We All Know I Suck. But HOW MUCH Do I Suck?

Sometimes I find the weirdest stuff when I'm looking for pictures to pilfer from the Internuts.

Sometimes, like yesterday, I find this:

Now I know that my cat Campos is (probably) a Maine Coon, PLUS I now understand the weird little sound he makes.

And today, when I was looking for pictures of Tony Orlando & Dawn, I found this:

It was HIGH-larious, and especially compelling since Maureen Johnson, the woman behind the ten easy steps, is a REAL WRITER. Of books and everything. Not just pretend songs, like, oh, someone I know -- someone who spends her valuable time looking for pictures of Tony Orlando & Dawn. Someone who sucks.

But there -- see how I just did that? That is Maureen's Easy Step #7 --

7. BROOD A LOT ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU SUCK.

I'm learning already!

But that's not why I told you all of that (although truly, GO READ Maureen Johnson's post. From two years ago. It's that good). I told you all of that so I could tell you THIS:

Maureen Johnson is my new secret blog crush, maybe. I think, anyway. Heck, it's been only about nine hours -- whaddaya want from me, blood?! Maureen has started a new Ning site, which is a start-your-own social networking site, kind of like Facebook, only hipper. And more hip. More hippish.  GAHHH, the pressure!

Good little New Media Douchebag that I am, I joined in a flash. Then sat there. Now what? I asked the empty room.

NOW . . . I will be blogging every day in April. Maureen has started a challenge, cleverly called BEDA, to Blog Every Day in April. I sort of prefer BEDIA, myself, but no one asked me.

So this is it. My April 1st blog post.  Like it? Buy it!

Please consider Blogging Every Day in April. And if you do, come join Maureen Johnson and her merry band of bloglodytes, of which I am perhaps the newest and least substantial member. Worship me!

that cat belongs in the zoo, with the other lions. i'd be afraid that cat would smother me in my sleep. it's just not right.

I cannot take on one more thing without my circuits overheating, so I have to decline this challenge, sad to say.

But I had to chime in with a big fat Holy $@(#$&^! That is one GINORMOUS cat.

Blog every day? I considered it, really. Even joined the ranks of NaBloPoMo...I may just get up the guts someday, but not this month. Too much pressure! But I'll read yours every day, I promise.

And that cat is either a freak of nature or the girl is teeny tiny.

[Melanie @ MelADramatic Mommy]

I am so jaded I think everything is a product of Photoshop. I will look forward to your BEDIA and you definitely don't suck.

Brood a lot about how much I suck?

I do that every day without even being asked!

That cat is as big as a ten year old child. Zoiks.

I'm afraid if I blogged every single day it would all just really stink.

But that, of course, will not be the case with you.

[Musing]

THAT is one big cat. lol

[Meg]

CBW - tell me you don't call it a ChimBley. Really? GAH!!

Foolery, honest, you don't suck nearly as much as you think you do. :-)

I'm ignoring the references to yet another new social media site; I'm still getting acclimated to the new Facebook layout.

[Kyddryn]

OK, I'm game. Hey, wait...I already blog every day. Every. Single. Day. Ahhhahahahahahah.....!

I want to do this Foolery, really I do. I still don't understand what a Ning is though. You would think that because you mentioned "like Facebook" I would get it, but maybe the "hipper than" part is just beyond me.
I'm just going to go join. Just join. I'll figure it out as I go...that's how I got into this blogging business after all.

Ning beda gaaahh bloglodytes bedia campos internuts.

You don't suck. I learn a new language every time I come over here.

BTW - You are the ONLY one who gets my jokes. Not sure what that means, from my end I think I'm just plain loco, but nobody gets stuff like viola. Maybe it's because they also say chimbleys?

[MomZombie]

I still don't know how I blogged every day last November. Clearly robots took over my mind. Good luck on that every day thing.

Thank you for that link. I laughed my ample ass off.
