Blossipping About Blog Smack

Posted on 16. Jul, 2008 by loswhit in Weblogs

I got an undercover email from a good friend today telling me that another “blogger” was talking smack about my blog and thought I needed to know.
When I got up off the floor from my fetal position, kidding, I asked them why they thought I needed to know.
They responded with a bit about how this person was spreading nasty rumors offline about my intentions with this blog and they should be stopped.
I asked them how they think I should stop this attack on my online presence?
I told them maybe they were just sharing a blog prayer request and wanted the recipient of this information to know how they can pray for my blog soul.
Just like a real prayer request. You know. Gossip covered with “Bless their heart”
They responded… “Maybe you should have a blog fight behind the blog cafeteria after our blog classes get out”

This got a roaring laugh from me.
Because it is so true.
This community of blogs is like highschool.
You have the cool kids.
The tree huggers.
The jocks.
The class clowns.
The underclassmen.
The hoes.
Just kidding again.

People have real conversations about real peoples lives behind their 15″ of LCD love like they really know them.
I have had conversations in real life with people that sound like this…
“Can you believe ____ wrote that on their blog? That was a mistake.”
Like we KNOW that person or something.

So as real as the relationships we make on here are, and I believe they are sometimes more real that the fake ones I am involved with offline, we have to remember that you get a 30 second blip out of 86,000 seconds a day.
That was the worst piece of grammar I have ever participated in.
So all that to say…
We can’t smell each others farts,
If we could, we would probably stop reading.

Now it’s time to go kick Eric’s blog @$$.
Don’t no one step up on my like that without a fight.
And no, it wasn’t Eric.
He’s my best friend and I don’t even read his lame blog.
But you should.
I’m blabbing now.
Bless Their Blog Heart

    Which category of high school cliques does your blog fall into? Maybe that last one you mentioned? Oh my… I can’t even say it.

    Can you believe he sai….

    I hated high school.

    Comes with the territory, I suppose.

    Los, I talk trash about your blog to everyone I know ;)

    Seriously though, it’s funny when you’re around someone who doesn’t blog and all you want to talk about is blogging, and all they don’t want to talk about is blogging.

    Just remember what 1 Samuel 16 says in the NBV:

    “Do not consider his blog’s appearance or it’s height, for I have rejected it. The LORD does not look at the blogs man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance of a blog, but the LORD looks at the blog’s heart.”

    P.S.

    There is Gnome Sex on my blog today. I just thought you should know.

    They’re just jealous. They want a “traffic jam” type blog. That is until they get one, and then have people blossipping about them.

    @ DetzelPretzel

    Man! I gotta get me that translation!

  9. Abby 16 July 2008 at 6:58 am #

    Lol, I think blogs are like high school too. I’ve thought about doing a similar post, except my post would sound like a shunned blogger who didn’t fit in with the “cool” kids, whereas your post is hysterical! “Blossiping” & “Bless their blog heart”, love it!

    My bad, loswhit. I shouldn’t have talked about your mama like that. :)

    Jesus faced criticisms-Matthew 12:24, Paul’s final advise to the Thessalonians is clear on dealing with this issue- 1 Thess. 5:12-16, and Romans 12:17-21 is powerful. Over the years I have faced similar issues and recently someone was “trashing me around the USA” and I prayed and followed God’s instructions. I had enough information to bury my critic, but choose the Christian response and prayed for my enemy. I have consistently refused to give them “wind for their sail”. NEXT!!!…love, DAD

    Los, that’s it … I’ll come to your rescue with my blog biker gang guys … you don’t want to mess with blog bikers! They will blog hurt you and make you blog disappear.

    Here’s the real question: is a blog salvation only good for a blog Heaven?

  13. Los 16 July 2008 at 7:42 am #

    I’m starting a blog gang.
    Who’s in?

  14. Nick 16 July 2008 at 7:54 am #

    do I have to be jumped in to join the gang? I don’t believe in violence… especially when I am the recipient of it.

  15. The Domestic Goddess 16 July 2008 at 8:11 am #

    Great.
    Now I’m back in HIGH SCHOOL again.
    Might as well get this out of the way:

    I was in band.

  16. Crystal Renaud 16 July 2008 at 8:36 am #

    i’m in. but only if we can break into random & snappy songs like in Westside Story.

  17. Les 16 July 2008 at 9:48 am #

    Boy, boy, crazy boy

    Yo, Los (did I just write yo? sorry) blogging sharpshooter fluffy grandmother (who lived in Panama) linking in to your bloggin gang.
    Let’s get ready to blumble…

  20. Carole Turner 16 July 2008 at 11:33 am #

    We here in BR talk about your blog a lot actually. Everyone at HPC who blogs reads yours and when we see each other we talk about how you cuss, talk about drinking, your private parts and play homemade Snoop dog videos. We could NEVER get away with that here!! Sensorship is alive and well in Baton Rouge louisiana, especially among “leadership” so we are always amazed by your subject matter and we just figure that Andy must not read your blog. Just kidding, kinda ;-)

    Gang name: Stat Hoes and Blog Pimpers. I am a Hoe.

    Hey Los. I’m back from Africa…and guess what?
    I’m down to 123.2 pounds! The goal was 120-125…does the fact that I just happened to lose it in a 3rd world country count as cheating to get to my goal?

    :-)

    I miss you friend.

    THE BLOGGING WORD IS BRUTAL AND SERIOUS BUSINESS. this is out of control. im a new blogger and frightened to death.

  31. Debbie 17 July 2008 at 7:19 am #

    Got here from a Thursday Thirteen at http://www.valtool.blogspot.com

    You’re right – some of it is just like high school.

    I never really fit into any one category in school, mostly bounced between them (except for the jocks one).
    Although, upon thinking about it, my blog is kind of like that too – random….

    All that to say, I really enjoyed you blog and plan to add it to my regular reads.
