This blog sucks
Well, sure. Over at Vman’s place he’s talking about general blog suckage. And he’s absolutely right. The vast majority of blogs are like giant Electrolux vacuum cleaners, atop which perch feral cats. They suck at one end, blow at the other, and bite in the middle.We can’t all be Mark Twain. Hell, we can’t even all be Walter Mitty. Maybe ten blogs I read are substantively worth reading every single day, the rest I read because they amuse me. Vman’s blog has always been a source of some amusement simply because of the twisted humor, the strange links, the bizzarre turn of phrase. THe stories are good, the nembutol-induced dreams better. Myself, I don’t have any illusions. I write for the two people who come here every day by mistake and hope I make them smile once in a while, but I figure I have five good posts here, and all five were accidental or driven by unbridled rage. I appreciate it every time someone clicks through to here, and I like it when people comment. It’s like having an open conversation with friends, which is why I immediately ban all assholes. You wouldn’t let those people in your living room, I don’t want ’em on my blog.
So, yeah, Vman. You are spot on as usual. Don’t mean I don’t enjoy the hell out of your blog. And Tommy has something to say to you:
“Guys ask me, don’t I get burned out? How can you get burned out doing something you love? I ask you, have you ever got tired of kissing a pretty girl? ” Tommy LaSorda
Touche, brother. That Tommy…
Vman, you rock on ice. Everyday.
I figure that one day I might learn to write.
Naawwwww…
Yep. I read that post this morning. One good thing about bloggin’ is that we put it out there and no one’s arm is twisted to make them read it. hell, if I was a good writer I would be sellin’ instead of puttin’ out for free. So would the rest who write on blogs. And, like you I may have a couple that were worth reading. But I doubt many people read them. But, if I post some crappy jokes or a cartoon I get a dozen people commenting–go figure.
I don’t think your blog sucks, Og.
MY blog sucks, but I have fun.
That’s damned nice of you, Jimmyb! And your blog IS fun, and doesn’t suck at all.
True – much of what one sees on personal blogs is laundry lists and toenail clippings, the onion peelings of unraveling personalities.
I consider it my soapbox; I can stand there and bitch about things, and sometimes someone actually talks back.
