Epiblogger

Epiblogger… it’s what’s for breakfast. That was a delicious breakfast. It’s a meal like that that let’s me know I am doing ok. But I can’t say the same for Epiblogger or for the genre.

Is it just me or does everyone notice that the world would be far better off without metablogs? I subscribe to a large portion of metablogs and I can skim through them and think—what is this bullshit?

I have two problems:

• I assume that everyone thinks like me.
• I shouldn’t be passionate about anything because I just get pissed off.

The first problem is probably most peoples problem. For all I know you love metablogs. You can’t get enough of them. You could—if faithful enough—live on metablogs alone. The second problem is probably familiar as well. I don’t watch hockey because I end up spending three hours yelling at my television and it becomes obvious that I am slowly becoming my father. While I love my father, that’s not a bridge I am ready to cross.

The solution

Here is the solution as I see it: stop metablogging. But on the other hand we have a PR3 and why should give that up? Plus I think at least 4 people read this blog on rare occassion. I mean, the reasons to keep going are overwhelming.

This is point where I use an analogy

And a bad analogy at that. I think it has something about how everyone needs breakfast and I have the best breakfast in town so keep coming back to Epiblogger… right?

Lament or rejoice?

I am somewhere between being completely in love with blogging and the community it represents and disgust for the constant white noise that spewn from the general metablog community. However, who is going to benefit from me sitting around bitching about it? So what am I supposed to do? At the very least you can be happy I am using headers.

Keep going

I have ideas. We have changed the theme. I am feeling a fresh breath of air for Epiblogger. I am going to go in slightly different direction and tone with my posting here. I am going to continue to experiment with new ideas. And I suppose you’ll probably be able to find helpful stuff here too. But don’t expect me to play nice. Expect me to play nice-ish, but with a small splash of bitchy.

Long story short

I am back. I want to rejuvenate the genre of metablogging. Also, in case you don’t know, I have to talk things out. Thanks for listening.
