Blip Blog - It's a Blip. It's a Blog. It's a Blip.Blog.

i am ag. just a girl with a blog, rummaging through thoughts on people, places, food, style, ideas, film, literature. and here it is. eat french bread. that’s the best advice i have to offer.

I hope people support me because they enjoy my blog and because they think I have something valid to say. Nice and simple. And I support others because I'm always on the lookout to learn something new. I believe that good writers need to read alot to learn alot so they can write alot.

There's unwritten blog etiquette which says if someone comments on your blog, you should at least leave a 'Hi!' comment on theirs.

And if someone links to your site, you should link to theirs.

…but seriously... KTZ... a good question... we all blog for money, sure... the thought is there... and I drop votes everywhere I can because of it… especially if the person has worked hard on a good thought provoking or entertaining post…but I think that eventually there is more to it than that... therefore to me blogging has morphed into more than a quick way to make a buck...

Like many others, I don't always leave a comment, but the comments really make the blogging more than ‘just a job...’

I shall always believe in paying my dues, in every area of life, after all, some are not so fortunate as others and I think it's a good thing to count one's blessings and help others along the way, just as they help us from time to time.

I dunno... I don't really care if someone leaves a comment on one of my blogs if it's just a comment for the sake of making a comment (if that makes sense). I read and enjoy various other blogs here, but I don't always comment on them. It feels kind of cheap to make a comment with no substance.

"My comment for your comment" sounds to me like barter, and it's a cheap coin to pay with for someone's writing. I write comments or vote on blogs I find interesting, the fact that those people don't visit me doesn't make me like their writing less and it certainly doesn't stop me from going to their blogs again and again. I don't like the idea of someone posting a comment on my blog just because he feels it's a duty or some kind of exchange. I expect people to visit/write comments because they like what they read.
There...I've said it....

Show me how informed you really are.
Show everyone.
Show those people who doubted you.
Those who ridiculed and humiliated you.
Show them.
Show them all, now.
Now.
Do it now.
Why not show how before you were born, the world was at a loss.
Until you arrived.

Deride a few lesser personalities.
Deride a few larger ones too.
Perhaps some who, through no fault of their own, are rich and famous
need derision or deification.
Defecate all over them.
