What have I been
up to? That’s a really good question. An excellent one, in fact. (Cue crickets
chirping.) I’ve been working on a book. That is, when I’m not obsessing about
the pup’s diet.
Or his attire.
Or spending time
watching entirely too much TV…solely for the purpose of studying story
development, of course. At this point, I have a PhD in television time suckage.
It was Justified.
Or photographing
an unruly bunch of critters for the holiday book that we do every year for our
nieces and nephews.
So, as you can
see, I’ve been very busy (just go with it).
And yet, that
hasn’t stopped a certain d-bag delinquent from spamming my blog. Every day.
Like it’s his job.
That’s right,
Anonymous, I’m talking to you. You, by some diabolical computer program, has
ensnared my innocent, quiet blog in your sticky marketing web. I’m not even
sure what you’re peddling, as all your ineffective, spamish words point to some
product or service that has no tie to anything relevant about anything I’ve
written about (or, um, not written about). There’s a reason I have to moderate
my comments before they’re posted, and that reason is you.
I’m here to tell
you, Anonymous, that your come-hither product blather is indecipherable. Your
prompts to check out your website, lackluster. Your marketing gimmick,
impotent. As such, I’ve clicked on nothing, not one of your links. I’ve posted
not one of your generic comments. You, Anonymous, can suck it.
And as far as those
page views you’re generating for me when I’m not publishing a single word in
new content, Anonymous? Well…um…
Yeah.
Ok, I’m just
rethinking some things here on the fly. Some positions that I’ve taken might be
a little hardline, a bit too unforgiving. Hope I haven’t offended you too much,
Anonymous. I mean, when I say, “suck it,”
what I’m really trying to say is Thank You.
