You know how I’m participating in this Nablopomo thing, right? Where we agree to post at least once a day for the month of November? Well, so far, so good, I’ve been able to find something to write about every day. Well, I realize it’s only been like 5 days, but still, I’m at 100% and that’s worth noting, yes?
Anyway.
I decided the other night that in addition to writing everyday, I would try to visit as many of the other participant’s blogs as I could. There are a LOT of them, you can see a full list of the participants here, I’m guessing there are over 300 1100. And because everyone likes comments, I would comment on any blog that I found that remotely entertained me.
I have visited approximately 60 sites so far and I have only commented on four. Four out of SIXTY had something remotely interesting posted.
I’ve never claimed to have the most compelling things on earth to say. I do try to write for an audience, though, and try to keep in mind that no one cares what I had for lunch today.
That being said, I have something to say to the other 54 sites I’ve seen so far…
- We get it, your kids are cute. However, stop telling us about their adventures in poop, spit-up, and staring aimlessly at the cat. I’m here to be entertained, so unless your kid is pooping on the cat who is wearing a onesie and licking at the spit-up stain on the floor, I don’t want to read about it.
- No. More. Messy-eating-smeared-face-ain’t-I-adorable pictures of your 6 month old. This is only a good picture if the subject is your 30 year old husband. IF he’s hot.
- Seriously, no one cares what you had for lunch today. Unless it was at a filming of Fear Factor.
- Your code names suck. I read more than one blog that needed a CIA cipher team to explain what the fuck was going on. “X and I went to EC’s party. J was there with that skank P who used to date G and the other J. I told her she was a B for showing up. She flipped her hair and told J that I was worse than H.” I say F.U. When I use code names, they are at least easy to follow, and you need only go back one or two posts to get the context. The exception being UMB, and you’ll notice that if you put your cursor over the letters, you get a pop up description of who he is. I really only use it now because it’s easier to type than Michael.
- “I’m too busy to post today” is a lame fucking post. You suck. You weren’t too busy to log in to your blog account and write that enlightening sentence. You could have at least said, “I am too busy masturbating to old episodes of Dirty Jobs to write anything interesting today” so we can laugh and point at you.
- If your life is boring, and you know it, make something up. Prattling on about how you have no life, no friends, no one reads your blog, and you just don’t have anything to say makes me want to shake you and say, then STOP TALKING.
I’m sure that as I continue in my quest to hit as many of these blogs as possible I will find more things to rant about… and don’t think for a moment that I’m not thinking back through my posts and wondering if I’ve been guilty of any of these posts. *shrug* If so, I guess that’s my prerogative to be a hypocrite. Sue me.
The author over at pinkelephant.org has written a pretty cool script that will send you to a random NaBloPoMo participant, so if you wanna try surfing some of these blogs yourself, give it a click.
