Blog: What the hell?!?

Me: I'm sorry? (Me frantically looking around convinced that I heard something but I don't immediately see anyone.) Is somebody talking to me?

Blog: It's me, your so called Blog. We used to have such a good thing going. What happened?

Me: (Not sure if I need to be having an out loud conversation with my Blog.) Um...I don't know. Just haven't been in the mood, I guess. And what should I call you? Would you prefer Beatsgriff or Beat or something?

Blog: Blog is fine. Seriously, you need to get your shit together.

Me: C'mon man, watch your language...this is kind of a family thing.

Blog: (In a mostly mocking tone) Oh I'm sorry, could you please post something soon? I really enjoy it when you use me as your forum to disseminate your daily happenings.

Me: Seriously, you need to watch your language. My Aunt Judy reads now and again and I don't want her tuning in to see words like "shit" and "disseminate". She's far too proper for that sort of thing.

Blog: (Now totally annoyed) Disseminate, you moron, means to scatter or spread. In this case to scatter or spread your now increasingly inane thoughts.

Me: Oh.

Blog: You've had so much happening lately and yet you haven't showed up at all. Not one post in the month of January with all that skiing and beer drinking and trips to Dallas and time off the bike. I really don't get you.

Me: C'mon just stop it now. You're starting to sound like the wifeage and she complains about too much attention on this thing. I promise to be better but I certainly don't want to be brow beat by the likes of you.

Blog: Well who do you like to get brow beat by and maybe we can get them engaged in this discussion.

Me: I don't think there is any call for that sort of intervention. I'll get cracking soon. Besides, I got a real interesting letter from my bike recently and I want to get that posted along with my response. And I need to report on Project Johnny 2.0 once that gets underway. But for now, just relax and enjoy your time off.

Blog: Talk is cheap and a dead blog is pretty lame. Get cracking monkey boy or I'll...

Me: You'll what?

Blog: I'll take this thing over and start making crap up like you have a Facebook page or something.

Me: I do have a Facebook page.

Blog: I knew it! You haven't touched me in months and don't really look at me the way you used to. What am I supposed to do...sit idly by while you have this wild interlude with your Facebook page? I've tried everything to keep your attention but, (now openly sobbing) I just can't stop time I guess.

Me: Oh stop! I'm committed to this thing and I'd be nowhere with out you. And besides, I don't really get the whole Facebook thing. I signed up initially because I wanted to e-mail a block of photos to some friends. And then it just blossomed from there and now I have like 20 friends or something. I can break it off if you want me to, but it's you that I love. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.

Blog: I think we should go to counseling. Perhaps a professional can get us to connect again.

Me: If it would make you feel better, I'd be open but seriously, I think we can get through this thing on our own.

Blog: (Still whimpering) I hope so.

Me: (Mostly under my breath) Gee whiz...who needs this crap?

You have a "MyFace" page? Man am I a late adapter - and proud of it. First there was your "Tanner" haircut while playing LL for Mr Scott, and then somewhere in there the Mongoose with Tufwheels thing,disco, big cowboy hats with feathers on the brim, line dancing, etc. And now facebook...looks like Wifeage just landed one in the "W" column.

You had a Mongoose with Tufwheels? Doesn't seem like that would have been your thing.

"Tanner" haircut...yes.
Mr. Scott as a coach...yes and deep knowledge.
Tuffwheels...yes.
Disco... sadly yes.
Cowboy hats...yes.
Line dancing...yes.
Facebook...I'm so 2000's (yes).
Mongoose...NO. It was a Univega that was damn near bulletproof.

Ahh yes, the univega. Looked like a Mongoose, twice as heavy, but bullet proof. My mistake.

I think Im remembering this right, but wasn't there also some of those royal blue Etonic running shoes with the orange swoosh-type thingy on the sides?

My partner and I absolutely love your blog and find nearly all of your post's to be what precisely I'm looking for.
Would you offer guest writers to write content for yourself?
I wouldn't mind writing a post or elaborating on a number of the subjects you write related to here. Again, awesome site!

I don't know if it's just me or if everybody else experiencing issues
with your site. It appears as if some of the text within your content are running
off the screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me
know if this is happening to them too? This might be a issue with my browser because I've had this happen before. Kudos

Gday! It looks as though we both have a interest for the same thing.

Your blog, "Blogger: GoFast or GoHome" and mine are very similar.
Have you ever thought about writing a guest article for a related website?
It will certainly help gain publicity to your website (my
site recieves a lot of traffic). If you are interested, e-mail me at: katherinewilson@gawab.

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the structure of your blog?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.

But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with
it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one
or two pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

I am wondering which blogging platform you're running? I'm new to running a blog and have been thinking about using the Ning
platform. Do you consider this is a good platform to
start with? I would be really thankful if I could ask you some questions through
e-mail so I can learn a bit more prior to getting started.

When you have some free time, please contact me at:

Heya just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you
know a few of the pictures aren't loading properly. I'm not sure why but I think its
a linking issue. I've tried it in two different browsers and both show the same outcome.

Hello there! This is my first comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and

Can you suggest any other blogs/websites/forums that deal with the same topics?
Many thanks!

Awesome blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?

A theme like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog jump
out. Please let me know where you got your theme.

My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from
PHP. I have always disliked the idea because
of the costs. But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on a variety of websites for
about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform.
I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net.

Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Do you mind if I quote a few of your articles as long as I
provide credit and sources back to your site? My blog site is in the very same niche as yours and my users would truly benefit from a
lot of the information you provide here. Please let me know if this okay
with you. Thanks!
