Note: I also team blog at DEPLORABLE Bloggers Alliance (previously called Infidel Bloggers Alliance), founded by Pastorius, and used to post at NorthernVirginiastan.
So, here's the story of Always On Watch....
Now, of course, I have often moved on to topics besides that of Islam. Why? Because of something Friedrich Nietzsche wrote and because I really didn't have more to say on the topic of the threat of Islam to Western Civilization. Look at the evidence and come to your own conclusion. But don't look too long into the abyss.
HERE is my first post (April 28, 2005) at my first Always On Watch blog, using a Blogger template before Warren customized a template for me.
After my first Always On Watch blog, because of troll wars I next moved to Always On Watch 2 (July 24, 2006-November 29, 2010); Always On Watch 2 uses Warren's customized template as does Always On Watch: Semper Vigilans, the blog you are reading right now. Team member Silverfiddle often posts here, too, and keeps this blog running when Warren and I are too busy to do so. Grateful for you, Silverfiddle!
It is through the blogosphere that I met and made the closest friends I now have, too many to name. I must, however, now mention Mustang, my first cyberfriend. At the time of our meeting here on the web, we were both new to the blogosphere and had to stumble our way through HTML, Java Script, and the like.
Many of my cyberfriends became "real life" friends and helped me in different ways during the horrible 11.5 years after Mr. AOW's stroke in 2009 — especially Patricia, former blogger The Merry Widow, who came from Florida to Northern Virginia to stay with us several times to lend a hand. At one point, she stayed with us for eleven months. Eleven months! I needed her help through kidney surgeries and complications thereafter. She literally saved my life and saved Mr. AOW from confinement in a nursing home. TMW passed away suddenly on March 29, 2020. I miss her every day.
And, of course, it is through the blogosphere that I met my beloved Warren — and even the best man at our wedding The Beak! And The Beak is the one who introduced Warren and me at The Electronic Bar.
Because of my original intent with my blogging, the following has been suggested as my theme song:
Maybe the song below should have been my theme song, although it keeps disappearing from YouTube:
About Islam...Ayaan Hirsi Ali on the critically-important topic, even to this day: Is Islam a Religion of Peace? Worth your time.
