found these from some random message board, figured I’d go ahead and answer them here. 1) WHEN YOU WERE A KID, WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GREW UP? I’m pretty sure I’ve answered this before, but I wanted to be a rapper. 2) WOULD YOU WANT TO LIVE IN SOME OTHER COUNTRY…
PREVIOUSLY: I Am A Victim of Credit Card Fraud Here we go again. This morning, at 9:56am, while I’m at work, I get an email on my phone, actually three emails, alerts from one of my credit card accounts, informing me of “card not present” charge, which was also an “international charge.” $204 charged on…
This is so messed up. What is wrong with the world today?!? So, last night I was at home, minding my own business, I was planning to go to sleep pretty early, around 9pm, as I needed to get to work early today. But I was still up at 9:17 when I get an email…

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 54,000 times in 2015. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 20 sold-out performances for that many…
#19 on the 30-Day Writing Challenge Prompt List FYI this list is not necessarily in order, but these are all things that I am deathly afraid of… #1 HEIGHTS When I say that I’m afraid of heights, I guess I should be more specific and say that I am afraid of falling from great heights.…
Taken from the 30-Day Writing Challenge Prompt #4. I’ve previously done a list of 25 Random Facts About Me, so I’ll have to try to come up with new stuff. And I’ve put the word “interesting” in quotes because, well, whether any of these facts are actually interesting is a matter of opinion. Judge for…
Let me start off by saying that this isn’t the deepest of topics. But, whatever, the day is almost over I need to make my daily post quota for the month (hey, I said I would write a new blog every day, I didn’t say I would write an important blog everyday), so here we…
Alright, here I am. For those of you who still occasionally pay attention to this blog, you know I have been lax, pathetically lax, in updating it on any kind of regular basis for MONTHS. Well, that is about to change, I am committing to getting back to my old blogging self. I promise, that…
So here’s a story from my youth. One Saturday afternoon when I was 16 or 17, I was walking to a local park. Halfway there I walked past this police car that was parked at the sidewalk. The police officer (who just so happened to be a White male) who was in the car got…
This just popped up in dashboard. Cool. 7 years…how time flies. I guess I need to get back to updating this thing again…
Alright, I’m trying to get back into regular blogging mode again. Time to live up to the name of this site and blog a lot. I know that up until yesterday’s first post I had not being doing much blogging at all in the past several months. And most of the blogs I have done…
Well, still a couple of days left in the year, but I might as well post this now. Thanks to all whom have been reading this years, even in this past month when I haven’t been updating it (but I’ve still been averaging over 200 views a day!), I appreciate every single last one of…
Okay, I caught up, mostly with a bunch of late comic-book reviews this weekend. This post right here now makes 30 posts for the month of November, which had 30 days. So for the 6th month in a row I’ve reached my goal of posting at least one post for every day of the month.…
This is a sequel to a post from last month: Giving Up On Your Dream? So click the link and read that first, if you haven’t already. Then come back here. Done? Good. I’ve discussed this subject a few times with people in real life since then, where I’ve had to elaborate on my stance.…
A couple of months ago a Facebook friend PM’d me and asked for tips about starting a blog. And when I posted my blog about 500 (and 1) Followers, another friend on Google+ asked me how to get that many followers. Well, look, I’m no expert at blogging, as I said, I just do this…
WARNING: SELF-PITYING RANT AHEAD Today is payday. Although it seems like I’m the one doing all the paying. I have direct deposit, so I wake up and get online and check my balance and see then it’s time to go down the list and start paying bills. By the time I’m done half my paycheck…
I swear, it’s just a coincidence. Just yesterday, I read a post from a blog that I follow that she hit 500 followers, and now today I get the above notice from WordPress that I’ve also hit that number. Add that to the fact that I also recently hit 100,000 views, that’s pretty Cool. Of…
Well, here we are on the last day of September. Man, time flies. Only 3 more months left of 2014. Anyway, this will be my 31st post of the month. So even though I didn’t actually post every single day, this averages out to at least a post a day for the month. So mission…
I noticed that I hit a milestone yesterday, this blog surpassed 100,000 views! As I write this I’m at 100,322 to be exact. It’s been a long, but winding, road to this destination, since October 2008 when I decided to switch from using my Myspace blog to WordPress. Originally I just used jrlemar as my…
I’m sitting here drinking orange juice and about to get ready for work, and it reminded me of and old experience that I once blogged about on Myspace several years ago, and I thought I’d rewrite it now, because I don’t have anything else to post about. It’s embarrassing but, hey, that’s a sacrifice that…
