today is my ex's birthday....
what sucks is that i look at the date and still think "oh, it's his birthday." ....it's been over two fucking years! i don't remember any of my other exes birthday's...so what the fuck? it has nothing to do with not being over him or anything like that...i guess after spending nearly three years with the asshole it's ingrained in my memory.
bad memory! bad!
in other un-exciting news....
i think i have the only dog in the world that will totally forgo pissing and shitting, to run around like a maniac for hours upon hours. i'm serious, my dog will completely "forget" to go to the bathroom the minute she gets off her leash. it doesn't matter if she hasn't gone for twelve hours..she won't go until i literally yell at her to go potty and threaten to take her ass home unless she does.
it's also rather interesting that during thunderstorms (see: outside the window at the most awesome spectacle of mother nature), my cat doesn't give a shit. she looks out the window and spectates...but my dog? jesus fucking christ--tail between legs, nervous hyper-spazz panting....she literally hides herself behind the toilet....well, as best as she can considering she is forty pounds and very leggy. and when the thunder gets louder, she hauls ass to my bathroom where she opens the cabinet, empties the cabinet, and crawls into the cabinet.
see? not only am i fucked up, but so is my dog....like mother like daughter eh?
and in more un-exciting news...
in my amass of free-time, i've actually made a reality out of the little idea i had a while back when i started reading the site that "reviewed" my blog. first time i read it i pretty much noticed it was the most subjective thing ever....it was based on what they liked and didn't like. i mean it's pretty much a forumla: hnt+dark template+colored text+content/words they can knit pick at=we hate you.
now, maybe this is just me being an idealist or too liberal in my opinion, but i think blogging is something personal enough that it goes beyond the aesthetic. someone feels what they have to say is important enough to put out there on the world wide web, and even if they just do it as a journal or as a past-time..it's something they put time and effort into.
it's personal.
what colors they chose, the template, the subject matter, everything that goes into a blog is purely personal. so, wouldn't it make more sense to take the review out of the subjective realm and into a more objective realm where the aesthetic and the subject matter aren't the total package?
i think so! and thus, my little idea of reviewing blogs for writing style and content as well as subject matter and aesthetics has come to fruition.
ta da!!
i'd like to get a few people to help in the reviews; however, i need to get people so submit first.
as a basic policy, i'm thinking if you're in my links list you're a no-go for me to review...but that's where other people could come into play...
i guess there's a lot of details for me to work out and figure out....but....hey, least i got this much started, no?
but if you know anyone interested in being reviewed, holla at ya ho! :)

first comment! booyah!
Heh.
Hey ... maybe you should resubmit your blog now that you have that fly-ass plate in your sidebar ... it could turn things around totally!
and yeah, those people are almost all single too, it appears, since they seem to despise "mommy blogs."
and you're also right that it seems that they're all about look and feel instead of substance and content ... it's like looking at a not-so-nice-looking car and saying it sucks without bothering to look inside at the interior or under the hood at the engine ...
Has anyone reviewed THEIR blog? Dude, that should be your first review on Iwillfuckingtearyouapartwhatalongfuckingblogspoturl.
I had a dog that would have panic attack everytime I left him alone. It was horrible, poor thing had emtional break downs.
I miss that dog
Have a great weekend
More importantly, today is the great John Wayne's birthday. (Your ex isn't John Wayne, is he?)
Celebrate by watching The Quiet Man at 3:30est on Turner Classic Movies.
If you have never seen it, I assure you that you will love it.
this would mean i'd actually have to read blogs right?
dzer: exactly :) and you're right...that plate will make ALL the difference in my review...i'm so resubmitting!!
Hedge: but they have to submit their blog! haha wanna do it for 'em? :)
Kristen: awww poor puppy. hope your long weekend is funtastic!
Flounder: ummmm he was hot when he was my age..but i'm thinking dating my gramps isn't gonna go over well with the family, and my libido :)
Shane: yea..you'd actually have to read some of them...but i can male you like the picture blog reviewer heh
Love, love, love Poe!!
Trigger Happy Jack is a song very near and dear to my heart. :D
*checks to see if I'm in your links list* Oh, ya. There I am under "Pocket Pussies..." Whew!!
Dating a dead guy probably wouldn't go over too well either.
Jenny: ut oh, you going to get offended by the title and/or fact you're not in the top list? eeeep...i get a lot of that, i need to rethink the links maybe? shite! and i love poe too..i have to sing "amazed" for my freinds band...soooo happy!!
Flounder: true. necrophelia is so hot though!
Yeah I looked attheir blog the other day and all it was bitch bitch bitch about blogs they don't like. Like you said its a personal space and people write on their blogs mainly for thmeselves and not others.
Anyways my dog is such a freak in the same way. I let him outside and he'll go and play. Then the minute I tell him to come inside or go potty he goes to the bathroom. Personally I think he does to get more time outside to play and bark at the beighbors dog.
That site looks really nice! I have to rely on blogger templates and when I try to change one little thing... mmm, well let's just say it doesn't go too well.
Good luck with it!
DUDE!! I'd totally do this!!!
*pick me pick me*
"Oh yeah, something else. I hope one day you call up your father and you have the guts to tell him how he hurt you and how he made you hurt another. Cuz it makes me sad."
great song Elle.
I don't think I'd want some random place to review my blog. I might cry.
My dog flips out during thunderstorms. He's a 75lb miniature, (obese, I know) English Bulldog.
He likes to run outside and bite the thunder... go figure!
Backdoor Slider: she won't go to the bathroom now, when i take her out to the park across the street. she just looks at me like "so, are you going to let me off my leash or what, bitch?"...i never thought i'd have an issue with making my dogs bowel movements, or lack thereof. i have to make her wait until she's begging to go outside, so she actually does go. strange!
Jmai: thanks! hopefully it turns into something more than "loook! i can fuck with templates!"
Sicilia Para: long as someone thinks i'm funny and amusing, i'm happy :)
Em: you're in!
Hubris: fantastic album! and why would you cry?
Robynb: english bulldogs are so cute!! if they didn't drool and snore, i'd so get one..but my parents dog snored and it drove me nuts. my dog won't go outside for the rest of the night if there's any thunder, which is a total pain in the ass because i live right by indians stadium, and they always put off fireworks when the indians score..and then if they win, it's a huge spectacle....so..there goes potty time for my dog for that night.
Dunno why I'd cry. But I took a color test online one time. It basically said pick from these colors at random. I did and what it told me about me literally made me immediately leave school to go home and go to bed balling.
fuck it, i'll be a part of your blog review thing. i'm good at tearing people a new one.
Who hoo fuckers, did you hear that? Buttahs gonna let me in...
I've been waiting a very long time for that.
Your temp looks fine!
Hubris: i cried during lilo and stitch....i understand!
Shane: soon as i get some fuckin submissions..i'll be all on inviting ya
Em: welcome to the circle of trust
oh no... there's trust involved... now i have to play
*grin*
*waves*
i miss my dog.
You can review me anytime.
And I totally feel you on the whole memory thing. It's like it has a mind of its own and hangs on to little pieces of trivia...some good, some bad, and some that I'd rather not think about.
Hmmmm. But I still wouldn't do the whole Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind thing.
