Over at Microcontent News, John Hiler has been pondering the whys and wherefores of dating blogs.
Thing is, says he, dating blogs of people who are happy are no fun. There's no drama, no angst, no zing.
I'd write a dating blog, but it'd be really, really boring. It'd go something like this:
Monday: had dinner with parental units.
Tuesday: watched the Nets game on TV.
Wednesday: watched four hours of Law & Order on TNT.
Thursday: had dinner with parental units.
Friday: Got a response to a personal ad.
Saturday: personal ad responder stopped returning emails.
Sunday: had dinner with parental units.
And really, that's not very fun to read about, is it?
is that your scary halloween story?
well, it's got the pathos and tragedy angle down purt good.
Maybe you and Ken SHOULD move in together.
If you want a real scary story, why doesn't Mike tell the tale of how his server imploded and how he had to resurrect his website using two tin cans and some old twine?
