Annoyed
 

Welcome to Jestertunes! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Feel free to leave a comment, read through the archives, and enjoy yourself. See you again real soon!

Miss Britt emailed me today wondering if I had died since there hasn’t been a post here in 5 days.

Obviously I’m not dead.

My response was basically that I’ve been entertaining Hilly and Karl this weekend. Plus, I’ve reached a level of annoyance with the general blog-o-sphere that makes it kinda hard to care right now.

It’s nothing major, really, and I’m sure it’s just me, but I’m in the sort of mood where I think every blog I read is shitty, boring, offensive, stupid or ridiculous.

Yes, even yours.

See. I’m just in that mood. So don’t take this personally, even if it is directed at you:

Things that are annoying Jester about the Blog-o-sphere lately:

  • Pro-BlogHer posts
  • Anti-BlogHer posts
  • Posts about how fucking hot it is
  • 5000 word rambling posts that go no where
  • Posts that thinly veil a beg for money
  • Posts that overtly direct you to give money to those thinly veiling their begs for money
  • People who have heretofore shown absolutely no moral restraint suddenly acting as though they are up for sainthood
  • Hypocrites who seem to have all received blows to the head rendering them amnesiastic
  • Posts about real or perceived mental illnesses
  • Posts about open secrets in coy language and innuendo
  • TequilaCon, JesterCon, BrittCon, JesterPoo 1 & 2, Dave-Anything recap posts
  • Posts consisting of nothing but pictures of hot guys
  • Posts from “retired” bloggers
  • Lists of annoyances

Did I leave anything out? Anyone have a suggestion as to what I can do to get out of this mindset?

Give me money? Becoming a generous spirit might make you change your attitude on blogging!

Dave2s last blog post..SoCal

You left me out, damn you! Here’s what needs to be added:

“Posts about dying and leaving your children behind.”
“Posts about being annoyed with your muse.”
“Posts bitching about writing something for a contest that is entirely voluntary.”

I think that covers it. *dusts off hands*

Um, I don’t see anything on that list about food.

How do you feel about Eggplant?

(By the way, I have PayPal now. FYI.)

You forgot about blog posts which promote internet radio shows…

My blog has had none of that stuff on it. In fact I haven’t had much to say at all in the past few days. I think I’m a little burnt out on some of the same stuff that you are. I sort of wish you had linked to some of the stuff that’s annoying you though because I enjoy being nosy.

When experiencing doldrums such as these, a couple of shots of Jaëgermeister might be in order.

Or you could just have sex.

Or both.

Or ice cream?

You didn’t mention any posts referring to scooters, so that means I’m safe. Either that, or this is my first time commenting on your blog and I get the noobie pass.

I canNOT even tell you how relieved I am to see that “pictures of bleeding feet” did NOT make the list of annoyances.

Shit.

You’re going to add that now, aren’t you? :)

(and PS did I tell you how much I loved meeting you? because I SO DID)

Linky “name dropping” posts. Yeah, those are bugging the shit out of me lately.

Oh and, duh….which one of those am I? Because I feel sort of guilt free right now. Of course, just “sorta” ;)

Dave2 - I am always a generous spirit. I’ve been especially generous the past couple of weeks. But who’s keeping score?

Winter - Are you *sure* I left you out? Are you positive that none of those points may have pertained to you? If will make you feel better, consider your list added.

Miss Britt - Eggplant IS annoying. Thanks for reminding me. Should I paypal you for that stunningly complex recipe?

Shiny - Even more annoying are posts that DON’T promote internet radio shows. And posts that promote Boring AS FUCK TRAINWRECK internet radio shows.

Jen - You didn’t make the list because I don’t know you. I’m sure I will find something annoying on your blog when I check it out later today. I’m fairly certain that by following some links in this comment section, you’ll be more than well-versed on who is annoying me. Welcome, by the way!

Mike - How about ice cream covered in Jaeger DURING sex?

MartyMankins - Well, you would have gotten a pass, but now you’ve used the word “noobie” and therefore have officially annoyed me. Congrats!

aka_monty - Welcome to the list. It was only mildly annoying meeting you this weekend. A highlight of the clucking hen-fest!

Hilly - I don’t know what you are referring to. Avitable, Miss Britt, Karl, Winterheart, and Winterheart would never do that.

Well now I’m annoyed because I’ve posted here before. But thanks for the belated welcome. *sob*

Just wait until you’re off your period and you should be fine.

You forgot to mention any post that reminds us that Estelle Getty is dead. Oh and those never ending vacation recaps with pictures of people you don’t know are pretty boring as well.

Chriss last blog post..We waited 2 hours for this?

Chris wrote on July 22nd, 2008 at 2:23 pm

 
 

Jen - You’re right, it’s annoying when people don’t acknowledge the first comment you make.

Avitable - Can I borrow a tampon? I promise to return it in not-quite-new condition…

Chris - RIP Sophia. So when I come to visit you I should leave my Cancun slides at home?

jester wrote on July 22nd, 2008 at 2:30 pm

 
 

re: now annoyed me… FUCK. And I tried so hard. Dammit!

Will try again next post.

Crap. I was annoyed when I started reading this but now I’m super annoyed. Only one person gave a suggestion of how to get out of this mood. What’s up with that?

martymankins - Good luck!

Dagny - My commentors are annoying, what can I say?

jester wrote on July 22nd, 2008 at 2:54 pm

 
 

Let’s see…I’m sure I fit into one of those categories, but you know, I’m ok with that. Because it means you give a shit about my blog, or you wouldn’t go there to be annoyed by it!! YAY!!

The only BlogHer recap post I really enjoyed was Karl’s. Love them all, but that was the best.

And personally, I think we need more blog posts about anal growths. How ya feeling, by the way? :)

I’m getting a visit from Jester? Are you bringing UMB too? Wow, now I’m less annoyed…

Chris wrote on July 22nd, 2008 at 3:30 pm

 
 

How about posts about having your blog hacked? Does that annoy you?

As for what to do about your annoyedness? Take 1 Cymbalta and 2 Xanaxes and call me in the morning.

TSM - I’m feeling fine. Once UMB lanced Jupiter I was instantly better. I have photos of Jupiter if you really want to see.

Brandon - Do you need a fucking hanky? I’m annoyed by sarcastic crying sounds.

Hilly - I’m annoyed that you have posted three comments here about just how annoyed you are. Try for four?

Chris - Yes, you’ll get a visit from us, but we won’t give you a happy ending. How’s that help your annoyance level?

Shelli - I’m especially annoyed about the rash of “hacked blogs” around here. Thanks for bringing that up.

Chris - I’ll steer clear.

jester wrote on July 22nd, 2008 at 5:03 pm

 
 

You forgot to mention being annoyed at blogs that automatically email you the comments after you leave your first comment. Oh, and what about bloggers that post a bunch of pictures of their kid.

Brandon - You know what’s annoying? People who complain about getting email comments instead of unchecking the box on the comment form… and don’t get me started on how annoying posts about kids and pictures of them are…

Iron Fist - I was going to write a bulleted list why you’re wrong, but I got annoyed and quit.

Winter - Dave isn’t annoyed. Linky is better than no linky. Both are annoying. How’s that?

Heh, can I just say how MANY comments you suddenly have? That should bring you out of your pissiness right there!

Karl wrote on July 22nd, 2008 at 8:00 pm

 
 

Well Jester, then I guess that would include me because I wrote about being Anti BlogHer and a PR Guy that jerked me around. After that a lot of bloggers decided to help me out by kindly offering donations because I was laid off from my job and I have to go to court with Unemployment to collect. I have no income and a ton of bills.

To Winter - that would be ME who is posting about dying and leaving my children behind. That’s the reality of my situation. Of course I’m getting used to the idiots who think this is all a great big scam. God, I must be good.

So sorry if I’m an annoyance.

Lisa wrote on July 22nd, 2008 at 8:23 pm

 
 

Lisa - I was talking about MYSELF. On my blog today is a post about how my co worker woke up on Sat to find her husband dead and how I’m afraid of leaving my child behind if something happens to me. I know about your situation through other bloggers and my heart goes out to you. However, the reality is, if you die, your children still have a father and family. If I die, my child has no one. THAT is what I blogged about. I’m sorry if you felt I was poking at you with my comment, but I was poking at myself, teasing Jester that he had left me out. All the things I mentioned that he had left off his list are things I blogged about recently. I don’t care if he pokes fun of me. He’s my friend, and I know he doesn’t mean anything he says to me in a mean way.

Winter, sorry I took it the wrong way. I’ve been getting a lot of hate mail lately about how I’m faking cancer and how I’m a scam artist. Guess I’m on high alert and very touchy. Not to mention completely stressed. I’m just sick of everyone taking a jab at me every chance they get. I’m to the point where I’m ready to stop blogging.

Lisa wrote on July 22nd, 2008 at 8:35 pm

 
 

Enough already! Just post the links to the blogs with the posts of pics of nothing but hot guys! Wow, what a mouthfull (no pun intended). Need I remind you about those that don’t have a blog? I know that annoys the shit out you. What about sex with men who have a penis almost identical to yours? I remember some annoyance there. Or the person who is more concerned with the chance that they could run the sirens in your truck than they are with the fact that you’re about to choke to death? Then there was a lady who annoyed the hell out of ME while trying to flick my ear from the booth behind me at the restaurant while the two I was sitting across from in the booth silently watched in aww. Wait, sorry, we’re talking about your annoyances. My bad.

Finn - I don’t think my computer has an “off” button. Does it?

Karl - You would think.

Lisa - Seems as though your annoyance should be taking things personal that may not have had anything to do with you at all. It totally counts.

Winter - I’m annoyed that you so easily understand where I’m coming from.

Karl - I’m totally adding the iPhone have’s and have-not’s to the list. Sadly I’m still a have-not. That’s annoying.

Lisa - Perhaps you’re perceiving jabs where none exist.

Toby - You left out ten years of thinking that someone who means a lot to me hated me with the fire of a thousand suns… That was really annoying.

Special K - I’m annoyed that I have no idea what “posts gallbladders named troy” means. Fuck! Special brownies, or just plain old chocolate? I don’t do chocolate.

Stephanie - I’m also a fan of “forthwith.”

heather - I didn’t realize we were sharing emotion levels. Can you please send a little less hormonal bitching my way? I could use a break.

Charlene - Well aren’t you just the sweetest most annoying one of all? Coming in here all sunshiny and shit! Can’t you tell I’m in a mood?! Honestly!

Dickie Maxx - I don’t see you standing up for YOUR self mister. But that’s ok. I know your boyfriend keeps your balls in the sock drawer next to the giant dildo he uses when he wants some REAL satisfaction.

Othurme - It might not be THIS post that does that. Stay tuned.

Wow, maybe I need to start reading you. Fun place over here!

I’m relieved that “posts by women old enough to be my mother about fantasies of masturbating with my hair” didn’t make the list.

SJ wrote on July 23rd, 2008 at 8:08 am

 
 

LMAO. I’ve read your list of annoyances over twice and I can say with certainty that I don’t fit into any of those categories so you might want to check my blog out.

LMAO.
