The Grand National Championships

October 26, 2007

Seriously, I’m a perfectionist.

I’ll admit it. I am probably one of the laziest people you’ll ever meet, but I’m a perfectionist. I damned our initial burst of success when we lost 300-500 readers going into August. Which, in and of its own way was nobodys facult but AVG anti-virus. But I am one who wants everything to be right.

If it isn’t? Things start affecting me.

Why am I saying this then. Well, as De La Soul says, it ain’t all good.

And what’s bugging me is that I cannot say it with the nuance and deft tact that could allow me to name names and keep me doing things that I enjoy doing.

Suffice it to say, I’m really wishing yourblogblows.com didn’t last ten posts before deciding to fawn over a blogger or 31 posts overall. I need an outlet for passive-aggression.

Yeah. Suffice it to say that if you’re overrated, it’s a lot better than making with the lazy gimmicks without even a modicum, nay, a hint of effort. 

I understand that we are all sinners in the land of Blogfrica. But when you sin, you’ve got to bring more to the table. I mean, look at that post? It has a Panda on a slide. You can hate the list. You can hate us for subjecting you to it.

But Panda on a slide. It is enough for a smile. It is enough for an “awww…” It gives you what you need to start the day.

It’s just, what this man, this brother in Blogfrica is doing, it’s bringing the rest of us down. Okay. It’s just me. But I’m going on 300 words about this guy, so you have to appreciate the fact that I do feel very strongly about this.

Okay. That’s my piece. I may expound further, but the fact of the matter is the gimmick post is like a nice topping. With judicious use, it enhances the workmanship on the site. If you can bring nothing else to the table, you’ve got to do something else with your life.

There is no need for daily ten’s. This means you, E! network. You and your obsequious exclamation point.

(No Joel McHales were harmed in the making of this blog post. But damn my lack of nuance. This person deserves harm.)
