defunct

well this blog has been steadily disappearing up it’s own arse for a while now so i have decided to pull the pin on it for the time being.

i will of course still be blogging away over at the grub’s site http://grubhier.wordpress.com

and who knows, if and when the urge strikes me this here blog might re-incarnate in a different form or shape or something.

but for now, adios amigos

another new blog

http://grubhier.wordpress.com

for all things baby related – well our baby at any rate

playing with crayons

yeah i’m pissing about with the look again instead of writing any actual content…

hello? anybody home??

yeah, i’m still here.

procrastinating instead of doing my uni essay that is due soon and the touristy thing here in Germany. there has been some action but that is being reported on over at the other blog (the family friendly one) www.michaeljerusha.wordpress.com

still, check back in occassionaly as i will sporadically update here with stuff that is not appropriate for the audience of the other blog. like the observation made in Austria last week that the further south you go in Europe the bigger the average bust size of the general population seems to get. apparently. not that i noticed or anything.

intriguing…

let's be honest, this blog doesn't get a lot of traffic (which is why i haven't bothered putting a stat counter on here anywhere – somehow seeing 3 – 6 hits a day is just slightly sad, even if this thing really is for my own entertainment / procrastination purposes).

so i'm kind of interested when i see that in the last few days people have come here as a result of plugging the following into their search engine:

'wheelchair sexy women'  & 'the fun machine that took a shit and die'

now i don't know what is more interesting, what they were looking for or why it ended up pointing to this blog… curious but kinda cool too…

hope they went on to find what they were looking for.

deadlines, schmedlines….

and so this blog returns to its original raison d'etre…

with two uni essays due and rapidly approaching deadlines i am of course procrastinating for all i'm worth. the fact that one of the essays is worth half the mark for the entire subject and panic induced reflux pain notwithstanding.

and to think, before i had a blog i used to just waste time by tossing off while listening to PJ Harvey records performing volunteer charity work

yeah, what he said

Eric over at Something’s Gone Wrong Again! wrote this a while back (see below) and it kinda struck a chord. of course i’ve only been doing this bloggin’ thing for about 3 minutes and usually can’t muster more than 5 words in a row etc etc but you get the idea – a kindred spirit perhaps?? and yes the irony that i have used someone else’s writing about essentially being lazy to explain the statement of purpose of their blog to explain the statement of purpose of my blog which i did already back in the first post about this being an outlet for procrastination which is intimately linked with my general laziness is not lost on me and fuck this getting to be a ridiculously long sentence that is not making a lot of sense so just read Eric’s bit below and i’ll shut up for now.

quoting Eric:

“Closing in on two years of this blog (OK, I’m rounding up by a couple of months) and I realize that it is a directionless piece of crap ( a true reflection on the author). I’ve had two years to create a web alter-ego and what have I done? Nothing. I’m just as fat, boring and generally dislikeable here as I am in real life. This blog is the equivalent of me mumbling something pointless whih no one hears and when I repeat it it’s lost all of it’s zing. That said, I’m toying with some ideas to kick this thing up, like changing my web identity from the bland ‘Eric’ to something the kids can identify with – like ‘Easy E’, ‘DJ Eroc’ or ‘Dr Sausage’. Another idea is to change the name of the blog itself to something that really reflects who I am. “Thick As A Pickle Still Getting Laid’ or “The Fun Machine (took a Shit and Died)” or “Fat Guy Goes Nutzoid”. Better yet, I could radically change the whole bent of this thing, turning it into “Daddy&Me” blog where I write about the cute shit my kids do that keeps me entertained complete with pages and pages of pictures. It’s either that or I turn this into one of those pages that asks their readers annoying questions such as “What’s your secret recipe for sausage gravy” and receives 100 comments.

Just some ideas being tossed around at the diocese.

You know what? Fuck that. Creating clever and insightful content takes too much time and talent, both of which are in short supply here. I’m hoping all 5 SGWA readers will continue to read my pointless ramblings and anecdotes, lists of things I need to get done on the weekend, random inexplicable photos, one-liners stolen from TV and movies, and recipes for venison because this crap is what blogging is all about – people with nothing to say saying stuff. It’s a helluva timekiller at work also.

Sincerely,
Professor Fuck You “

Has anyone noticed the nature of blog english. Its not so much a case of sms english where an entire new collection of words come into existence ( and on top of that some religious nerd thinks that they’ll make Christ more ‘groovy’ but converting the bible into sms lingo) but rather that bloggers try to write in a profound way. Its an an attempt to make interesting what is probably not really, as in essence this is the secret journal that you want people to read, and rather egomaniacally you make sure that its not just your mother who might find it under the pillow, but rather the whole world by putting it on the internet. Usually its also ”quirky’ and reference to things that you did or didn’t do but instead wrote this rather profound note… (like not working and blogging in your lunch break…).

So, in an attempt to avoid such quirky profundity I’m going to ensure that I blog neither the profound, or quirky – and quite frankly not very interesting: today I had one of the final wedding dresses fittings and I like it. Lucky my mum doesn’t have access to the internet or my pillow becasue she’d probably be comatose with boredom by now.

Cherio.

welcome to team void

oh and a big welcome to roosh who is bound to say more intelligent things here than i am.

Blogging in your lunch break

Greetings all – my first posting.

Not a lot to say other than that this could become a very dangerous procrastination tool whilst at work. I’d advise to fire someone who spent all their time blogging.

Anyway, if anyone would like to assist Michael in becoming a member of the idle rich sooner rather than later that would be good. He went back to work this week and has been grumpy ever since. Unfortunately earning money is really rather helpful, especially with the wedding and trip to Europe next year. The countdown is on.. anyone want to look after a black cat with a personality disorder for 5 months or so?? We’ll leave with a big bag of friskies and a poo tray… for the cat…

Speaking of work, better do some.
