I keep a running list of blog ideas/topics. Some are categorized under various categories (Pet Peeves/Pleases, Management Tactics, Brilliant Ideas, etc.), while most are just lumped under “Truthbits.” (If you’re curious, I use the free version of Backpack as my list software.)
I’ve noticed over time that if I don’t write about an entry when I’m really excited about it, I don’t use it. Over time, it gets pushed to the bottom of the Truthbits list and I don’t even think to write about it. (There are other entries that seem funny when I originally think of them–like the photo of the dump my cat took in my car yesterday–that I later reconsider and never post.)
Today I’d like to give you the opportunity to vote on some of those entries that keep getting pushed back. You can choose multiple entries or none at all. I’ll check back on the poll at the end of the week to see which ones seem interesting to you. Also, I’m just going to post the notes that I made for each of these entries without any further explanation to add to the intrigue.
Jamey – I’d like to thank you personally for NOT posting the photo of your cat’s “dump”. That’s all.
100% self-restraint. I didn’t want to dive too low into bathroom humor.
(Still, it was a comically large amount of feces.)
All of those sound like great posts! By the way, I vaguely remember you writing what seemed like an incredibly long report (20+ pages) on the safest city in the US as an ambitious youth.
Also, you could just challenge your readers to find someone who is crazier than Al Davis: https://xark.typepad.com/my_weblog/images/2007/11/06/al_davis.jpg
Girls in their underwear playing Risk! Risk! Risk!
Clearly this concept excites you as much as it does me. I don’t think it’s worth a full entry, but it certainly is a beautiful idea.
I’m waiting for you to blog about something completely scandelous. I prefere drama and sarcasm and better if it has both. That might up your readership. Also, ditto for not posting cat-dump.
