So, You Want To Be A Blogger?

Here's a little blogging advice: don't. Your blog will take over your life. The beast has to be fed. Your achy-breaky heart can't tolerate the slightest decline in readership, so you must post! Today! And tomorrow! And the day after!

The garbage will start piling up in the kitchen because you don't have time to put it out. Look, you're blogging. Your spouse is mad at you because you're blogging and you're not doing your share around the house. By the time you've got 200 regular readers, you're headed for divorce. You're also about to lose your job, because you're always late to work stopping to snap those all important photos for your blog. That's the reason you're always late getting home too. The only one that's happy to see you when you're late is the dog.

Then there's the twitter notices to make sure your readers know about your new posts and you're attracting new readers. There are the spreadsheets to update, to track your pageviews, and how fast your blog is growing. You're obsessed.

Listen to me now, before it's too late.  Blogging will destroy your life. How do I do it? I would tell you, but now it's time for my medications.

Never Say Yes, A Poem by M.W. Thomas

Jim Plunkett of Ewell’s Landing, Missouri said “Yes”
And ended up poling a piano across the lake on a homemade raft
To his brother’s cabin
When the raft and the piano sunk to the bottom
And he spit and gurgled and swore in a language Missourians know well
Then all he could think was “Oh, no!”

Miss Lulu Simon of National City, California said “Yes”
To a sailor at the Acey-Deucy Club after two Miller Lites, an umbrella drink,
And a shot of Cuervo
After a bouncy romp in the back seat of a ’72 Camaro with loose shocks
He broke her poor little drunk heart into five way-too-easy-pieces
And all she could think was “Oh, no!”

Let me explain you something:  Say “No” to “Yes”

Por ejemplo, Raul Montegon of San Juan, Puerto Rico said “Yes”
He would rid the city of all its feral cats (for a fee and a throw with an exclusive puta)
But the cats were smarter than Raul
And they ambushed him at the Castillo de San Cristobal with medical instruments
They extracted his eyeballs, cut out his tongue, and amputated his thumbs
And all Raul could say was “Oh, bo!”

Yusif and Hammad of St. Paul, Minnesota said “Yes”
And that is how they started campaigning door to door for Hubert Humphrey
(Remember Hubert Humphrey?)
One particular Sunday was their best ever afternoon of Persuasion
Hammad said “Praise Jesus!” Yusif praised Allah
And they punched each other in the face and mailed all the checks to Reverend Moon(Oh no!)

Busbee Irwin of Brisbane, Australia said “Yes”
And commenced to kickboxing with a kangaroo and he played defense
Well at first
And almost rope-a-doped a roo until he found
A kangaroo has a third foot tucked under his tail, a fourth
That pops out of his right eye, a fifth out of his left
And has a Bruce Lee fist for a tongue… Oh, no!

Donna May of Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania finally said “Yes”
And agreed to change into her gym clothes with all the other girls
In the change room
They all said, “Eww!” and began picking off the scabs that covered her whole body
Until the pus ran out of her and her body shrank to the size of a dried pea and ran down the shower drain
And when the plumber arrived all he could say was “Oh, no!”


Yes-People you’re going down
You know that “No means no”
But “Yes” does not mean “No”
And that is a problem.

Jim Watkinson of Ketchikan, Alaska said “Yes”
And leaped from the dock of the salmon processing plant
Into the inner passage
And though it was July, it was a scrotum-shrinking swim
An otter floated by and thinking Jim was after his clams beat him with his feet
Until Jim thought he would drown, but his friends pulled him out and paid him his five dollars.


His sister posted the video on YouTube.

Tom Brady noticed he was getting poor gas mileage, so he took his car to the mechanic. It turned out his tires were under-inflated.
