My blog sucks and yours doesn't! HAHA

The previous post? Is what happens when I start to take myself seriously.

I was reading through the recent posts and I started comparing my blog to other people's blogs and I was like "Oh my God, I'm calling people dicks and they're talking about saving the world, one soul at a time" I am NOT WORTHY. I SUCK."

After thinking about it all night, (as ashamed as I am to admit that I thought about my blog. All night long.) I realised that I'M TOTALLY OK WITH SUCKING! And? I'm even more ok with being juvenile.. I am not a professional writer, I do not get paid to do this, I do not do this to win awards (but really, would it hurt you people too bad to nominate me for SOMETHING? ANYTHING?) I do it because I enjoy it. Because I love the interaction with people, the comments you people leave, which almost always make me laugh really hard, the emails you send when I'm having a bad day. I do it because it's awesome to have a little space to vent and to have people who you don't even know understand where you're coming from.

So, my blog sucks. My writing isn't that great. There are 939482983 blogs out there that are much better than mine. Big deal. Who cares? NOT ME! I'm over it.

Ok, everybody loves your blog because it's YOU...your personality, your life, etc...It doesn't suck, because it's real. You know those people who blog about saving the world, cha...whatever. How many of them are out doing something about it on a day by day basis? I guess what it comes down to is WHY you blog. Do you do it for you, or do you do it for those who read it? Do it for you, or don't do it. Who needs the shit that goes along with trying to impress the masses?

Mine sucks too, but I don't care! I embrace my suckiness and love it! hehe

whatever, dick.

hey, i 'r' a writer, and i still don't take myself seriously half the time. and my blog most definitely sucks. but that's okay. i do it for me, a place to be silly, a place to suck a little bit. gotta do it somewhere.

i like it here because you're not afraid to be you. and because of that i met you and like you and you make me laugh. and you give great hugs that squish our boobies together. isn't that what life is really all about?

I love it when you talk dirty! Dick!

There are also 939482983 that suck more than yours so I wouldn't be too bothered by it. lol It's a blog- supposed to be for you anyway. Who gives a shit if all you write about are other people being dicks- especially when they WERE being dicks? You worry too much about what other people think. You are a good writer- look at how many people comment on your posts on a daily basis. You have a good following- they wouldn't be reading if they thought you sucked. So chin up and write about whateverthehell you want to write about and don't give a second thought as to what other people are going to think of the post. When you start doing that, you lose orginality and the personal feel that this blog has. Your writing is a part of you- the part that a lot of people obviously like or they still wouldn't be coming back for more, right?

It's just a journal after all- not a writing or popularity contest. And you do a good enough job at it.

Hey! mine sucketh waaaaaaaay more then you could ever hope to sucketh!

(is it me, or did that sound vaguely dirty? *L*)

You're you, and that's what makes this place special and keeps all of us coming back.

I usually lurk, but I have to say:

If it looks like a dick and acts like a dick...

Your original post about this summed up my own feelings quite nicely. I think you rock.

Posted by: Jenny at November 22, 2004 06:30 PM

Your blog doesn't suck! Why do you thing all of us visit here every DAY to see what you are up to?

I love the way you write, and I'm an English teacher. So, from a professional standpoint: Your blog rocks.

See, now you have actual verification from a licensed language professional. Does that count as an award? If so, I bestow it upon you!

Posted by: ginger at November 22, 2004 06:57 PM

i read yours blog just because you call people dicks. if you stopped doing that, i would be extremely disappointed.

Posted by: geeky at November 22, 2004 07:09 PM

I love reading about your highs and lows, its real. Your blog doesn't suck! Now my blog sucks major balls, and I don't care! I blog because I enjoy it.

You keep doing what you're doing!

Posted by: Laurie at November 22, 2004 07:18 PM

I call dicks dicks on my blog.

*nods*

In fact, I think I will try to find someone to skewer today.

Posted by: Rori at November 22, 2004 07:37 PM

For what it's worth, I think your blog is great. You help me to procrastinate things I really should be doing and always give me a chuckle. And you have great pictures!

Posted by: Chelle at November 22, 2004 07:50 PM

What they said. I start to feel the same ways about my blog, but feck it. Amateur blogging compared to professional or even "meaningful" (whatever that means) writing is like karaoke compared to professional singing. I love watching people sing at karaoke bars whether they can carry a tune or not because it's all in fun and we've all heard the songs before... and don't forget the fun of witnessing drunk karaoke/drunk blogging :p

glad you're over it because duh. we like what you write, pecker head.

Posted by: Sara at November 22, 2004 08:05 PM

Im thinkin' that if sucked that bad, your site meter wouldn't be registering the number it's registering at the bottom of this page. I mean, even if your blog was up for the past 3 years, that's about 500 hits a day.

Posted by: Vickie at November 22, 2004 08:29 PM

You're great the way you are, cheap posed sexy pictures and all!!

PS. When I got home, your package was waiting, YAh! thanks a bunch.

Posted by: Robyn at November 22, 2004 09:07 PM

I NOMINATED YOU!!!!!!!!! BEST OVERALL BLOG @

Posted by: Amber at November 22, 2004 10:34 PM

I have always thought the true measure of a blog was that it was important, worthy and "good" to the person writing it. You are 110% correct, its your place to rant and rave (and to show off that adorable bebe ;) ) Glad to see you did not get permanantly sucked into thinking anything else :)

Posted by: Lucky at November 22, 2004 11:09 PM

what does juviniele mean?

Posted by: erin at November 22, 2004 11:18 PM

hahahha it means nothing because it's not a word....
JUVINILE ON THE OTHER HAND...

Lord, now I want to correct it, but I won't because it will make YOU look bad and not ME and I should be the one to look bad since I can't even spell

Posted by: y at November 22, 2004 11:29 PM

so I'm not winning any Bloggies or awards over at Wizbang. who the fuck cares, you know? I don't write for anyone but myself.

Posted by: girl at November 22, 2004 11:39 PM

over 500K hits can't be wrong.

so you don't suck or blow.

now, my 4 comment blog..that's a different story.

Posted by: djmofo at November 23, 2004 12:25 AM

I like your blog and I don't think it sucks! Wooo hoooo.

Posted by: shy me at November 23, 2004 12:57 AM

Your blog could suck the biggest dick imaginable, and i'd still read you, cause I

YAY! DICKS!

isn't it juvenile?

Posted by: Stacey at November 23, 2004 01:35 AM

........

Dicks?

Posted by: Stacey at November 23, 2004 01:36 AM

Not sucking!

Posted by: raven at November 23, 2004 03:22 AM

fucky sucky five dollah?

Posted by: becky at November 23, 2004 05:00 AM

I'm too lazy to repeat all the other comments, so I'm probably going to repeat what ouve already heard. I don't think you're boring at all.. your site is in my top three mustreadorI'llfreakthefuckout, and even though my opinion doesn't mean shit, I LOVE reading you.

Posted by: Shylah at November 23, 2004 05:03 AM

yvonne, i'm the 30th comment. get it? get it? people keep coming back here 'cause you're real and make us laugh and tear up and we can't get enough of the chubby boss of you either. *hugs*

Posted by: kim at November 23, 2004 09:18 AM

judging by the number of comments, I'm thinking that you don't suck (much). ;)

Posted by: girl at November 23, 2004 11:39 AM

Don't worry about it. You had fun writing it; we had fun reading it. I'm not sure how much intelligent stuff one could say about that whole event anyways. It turns my stomach when I see recaps of it.

There are a billion blogs worse than yours. Here's something I wrote long before you found mine that recaps some of the major groups of suckiness: http://snobby-n-unemployed.blogspot.com/2004/10/lollygaggery.htm

Posted by: N at November 23, 2004 01:20 PM

You DO suck....but Tony likes it!

Posted by: robynf at November 23, 2004 02:38 PM

Dude...you need to start the "Dick of the Day"!!!

I mean, c'mon...think of all the possible applications.

Just please promise me Kerry will be the first Dick of the Day? (No reason in particular, for that.)

Posted by: Tracy at November 23, 2004 04:32 PM

*grabs Blog Whore Award and hides it*

You suck?

Where did I miss that announcement?

Matter of fact the line I guess starts right here...after your hubby of course.

About Y
My name is Y, but you can call me "Jesse's girl." I am an Aerobic Dancer and have mastered many moves, but the one I am the most proud of is "The Monkey." I have three kids. ALL FROM THE SAME DAD (Because, did you know someone actually asked me that question?) A 15 year old son, a 11 year old son and a 4 year old daughter who was not planned but who is loved more than words could ever express. I am addicted to Starbucks, reality TV and to getting really good deals through coupons and "club member" savings (Please, respect The Costco Card.) I am extremely competive and if you don't believe me, just ask my husband about the time I sold him out to win a game of Taboo. If you're waiting for the part where I speak of my love for walks on the beach or slow dancing in the rain, you're going to be disappointed because my idea of a good time usually involves things like "burping contests" and "doing The Worm".
