10 posts deep and a hundred blogs scanned, the off putting patterns of public posting are piling up. So here are my current 5 don't-give-a-damn-ments and 5 can't-stand-ments of blogging.
I don't give a damn about...
1. Your kids,
2. Your personal relationship with a fictional character or your enlightened perspectives on spirituality,
3. Your gastronomical adventures,
4. The trivialities of your day or
5. Any post longer than the window I'm reading it in.
I can't stand...
1. "Faux"fanity (Swearing should be avoided, but if you have to then just fucking do it),
2. Amateur sociological theories (don't tell me what "people" are like. What are YOU like?),
3. Unfocused ramblings,
4. Gossip, political intrigue, contempt mongering one-up-man-ship or just plain ad nauseam bitching or
5. ...Having found 2-4 of these mistakes on my own blog. So,
Dear internet,
I'll make you a deal. I'll constantly seek perfection in attractively and disarmingly packaging snack size servings of self reflection, if you'll give me just one interestingly intimate blog to follow.
Your biggest fan,
Ansible
