Late Night Post From A Founder

Okay, yeah when it's late night I kind of like writing to you. As a blogger I'm still in this weird world where no wild person on the internet who reads my post comments. So I take liberty in saying whatever I want. Once one of you beautiful 10K plus people talk to me, well, I'm pretty sure I will get shy, and not be so open.

Yeah, all of my post from then on on out will be all censored by fears in my mind. I'll never be me again. So keep reading and don't talk to me, cause I'm in a freedom area and I know it. 


Here is the thing, when one of my startup ideas shakes the world, well, then I'm fucking screwed. Cause you'll be talking to me. I won't be here typing to myself, words of craziness. I'll have to be all professional then. Ugg. I sort of don't like professionalism. It seems to put a damper on creationism. And in the startup world the P and C have conflicts. That's the problem we have. 

I myself undoubtedly hate professionalism. The big P is not me. I'm wacky, I'm wild, I'm crazy, I'm searching, I'm seeking, I'm building, I'm me. And having to follow some rules of professionalism is not me. Of course I will follow the rules just enough to be accepted or funded. 

We only have one life, and I just cannot be constrained by anyone or any institutions rules. Cause rules put a big damper on imagination. When you stamp rules on imagination than you stop gifts for humanity. Rules, expectations, yeah we do need them in societies, yet none of us can decipher the lines. So we STAMP the rules on everyones head, and expect people like me to follow them. I cannot. I never will. I refuse. Cause I choose to explore where creativity can go. 

Keep building your startups and living outside the boundary of rules. This is where us entrepreneurs SHINE.

The Weird Way I See Blogging

I have been wanting to blog about this topic for a long time. THE BLOG. The experience I have as a blogger or the weird way I see it. 

I have been blogging on Long Shot for just over a year now, and I have never had one person comment, except my husband and that doesn't count. In many ways, to me this blog is a diary. I can say whatever I want, because as I see it no one reads it. Yet people do, because I have that funny thing we all like trampling around in, analytics! 


Yep, people read it, or at least they click on it. Not sure which is the most true. Here I am the one writing so many crazy post, and the way I feel is, it's a diary to me. I think that is because, no one comments. I have no interaction with others. Therefore its just me talking to SPACE. Now I am okay with this. The one thing I know is that once you have interaction, you are really fucked. Cause then you have to spend more time in a platform, and no one has more time.

Right now I have it made. I can say whatever I want and I piss no one off. I can blog about any secretes and have no worries, no one will read it. I have so much freedom because no one comments on my post. Truly this is a heaven for me. 

When I started my first startup, I thought that the email did not work because I never received any emails. As my startup grew, I started getting emails, and still to this day that startup email account gets saturated with emails. It's overwhelming, it's crazy, it's a time sucker, and it's a dead startup.

If no one comments on my blog post, to me that is a super time saver! If you comment, then I will be obligated to respond. Sure I would be delighted to respond, and I would respond. Yet, right now I am in the beautiful area of blogging.Freedom. 


The day that people start talking to me in my blog,is the day I will realize it's not a diary and that everyone can see it, and maybe I will be more shy and not free to post my truest feelings. Maybe when the world starts talking to me, I will not be able to as free with my words as I am now. That would be tragic. Freedom of speech is a good thing. 

Yeah, I would love to talk to you. All of you who read Long Shot Start Up Girl. It's approaching ten thousand hits. That is a ton of hits. Still, no comments. I'm okay with it. Cause I like being free to say what I want. I do wonder, if to have someone interact with me on Long Shot, would it happen only if I had one hundred thousand hits? Who knows. 

I think when Passdown gets recognition people will talk to me on this blog.  I don't know, I kind of bet, people will talk to me when I have a hit startup. For now I am enjoying blogging to what I see as no one. It's just me writing in a diary, stuffing it between the matresses and feeling good, because what I wrote,made me FREE.
