I’ve been feeling kind of lousy lately and the blog is in the backseat. I don’t really have much going on either which doesn’t help in new topics. Ck4 said no one cares about fantasy football so I’ll omit that from future entries. I can’t tell if anyone likes when I write about things I watch on TV. The sports tales seem boring. I sort of feel like no one really cares about anything. I understand why most people don’t have blogs. It’s basically because they have nothing of any interest that people would like to read about. I’m approaching my 400th post and my readership is a 1 or 2 hundred people a month. This isn’t bragging either it’s just this hasn’t become a nationwide phenomena. I get nothing out of it and people get free entertainment that they like to complain about why what I’m doing isn’t good. I just have reached the why bother point which comes from time to time. It’s usually just a phase and I know it passes. I do have to expect this though with a blog that isn’t oriented to anything in particular but to my life. People who visit have to specifically know me or else it’s just randomness. Unless it’s celebrities or porn, it’s difficult to create a site people care about. No real point to this post other than posting what I’m feeling.
In Role Models Sean William Scott says Michael Ian-Plantz looks like Marvin Hamlisch and the reply is “Who the fuck is Marvin Hamlisch?” — “He wrote the music for The Sting” — “Good movie.” So I decided to watch the Sting with Robert Redford and Paul Newman. I was pretty impressed with a film from the 70’s. It was entertaining throughout and even with the ancient wipes it held my interest. I’d recommend it over most movies out there today. The plot is better than most and at times it seems slow but I liked it. I think Paul Newman is a badass by the way. I also don’t know why the females are so ugly 40 years ago. Honestly just all girls in the movie were dogs.
I think people should volunteer to do guest blogs from time to time to help contribute. If this is something you want, then I think you should advertise and welcome people to submit ideas for topics and then give them the go ahead to write about it.
You forget people are lazy. Plus the blog doesn’t have a topic which makes things hazy. I make efforts to post every day and without good material, I go crazy. A collaborative effort would make for a better website but there has to be a purpose to the site. I’ll mull it over.
I don’t know you personally but I’m a fellow Manayunker 20 something who lives similarly in terms of social adventures. The comic attitude you have is pretty good at times, though I cannot watch your videos at work. Even if you don’t think you’re being funny the situations and drunken antics you describe give a bit of life to my drunken tales. So in essense, you have captured a fellow alcy degenerate who likes funny drunk stories.
You may take this as a liscense to increase your alcoholic beverage intake in an attempt to make your blog postings more Hank Moody-ish, minus the fine snatch all over the place, of course.
You may also think about advertising in Manayunk; Post flyers around town and leave your card with your URL at diferent bars if you are really worried about increasing traffic.
-EEEEEEE
PS. As far as the purpose of the site just write about this drunken town. It’s a popular hang out and if you can capture a good audience of people that actually know the places and events you’re talking about, people will read about it just because it’s about something familiar. The official blog of drunken yunkers.
E, your spelling is pretty bad but thanks much for the feedback. Knowing there are, even random, people out there who get a kick out of this stuff makes it worthwhile. I’ve sort of kicked a specific Manayunk bar idea around before and you are probably on to something. I like the drunken yunkers, if I ever make a fortune off that title I’ll share the wealth.
Wow. Yeah. That was pretty bad grammar. I’ll stick to picture taking. Speaking of that, using pictures on some of your postings would be cool too. E-mail me if you can find any use for an amateur/hobby photographer in your blog endeavors. Efalese@gmail.com
