chapter 43: connected

twinsix

I totally stress out links. The truth is that I click on my own links because those are the blogs that I enjoy reading. Now there are always a couple I keep in my favorites, but in reality the links I list are the one’s I read. Every now and then I change these up, and I add some new, and take down some old. If someone doesn’t update often I usually pull them down. This is not because I don’t like them, but because every time I excitedly click on their link I am disappointed to see the same old entry. Not that it’s not good, just that after seeing it 25 times, it’s a little disappointing. It doesn’t make the owner a bad person, just an infrequent blogger. That’s okay, I get it.

Now some blogs I remove because there was a time that I was into them, and now I am no longer into them. It doesn’t mean the bloggers are bad people or I don’t love them, it just that I’m tired of reading about bling bling or mile by mile accounts of a 70 mile base ride on a warm sunny day. My favorite break up line works here, “it’s not that I don’t love you, but I’m not in love with you” Blogs, like the movies I choose to see have to one of three things to hook me.

One: be totally unrealistic that it takes me away from my normal world for few hours

Two: be a story that some how I can relate to experiences in my life

Three: be a stupid comedy that makes me shoot milk out my nose

Now if the blog has worse grammar and spelling than me, that’s certainly a bonus. (why I like Ted Logics)

I totally get it if someone got tired of reading about a fatdude, old, never was, trying to be a bike racer. I get that, I know you don’t hate me, but maybe you’re tired of my routine, and you don’t want me on your frequently read list. I don’t take it personal. But believe me I totally stress out the links thing. Hopefully I won’t have to mess with again anytime soon. Hopefully I haven’t offened anyone.

BTW went to 6 paupers tonight with E-town, Megan, Monkey, Wes the Conqueror, and FFA. Dinner was solid, not fantastic; however dessert was over the top. I had apple pie cheesecake. It was to die for.

Tonight is the DCCoD/SPOT gig. We have some folks coming in from out of town. That should be awesome. Looking forward to more death uno.
