blah blah blog....

It has come to our attention that many of our fans have been so impressed (obsessed?) with our blog, that they are talking about starting one of their own. Well take it from us, it's not as galmorous as it looks. I mean, we sit here day after day chatting over AIM about what to write about when we SHOULD be doing work. We have posted 22 blogs so far, and to be honest... we are running out of ideas here. And sometimes it hurts our heads to think too hard. Not to mention the fact that we are getting pretty sick of each other.

So to help all of you guys stay away from the seedy underbelly of the blogging world (have you ever had to help Perez Hilton back into his clothes after a night of naked partying? Trust us, it ain't pretty) we decided to post this WikiHow. Please read and remember: Say no to blogs.

How to Dissuade Yourself from Becoming a Blogger

Steps:
1.) Find five completely random blogs, and read them daily for a month. After thirty days, you will absolutely dread your self-imposed requirement to read all that dreck. Any blog you create will most likely be on par with what you've been reading. Don't put anyone through that.

2.) Consider that your voice, even if it is truly a good one, is a tiny peep against the massive wave of tripe out there. The odds of anyone you don't already know finding your blog are low.

3.) Write on a regular basis in a text editor instead. If that doesn't satisfy your urge, and you feel that you must post your blog online, then you might just be craving attention and validation--which you'll never truly find in a blog. If you give up on your Wordpad journal after about three days, you'll do the same with a blog that just takes up server space.

4.) Ask yourself if you really have the time to commit to a blog. What about that treehouse you wanted to build? Or the book you wanted to write? Or the car you wanted to fix up? Or the restaurant you wanted to take your significant other to? Or the new career you wanted to pursue? Instead of writing about pretty much nothing, or whining about all the things you wish you were doing instead, start doing something that'd actually be worth writing about. And if it's really worth writing about, you'll be having too much fun doing it to tear yourself away from it.

Tips:
- Rest easy in the knowledge that it's perfectly okay and respectable to not have a blog at all. Not everyone is cut out to write things that are readable by everyone. The last thing you want to do is contribute more dreck to the universe.

- If attention and validation are what you're looking for, know that you will get neither from blogging. As above, very few people will ever know that your blog (or you, by proxy) exists. The remainder of comments posted to your blog will be sappy treacle, which you won't trust as being sincere anyway.

Warnings:
The information you post on the Internet is likely to linger for years and years to come, as web pages are archived by "snapshot" services like the Wayback Machine. Once it's out there, you can't take it back. An employer running a Google search on your name years down the line might be turned off by your now documented obsession with your cat.
