The crazy, sick and surreal world of the blog

Something is wrong. You ever get that feeling of impending doom? Something menacing is right around the corner. It's us blog people. We're fucking weird!

We're sick. Something IS wrong with us! Why do we make this effort day in and day out? We're compelled to sit here and squeeze out content. I mean squeeze because it takes some real sack to get something out of us sometimes.

And then, you meet each other. Some are readers and others are writers and most of the time, we interact with the writers who are obviously disturbed. Are we satisfied? We must be because we write until we're exhausted, think till we're drained, plan till we're numb. In the end, it's very satisfying.

Then you have these fucking crooks who do nothing but throw up content all day. Content they steal from other sites. The only effort they make is copy, paste, translate, copy, paste, spin, copy, paste and submit. That takes up to five minutes maybe? They fan out into the internet and crowd accounts submitting junk.

How can these people still feel good about themselves when they do that? Is the anonymity of the internet so great that they can detach themselves from the crime? People like Jon Mark are 'on it', turning it around and reporting the crooks. Maybe it isn't enough but it's something.

And then you have others who don't know the rules of the internet and others who do, and it's a constant battle for facts against accusations for pay. Is this a hint into the workforce after the great crash?

There are trends and patterns everywhere, and they turn into such a mess sometimes that you just want to get away from. But you just can't. We mean, we can't. There's just so much stuff we have to say. Doesn't need to be said? Who gives two fucks, it's getting said and so here we are.

I've just looked at all the content generated on other services and realize how much work has to be done and it will get done; I'm just over-fucking-whelmed with it right now.

The weirdest thing about all of this is gaging the importance of what's being said and that's always changing. Thinking on those levels compels a person to think whether they should take the effort seriously or just have fun! We're likely to side with the latter. So let's do that, shall we!? Aside from the links in the text above, here are the rest of the updates since the last beat-down. Have a good weekend!

Read about this bastard's last minutes!

“Worry Dolls Worry, So You Do Not Have To” (rental)

Someone we don't know wrote this. A good time-killer for you and your little monsters.

“Popular Culture and Dog Attacks”

In light of a horrific dog attack nearby, here is a little insight into what drives the culture responsible.

“True Value” (itty-bitty tales)

Ever heard of "labor-fiction"? Well, you have now!

We're hardly ever aware of our presence and our place in life. Unfortunately, this is it.

“Internet Writing: What This Green Stuff Means To You”

Bloggers argue a lot. Mostly with themselves. This is because many of them do it for the wrong reasons. And it causes conflict. We like conflict.

“Set a spam trap with your posts”, “Where to find the plagiarism buffet on bubblews”, “Playing With My Food”,  “Plagiarism is not lost in translation”

These posts detail a specific trick that plagiarists are doing online. It should also apply to all content writing services, because those operate in the same way. Get your translators out!

Survival Journalism

We've moved survival journalism from blogger to wordpress and seem to have settled on the right theme for it for now. If you're looking for something more serious, check out these posts.

“Nuclear Energy and Natural Gas Are Going To Solve The Climate Change Problem” (rant)

Everyone has an angle on climate change. The problem is that some of those who do have great influence.

Trump might have been right when he said politicians were, "All talk, no action."
