Dang it

So I’m mildly bitter this morning, and let me tell you why. I first started this blog about four months ago mainly as a way of amusing myself and my friends and killing a little time at work. Eventually I realized that a better way of killing that time was to read the blogs of others who write much better than me. One the first (and subsequently one of my favorites) that I started reading was Steph. Basically it’s a log of all the retarded acts performed by her and her friends. She is definitely funnier than me, and also Australian, therefore has an infinitely more popular blog. Every Wednesday she likes to link to a blog that she finds entertaining, I received the honor today.

As a result of her link my traffic has jumped about 300% in the last day. People from 14 different countries have perused my incoherent ramblings. So what am I bitter about you ask? My last post is about damn Eric Roberts. Most people don’t even know who the hell he is. It seems unlikely to hook people in is what I’m saying. So now I have people from Tunisia checking in to my blog to read about a damn Akon video. Son of a bitch. Why couldn’t it have been the day when I wrote something that amuses someone other than Brian? Of course that suggesting I ever write something funny, which is debatable. I guess I’ll just have to bask in my one or two days of glory where I few hundred people read this trash and then go back trying to writing for my 20 friends who feel obligated to check this out.

Of course, I just assumed that the Killers are popular in places like Australia, Malaysia and Switzerland. But that has to be more likely than Akon.

And now nobody knows what the hell my assumption about the Killers was, or further who Eric Roberts is.

If they are anything like me I usually scroll down and read the entire first page of the blog. Usually 4-6 posts worth of stuff.
Don't fret. You are definitely worth reading. Heck, I even blogrolled you!
