Sustain-a-Blog-ability

Strength in Blunders came to that split of one road into two roads in a yellow wood yesterday.  It has made no difference yet and I cannot imagine what difference it will make...Which makes me wonder if this is the famous yellow wood or just some knock-off, middle of the mall shit.  It does say "a" yellow wood so maybe its not marked on a map. (shewww I am exhausted).. These roads at this divergence were marked: Save the Blog <-- | --> Kill the Blog.
I was there because I read a blog that was actually good. Which made me realize that my blog kinda stinks.  Can I blog this crap with the this new found information? I know what you’re thinking: (collective yell) What took so long?


WELL I had never read a good blog…that’s what took so Friggin’ long! How was I to know that there is (or are, I've only found one) actually well written, entertaining, informative blogs out there? 100% of the blogs I had read until yesterday are worse than mine.

The Pre-November 16, 2011 Blogs I had read fall into one of these unbecoming categories:

-Look at me I’m awesome blog
(We looked, decided we should be the judge, and moved on)

- Look at me I suck blog
(We looked, decided you were right, became sad, but none the less moved on)

University of [INSERT STATE] Sports Blog
(GO TEAM GO!!... OH NO!! SHIT!! FIRE THE COACH)
*refer back to: I suck/I’m awesome blogs -- there is some overlap
(while blogging may be a therapeutic outlet for your volatile fanhood... I got my own emotional crap going on so just do like everyone else and call your local sports radio show)
Trust me I know what I am talking about blog
(TRUST ME...That unless you have an important prefix [KING, SGT., COACH etc.] 
or distinguished suffix [PHD or IV {<-- Numbers help}] no one trusts you)



Celebrity Inside Scoop Blog
(Occasionally Useful but not worth frequenting)
*exception(s)
What is SHAQ doing right now? 
Why the hell is Jim Cantore in my hometown and should I seek shelter immediately? (should exsist)

You read this only because you had a weird skin irritation blog
(never making the favorites tab)


I want to clarify that a blog does not fail me simply by matching one the listed categories…
With proper delivery and quality substance a blog of any genre could become a “Starred” site for me (less and except the skin thing.. clearly a browser stigma that no one can afford)


I think my blog fits into the category of “Blathering About Generally Blundersome Happenings” Blog
Delivery and quality are suspect. (see look at me I suck)


The "which way do I go" problem hit me when I read a blog that I actually enjoyed. I read weeks and months-worth of posts in one sitting. I realized that at least one person is putting out some reading material that I look forward to. I thought “Maybe I should start a revolution… I could read blogs during all of my free time, Judge them according to my keen wisdom, then leave comments that either: (A) Praise the Blog and Blogger or (B) Critique the content/style and then Ridicule the Blogger and his/her family.” Turns out I am too late because that revolution started many years ago in the dorms of every college campus in zee vorld.  (Damn! really hoped to scratch "Start a Revolution" off my bucket list.)  So with no revolution to lead I think I can continue my infrequent half-assed postings but not before I give credit where credit is due. I stumbled onto this “Blathering About Generally Blundersome Happenings” Blog and it is the best blog that I have read (which is not that big a deal [after all I have only read about 7 different blogs])... none the less it is http://www.jamesaltucher.com/

May be it just caught me at the perfect time and it is not actually that good (see bow-flex and Slap Chop)

Then again maybe it is better than I yet know and turns out to be everyone’s favorite (see Aaron Rodgers and Mountain Khakis)

It is not yet clear to me whether I took the common road or the road less traveled but I feel like ever since that was published... The road less traveled aint so much less traveled... which kind of makes the decision in the woods less spectacular... (6 of one Half dozen of the other)
It is as if the road less traveled by... has lost its charm...
