I'm Impressed

Did you know there’s a blogger out there, a Mom Blogger at that, that writes a new blog every day and has done so for ages? I’m not talking about the weaker Nablopomo two short paragraphs and maybe a picture blogs but seriously lengthy blogs. I’ve seen longer of course, but the fact that this is a consistant thing and not a random lengthy post followed by a ton of short ones (like mine, I guess) is very impressive to me.

What really impresses me though is that she writes a MOM BLOG and still manages to write that much! I mean, I think I can rant pretty well. I used to rant and complain all the time on MySpace and I think the reason I scaled back on the length is that by the end of the blog I would have contradicted myself, marked myself as a hypocrite and therefore not worth reading and what started as venting left me feeling even more frustrated because I realized that I was wrong to feel frustrated in the first place. I’m pretty sure that’s why my blogs became shorter and shorter. It just made sense really.

By all means I am not saying that I am fine with letting emotions go and stop at a specific point without exploring them to their finality but I started to think that maybe I should do that BEFORE ranting on the internet, which I am convinced is a bad idea in the long run.

Famous Russ Tangent: A girl was given the boot from the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader Squad for having pictures of a… I wouldn’t entirely call them sexual persuasion, but they were of her in her bikini or underwear or whatnot. The pictures looked very high school / college “not a care or aspiration in the world.” I found it interesting though that these pictures came back to haunt her this way. One day she’s doing fine in the training camp for the most famous cheerleading squad in the world, the next thing she knows she’s being dragged into an office to be told that she is OUT because of these pictures. They were saying that the DCC is not an organization that smiles upon pictures like this, that they are as professional as professional can be.

I was fine with this. I loved seeing a situation that you always know is going on with bikini contests, Girls Gone Wild, etc. etc. that is looked at as fine, acceptable, just kids being kids. I loved seeing this situation have repercussions. Take THAT! Ha ha!

Now back to my being impressed.

I’d like to write longer blogs that are more thought-out and a little more involved, but this means less blogs and less… spontaneity of writing. My usual blog style back pre-child was “Oh man, that doesn’t sit well with me at all! I’ll be right back!” And then I’ll go to the computer room, knock out a blog and come back to the living room. Now that just doesn’t happen.

But do you really mind? I hope not. I hope you’re fine with reading my tiny (by comparison) blogs about random stuff with a few jewels of blogs tucked in there somewhere.

So this is basically me saying I’m sorry for not being able to write lengthy, engaging blogs that entertain to no end and bring THOUSANDS of people per day to check it out. I’m doing my best though. And if you dig it, come back often, tell your friends, make them come and check it out, click click click on the ads (the money it generates is very much appreciated and I have not gotten to the point where Google sends me a check and it’s almost W2 season. I’d hate to have to pay taxes on money I haven’t even received yet).

But yeah, come back often. I love the company.
