No, really. Really, it is. I've had enough false starts and this time I think I'm going to do it. I've finished the novel and have begun a search for an agent (hence the banner at the top), and am going to do some posts regarding updates for that. Don't forget, I have a new EP out on iTunes, &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/browserRedirect?url=itms%3A%2F%2Fax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net%2FWebObjects%2FMZStore.woa%2Fwa%2FviewAlbum%3Fid%3D265009713%26s%3D143441&quot;&gt;Heartbreak Superstar&lt;/a&gt;.&quot; You can purchase it through iTunes &lt;a href=&quot;http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/browserRedirect?url=itms%3A%2F%2Fax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net%2FWebObjects%2FMZStore.woa%2Fwa%2FviewAlbum%3Fid%3D265009713%26s%3D143441&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. </description>  </item>  <item> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://emergingpilgrim.blogspirit.com/archive/2006/09/20/updates.html</guid> <title>Updates</title> <link>http://emergingpilgrim.blogspirit.com/archive/2006/09/20/updates.html</link> <author>noreply@blogspirit.com (Bryan Thompson)</author>   <category>Blog</category>   <pubDate>Wed, 20 Sep 2006 04:43:26 +0000</pubDate> <description> &lt;p&gt;Well, it's about time I updated the ol' blog. I'm still not sure how happy I am with it, but for the time being, this will have to do because I'm too exhausted tonight to worry about any more of it. For a while, I was debating whether or not I should up and leave the BlogSpirit community because &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.myspace.com/bryanthompsonblogged&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;MySpace&lt;/a&gt; was just so much more addictive. But then, there's something nice about the actual blog format that I've really enjoyed. Plus, I wouldn't want to lose the six readers I have on this blog by switching over to a &quot;sellout&quot; blog site like MySpace. Also, there's the added thing that I don't want to lose over a year's worth of blog posts (including pics and the like). So, I will find new ways to update the BlogSpirit site for a while and we'll see where the blog road takes me. Thanks for your patience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Technorati Tags: &lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/MySpace&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;MySpace&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/Blogging&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Blogging&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/Blog&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Blog&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; </description>  </item>  <item> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://emergingpilgrim.blogspirit.com/archive/2006/08/05/check-out-my-article-on-theooze-com.html</guid> <title>Check Out My Article on TheOoze.com</title> <link>http://emergingpilgrim.blogspirit.com/archive/2006/08/05/check-out-my-article-on-theooze-com.html</link> <author>noreply@blogspirit.com (Bryan Thompson)</author>   <category>Blog</category>  <category>Emerging Church</category>  <category>Theology</category>   <pubDate>Sat,  5 Aug 2006 01:25:01 +0000</pubDate> <description> &lt;br /&gt; Hey!

I think Xanga's day has certainly come and gone, and I have some problems with Xanga anyway. I do happen to like my &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.emergingpilgrim.tk/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;blogspirit&lt;/a&gt; account because anyone and their mother can post on it. Although I tend to find most MySpace-related stuff bland and boring (by that, I mean the layout and the look - not necessarily the content). Also, MySpace seems to be so &quot;trendy&quot; and yet I see a lot of people I wouldn't necessarily consider &quot;trendy&quot; on MySpace, so perhaps it's more than that.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; I don't like that one MUST be a member to post on MySpace, but then again, I guess that's another way Rupert Murdoch makes publicity. (Murdoch also owns a tiny little news company called &quot;Fox News&quot; if you didn't know, so I think he does okay for himself.)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; MySpace blogging? Hmm. Have I completely sold out? Perhaps, but I'm tired of posting to three different blogs.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; MySpace I think it is, then. Don't worry. I'll still keep this one for a while. By the way, my MySpace address is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.myspace.com/bryanthompsonblogged&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;myspace.com/bryanthompsonblogged&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; (Thanks, you've all witnessed my indecisiveness at its best and have helped me make a very important life decision.)&lt;/p&gt; </description>  </item>  <item> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://emergingpilgrim.blogspirit.com/archive/2006/03/22/and-bryan-tweaks-the-layout-again.html</guid> <title>And Bryan Tweaks the Layout Again</title> <link>http://emergingpilgrim.blogspirit.com/archive/2006/03/22/and-bryan-tweaks-the-layout-again.html</link> <author>noreply@blogspirit.com (Bryan Thompson)</author>   <category>Blog</category>   <pubDate>Wed, 22 Mar 2006 02:15:48 +0000</pubDate> <description> &lt;p&gt;Well, I hope you enjoy the new layout. I worked on this one early this morning and I like it so far. For one thing, there's the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer&quot;&gt;Flash&lt;/a&gt; banner at the top. (If you don't have flash, get it &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.) I might tweak that a little more. Also, I switched the side panels and put my profile info on the left with the comment stuff on the right. Let me know what you think.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;Technorati Tags:: &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/web%20design&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;web design&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/blogosphere&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;blogosphere&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt; </description>  </item>  <item> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://emergingpilgrim.blogspirit.com/archive/2006/03/15/learning-the-technorati.html</guid> <title>Learning the Technorati</title> <link>http://emergingpilgrim.blogspirit.com/archive/2006/03/15/learning-the-technorati.html</link> <author>noreply@blogspirit.com (Bryan Thompson)</author>   <category>Blog</category>  <category>Random</category>   <pubDate>Wed, 15 Mar 2006 17:00:00 +0000</pubDate> <description> &lt;p&gt;So, I'm figuring out what power the great blog-search engine &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.technorati.com&quot;&gt;Technorati&lt;/a&gt; is and how it works with pathetic blogs like mine. So, here's trying for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.technorati.com&quot;&gt;Technorati&lt;/a&gt; links below.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;Technorati Tags:: &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/Technorati&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;Technorati&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/tag/blogosphere&quot; rel=&quot;tag&quot;&gt;blogosphere&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt; </description>  </item>  </channel> </rss>
