Drunken Posts and Suchlike
One thing I was a regal force in was the drunken blog post, mainly fuelled by listening to bigoted views of drunken people at work then relaxing with a few beers after finishing at the pub and sharing those views.
I found it exceptionally easy to get a rise out of readers by just implying a slight wrongness on any particular subject, it could have been something as innocuous as the price of sprouts before the Christmas rush or an easy pop at Republican views, always a good one for comments from over the pond.
This was obviously before the newspapers cottoned on to the fact that bloggers were getting more readers than their papers, so professional writers entered the scene and practically killed all but the best blogs overnight. It’s a great shame this happened as the communities I have been part of were amazing, some exceptional writers were met and lifelong friendships were forged during those times.
Anyhow, I’m only going on because I am drunk at this very particular moment. Those who know me know that I waffle and flirt, eventually ending up arguing over a nuance. Hopefully in such a way to cause maximum offence but not enough to punch me in the face. It’s a very delicate balance, it takes an immense talent to notice the edge point, I am such a talent :D
I can infuriate the calmest, most laid back person alive. I should be employed by The Daily Mail. Alas I don’t hold with their political views. But I am offering my services to all and sundry.
My blog has died on its arse, nobody reads me anymore, you can tell by the lack of comments and the amount of blog posts I manage to produce. I do however know that people used to enjoy reading what I wrote and I am erudite and funny, so surely someone out there might like a guest writer from time to time.
