Thug Appeal

So my blog is being out-blinged.

Like so many other aspects of my boring beige life, my blog, the very reflection of my inner essence, is being outdone by the glitter and glam of its MTV-watching, iPod-toting, ice-wearing peers. Bigger, better pictures, more links, fancier layout, more frequent posts, and *gasp* audioblogs are, apparently, the future of blogging. Without interactivity, multimedia, and wicked-cool graphics, a blog cannot hope to grasp the stunted attention of today's fast-paced audience. No longer shall a blog be adjudicated based on its true merits: substance, honesty and vigor. Well I say, the birth of bling spells the death of the blog. When a blog ceases to shine based upon its own inner glow, and instead relies upon the commercial gimmicks that have already take over mainstream media and American pop culture, that blog is no longer a blog. It is something less, something impure, and something foul. I say, reject the superficial sparkle of the Holyblog! Reject the empty allure of shallow sights and spineless sounds! Reject blog bling! Substance, honesty, vigor, forever!




P.S. Check out the song I wrote several years back for a Wendy's competition. I didn't win, what do y'all think?
