Today Tony writes to us about
how to blog. He jots down 30 ways to blog well. He says do it.
Thing is, for the most part, he does it. Taking your own advice is good. Taking your own advice is like owning your own opinions more than just saying them. Taking your own advice is gold and the more you can do it the more of a real actual individual person you become. Even if your advice is bad. If you actually think you give bad advice then maybe you should stop giving it, no?
Own that shit.
The problem with tony and all his points is that they're often black and white and nothing in this world is black.. or white. Sometimes people want to think so.. in fact, people want to think it's all ABOUT black and white and nothing else. I think they're missing the point. I think they're concentrating on the wrong things. Move along. Get a new pair of goofy sunglasses. Carry on. Stop whining. Get over it.
Just do whatever the hell you want to do and if you find yourself hesitating because you care what other people think then ask yourself:
is this me
And if the answer is yes.. no matter how much of an asshole thing it is that you're about to do.. if it's
really you, then hell.. at least you're not misrepresenting.
Misrepresenting is perhaps worse than the worst of sins. It's falsification.
Blarg.
Sure, write every day all day and link people and run around with your camera taking loads of pictures, no apologies, and audblog.. I guess. Thing is I'd be trying too hard if I audblog'd (i gots no phone) and that would be a misrepresentation which would eventually show itself cause I'd stop audblogging at some point cause the laze would catch up to me so fuck it.
No Aublogs here.
Maybe someday.
Tony also said to display your email address on your blog. This is something i've never done but alright, fine, I'll do it. okay, done, there you go. email me words of praise because, frankly, that's all I deserve.
The weather is beautiful here in southern Maine today. take that.
