My blog sucks. I mean, it really really sucks. I have one reader, although I'm sure a few friends are lurkers, hoping to read me bashing them again. Might happen, might not. Either way, I've been doing a lot of blog reading, and finding many that are much more entertaining... Even some that are making money for their writers!! Hell, I'd like to be one of them.
First, I'd like to formally commit myself to less blogs about how crappy my real life is. That's probably the first place to start. We all know that a 26 year old living with friends who does nothing but work cannot possibly have that crappy(or great) a life. In fact, I'm sure my life would be considered mediocre at best. Average, possibly. Bad things happen to everyone. I need to get over it and move on.
Second, I'm also going to write less blogs about my pets. I have a few, I've had more than a few throughout my life, but I'm sure that no one really cares about them. Other than me of course. And my family.
Third... Well I need to figure out something to be number 3, and something important. Possibly a topic or direction to go with my blog. This was meant to get me writing more, but all I did was use it exactly as I would a journal... Write in it now and then, and forget about it the rest of the time.
I'd like to have more followers. A dozen would be nice... Hell, I'd be happy with 2!! I'm going to leave the crappy old posts and just move forward. Perhaps I will make some sort of plan, what I'll post on what days. Looking for 2 or 3 posts a week. Hopefully.
Finally, I'm going to close this awesomely short post with this... Hyperbole and a Half. It's a blog. It frigging rocks. Hillarious.... I enjoyed reading it so much that when I had caught up, I was sad. Like, throw myself off a building type sad.
Anyway, a link to the amazingness that is Allie's Hyperbole and a Half... and if she reads this, I hope she's flattered, and not at all creeped out, cuz one day I would like to kidnap her and store her in my closet for my amusement pleasure.
I admire your optimism on eventually getting two readers, but in the end I think you are right. You should stop blogging. It is crap (although I was briefly interested in the adventures of the mentally handicapped ferret).
