an ode, 'cos baby i love you

Woke up this morning to revel in the new blog with my Mom and Step Dad. With a first day's revenue of 20 profile views I felt shitty, and expressed those feelings. Step Dad says that's good. Moms is doubting. Now mind you it seems like that's partially a Mother's job -- doubt you 'til the very end, but always have your back should the plan combust. I know, ask these rappers they'll tell you.

Moms was on some other stuff though, talking about how teenager's blogs:
  • A.) Suck balls for lack of useful or interesting content
  • B.) Aren't reliably updated
  • C.) Did I mention suck balls?

So I told Mom two things:

  • 1.) I'm going to have to eclipse your blog for that comment.
  • 2.) I'll show you some decent blogs by YOUNG FOLK. She's right most teenagers do suck at blogging, but I know of atleast one that's good, and loads that are good by people in their early 20's. Let's explore.

I'll keep the list low, since I know most middle aged people will still say these blogs suck, oh well.

  1. The Award Tour https://www.theawardtour.com/, What started off as a small blog to chronicle the adventures of some high school seniors turned into a booming clothing line and lifestyle blog. Check out Loch's different recipe's for heart attacks, and overall mischief.
  2. ThankGodImFamous http://www.thankgodimfamous.com/ A 23 year old Talent Manager with an eye for bucket hats, anything Rihanna, and mango-a-go-go-no-ho-mo. Check out the quirky term 80's Baby.
  3. Lateboots http://www.lateboots.com/ A fashionista's dream blog, run by a team of young and talented 'nistas. Terms such as BEAT, Tipping, and Sick-o-ning.

That's a fairly short list, I could go on. But these are my absolute favorites. I can't live without these blogs, all produced by people under the age of 25. Now why is Mom's hating? Because the blog started out, like facebook, as being a grown folk only thing -- but we kidnapped it.

I'm going to start a teenage blogosphere, put these dudes in check.

Mama, didn't mean to put you down. Actually it would be cool to see more teens in the blogosphere writing and expressing themselves. (smiles)

I, the evil stepfather, do hereby forbid this vile blogging nonsense and I...uh...hmmm...what was I saying again. Has anyone seen my meds?

In all seriousness, dude, I have faith in you. You had a few rather stellar posts I thought when you were still doing the MySpace thing...I'm sure you'll find your stride here too.

And yes, 20-ish hits with your first DAY having the blog is pretty good, man.

Your award tour link is broken, btw. Think it's supposed to be http instead of https
