Hrmph

I'm feeling very non-writerly right now and I'm not sure why.

I see sites like Violent Acres and I wonder which is worse: The people they pick on or how they pick on them.

I then read a site like Trainwrecks and am curious as to how long this lineage of pseudo-importance blog culture has been developing.

In the many years that blogging has been upon us, many of them have written books, gone onto speaking engagements, and so on.

I personally have gotten legal threats and interesting emails and great contacts as a result of blogging. I've always been a proponent of it.

However, this whole week I've been sick and felt terrible. I went home early on Monday and have dragged ass all week.

Ugh. I need some chicken soup or something.

The family update returns with a vengence tomorrow.

It's the first thing
I see when I wake

Nice. Ditto on that Violent Acres kudos. Loved the Tucker Max dig. It's pretty much right on. I like Dooce tho and those digs aren't that funny... except that little kid with a hand full of Ann Coulter.

There is a blog I visit often that has a qoute on the main page:
"When people ask me if these stories are true, I prefer to say that they are true enough."

On a side note: I know you've recently moved to GoDaddy. They actually offer Word Press there. I didn't realize it or else I would have started with it instead of blogger. I'm in the process of setting up a new blog.
