I've never been one to run and hide when ever I've fucked up, so it's time to face the music and let every one know that for the past couple of month, I've been passing other people's work off as my own. This is not an apology, because I'm not sorry I did it, just sorry i got caught.... But please allow me to give you the excuses reasons why I have been blatantly plagiarising other work and passing it as my own. So while you're judging me, please just make it to the end and then downvote the shit out of me, but understand why I did it!

So where to start:
- with two kids, I just don't have time to think up and write original work everyday
- my work is very stressful and I switch my brain off when I'm at home
- I honestly thought #hive would sink faster than the titanic
- I find my own written work very dull and boring
- it was never meant to go on as long or as bad
- The list goes on.....

I've not always been a dirty copy and paste cheat, in fact, over the course of my steemit/hive journey, I'm confident in saying the bulk of my blogs have been original work and in my opinion not #shitpost material. I can't even remember what was the first piece of work I copied, it probably started with a shit day in work, followed by a hectic evening with the kid(s), reading an interesting article (on the toilet for 5 minutes peace) and pulling a few select lines to add to my interpretation.
As time went by, and I wasn't pulled up on inserting others lines into my work, the input from articles continued to increase. To the point where it was more others work than my own. I would add a few select photos pulled from the Internet, rejig a few paragraphs, add a few comments of my own and just submit what I thought was interesting articles that people may have missed, and passed them as my own.
I made a conscious decision to try and share interesting articles that would be a good read. I didn't want to post #shitposts, and thought this was the best way to go about it. I understand I was wrong and would have been better just not blogging at all. When I did manage to get some time to myself, I would, and still do write original work, and I hope you guys enjoyed them.

So what do we do now.... Well that's not up to me is it?? I'll continue to post daily, here on hive,and set the daily payout to "DECLINE PAYOUT" or add a beneficiary of the choosing of @hivewatcher.
So there we have it... I didn't need to write this blog, I could have walked away, but "its a fair cop" and I hope that if I can show I've changed my ways, I can one day gain your trust back and be removed from their #blocked list
