I've been blogging for too many years...just get a bit annoyed about the cookbook nature of blogging. It's all so calculated and cold, it seems, all just fill-in-the-blank, and I see blogging as an art form quietly dying under one focus group or calculated post too many. Mumble. Just enjoy the humor, the backstory to this post is largely my own.
you forgot to timestamp incessantly
Ahh yes. I remember you so well Greek.
Brilliance.
Ha! Thanks, I needed a good laugh. Seriously. It's been a rough week.
Title should be something that is simultaneously misleading and shocking.
I'll have you know I've been a long standing member of the BEA. How dare you sir, how dare you.
Actually I was thinking, I've heard a lot of sermons that follow this format. Without the "eye candy" of course.

hahaha love this. what is a GIF? i could look it up, because i've wondered it often, but i imagine you could give me a better definition.
@GreekPhysique - that's why i mix it up and rarely ask other people's opinions. never a dull moment for meeeee
@winterEnds - yes! My god the incessant timestamping is annoying!
And you forgot my favorite! Sending a mass message to your friends and subscribers about how you wrote a masterpiece. EVEN THOUGH WE GET NOTIFIED.
It's easy as 1, 2, 3!
So THAT'S how you do it! And here I've just been putting up whatever I felt like saying. Can't believe I've been doing it wrong all along.
"Attack a group that no one could possibly be in favor of, such as Baby Eaters of America" hahaha this happens so often it's not even funny!
