Not a Blog of Note No, I'm not a blog of note. I feel it's important to make that distinction. In fact as I push toward 2 millionth place on Technorati, I've also noted that Technorati no longer updates my pings.
Ping You, Technorati.
That's o.k.. I'm comfortable here tied in 2 millionth place with all the other Mr. Irrelevants. Fact is I'll never be a blog of a note. Blogs of note have themes. I don't have a theme. I have cynicism. There's nothing notable about cynicism.

Here's my brief cynical take on some of the current blogs of note:

http://davidmetz.net/blog goes by "Philosophical Musings" . Sigh. You lost me at philosophical. I had a minor in Philosophy in college. You might remember philosophy by another word, boring. Honestly, if you can't make a buck with it, or use it to pick up girls, what good is philosophy?
Among other things "Musings" muses on alternative fuels, veganism, and his cat. Me? I got to split. I've got to load my cat hating dog into my Hummer take him out for some 1/4 pounders. Probably won't be stopping back by.

http://threebeautifulthings.blogspot.com Kind of got a Folger's commercial feel to it. If you haven't figured it out, posts consist of listing 3 happy little ordinary things from everyday life. Lady who writes it seems nice enough. I almost feel bad mocking it.
Tell you what though, let me pitch in with 3 beautiful things from my day.
1) I hope the coffee tickles my colon enough so that I'm out the gate most mornings having taken a colossal cathartic dump.
2) Who cares.
3) Hope the family steers clear of me when I get home until I've pounded at least one martini.
Just beautiful.

http://nurse-ratcheds.blogspot.com Nice themed site by a nurse mostly for a nurse. Again, seems like a nice lady, but Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest? Could you pick someone or something less sinister or ominous? How about http://flyingmonkey.blogspot.com
The guy's not using it.
