Abstract Utopia - I am a Desert.

Popularity Contest

When I was in school, everything was a popularity contest. I though that on the web, there wouldn't be such things. I know, I know, it was naive and foolish. I know I don't have the most popular blog in the world. I know I don't even have a quarter of the readership that the other blogs I was up against had. I knew I was going to lose.

There is only one thing that truly and completely pisses me off about the whole thing (aside form the fact that I don't think any of the judges actually read my page...):

I lost to a mommy blogger with a broken template. Bah! She probably got brownie points for bitching about pushing a child out of her womb. How she did it wasn't even Sarcastic or witty. You know what, I have a womb! You don't see writing about the goings on within it. My mother had a womb and even pushed me out of it. Lots of people have wombs and babies are born everyday from them. But, how, how does writing about having a child make you a Sarcastic Journalist? The old posts on the blog were pretty good and I have no problem losing to a blog like that, but the recent evolution of the blog makes me cringe.

I thought the judging was going to be impartial and based on content and looks and everything. I think, in the end, like all other things, it was only based on popularity. Why even bother putting my in the same category as those other blogs if it was going to be based on that? I thought the BoBs were supposed to ncrease your readership? Well, my hits are about the same as when I started. Perhaps I ought to stop bitching.

I am black sheep ... hear me BAH!

Hey BoBs, this finger's for you! (That's Galileo's middle finger in case you're wondering. No living middle finger for you, only the dried, rotting flesh of a 'heretic'.)

To the sites that won, congrats! I have nothing against any of you, you're all wonderful and hard working. Even you mommy bloggers. (Okay, maybe not the blogs of mommy bloggers, I still hate them with the fires of a thousand suns.)

Your blog has more content and wit. Mommy bloggers suck....(well at least I don't talk about my womb.)And that finger is funny as hell.

I was nominated for a BOB last year. I'm not really an mp3 blog though I occassionally share music on my site and I'm always willing to upload a track for anyone that asks. But it's all about the same people every year. I don't even want to be a part of that. I like the people that visit me.

See...maybe you need to write more about your womb. Okay, if nothing's going on with your womb...it's still there. And maybe it's jealous of your liver, which, say, you're slowly poisoning (just a guess). Generally, the only organ I let write on my blog is my spleen, but I might starting adding others someday.
