I blog hop sometimes, and I skim through 10 – 15 posts within 3 minutes of each blog that I have not read in a while. I usually read the titles and the first paragraph. However, I am the last person to comment, unless I find something worth my time to read and comment on. It’s not that I have particular interests. On the contrary, I am interested in everything. Everything that can keep my brain active and knowledgeable is what I enjoy the most. The internet is probably the best world wide invention next to sliced cheese. However, with the internet comes two bad things: porn and bloggers.

Yes, I classify my self as part of the bad blogger crew because I was sucked into something that was never defined. What I have been doing in the past 3 years is trying to make something out of it to satisfy my self, and spread my opinions about matters that may effect someone else too. I ended up defining it, and no one else did it for me. The way to blog is not concrete and set in stone. However, many people think they have the ability to make it so. Blogging tips? This is when I draw the line. I know I have done a post in the past about blogging tips, but I strictly wrote it based on my opinion to help personal bloggers start out. I also wanted to post it online because it has been a constant email question. So I did it once. Will I do it again? Probably. Probably not. Something in my blog has to drastically evolve in order for me to come up with new ideas. I have to experience it for my self first in order to tell others about it.

Unfortunately, it is not the case with the majority of bloggers. Around 90% of the personal blogs I skimmed through, they had some sort of help list. Why? No clue. Google ratings perhaps?

Not only that, but many personal bloggers are just reporting the latest gadgets, or new software, or the news in general on a daily note. Why you call your self a personal blogger then? What are you trying to achieve? What is the point of your blog exactly? Do you have an objective? Are you trying different tangents to find that objective? Please, don’t report anything, and maybe try to give your opinion about it instead. Don’t report what others have already reported. No wonder why I don’t read blogs much anymore. I don’t find many personal blogs interesting. Interest me! Entice me to go to your site every day and subscribe! Give me something that is beyond the norm. It is so easy. Probably the easiest thing on earth. Write about your self. Write about your life. It may seem so mundane to you, but it is probably the most interesting thing to someone else. It teaches people about others. Why is it so hard for you to do so? Be your self!

I just don’t get it. Those bloggers, why are they just writing list after list and thinking they will achieve something that is different than anyone else?

I am not trying to make this post sound that I know more than others, or I am trying to give my version of “tips.” No. I am not providing tips hoping you will change. I am TELLING you to change or you will end up with no one reading your blog but your self and your clique of followers who do it in order for you to read their blogs back. They also do the same exact crap as you because all you did is copy their posts and constantly comment with no thought behind it!

I want to read interesting blogs. I want to read about people. I want to know what’s going on in people’s head. Spill IT OUT! Stop being fake, or just copy and pasting crap, or coming up with the same things someone else already did 2 years ago!

Conversation with a personal blogger:

Personal blogger: “Man. Blogging sucks sometimes. It’s too much work.”
Me: “Suck it up! It is the easiest damn thing you can do, and it will stop you from watching porn!”
Personal blogger: “But I like porn. Can I talk about the way it effected my life?”
Me: “You might gain a million audience who think like you. Congratulations. You might be on your way to being a real personal blogger writing what’s in your head instead.”

Disclaimer: This personal blogger is imaginary. The me person is actually me. I was too lazy to come up with someone else because I am so so boring …

Angry, Blah Blah, They said what?, Whatever!

I decided that staying in Canada for the rest of the winter will give me a seizure. It is snowing rain deers and polar bears outside. Yeah you guessed it, there is a snow storm outside. I am in my warm office thinking that it is best to hibernate for the rest of the summer, or just migrate somewhere like Hawaii where there is sun and temperatures above 25c.

I was too lazy to even open the door and take a proper video of this. My window is good enough!

Angry, Blah Blah, Videocast, Whatever!

Hello, my name is Mona. I was vegetarian once for an entire duration of 6 months! Then I was cursed by the wrath of Arab parents for my blasphemous life choice.

I don’t remember why I was vegetarian. I was 19 or 20 years old and naive. It was a fad too, and I was not much of a meat eater anyways. So converting my eating habits to the natural goodness of the earth was not so difficult. At that time, my dad was working in the US, and he didn’t know. My mom didn’t care, because it was more work and time consuming to cook meat. Cooking meat does suck up your electricity bill.

When my dad came back, he noticed that I didn’t eat meat at all. He then said this, and it will keep ringing in my head for eternity, “We are Arabs! We HAVE to eat meat!”

HAVE is a strong word coming out of my dad’s mouth. HAVE = MUST = FOLLOW ORDERS OR YOU WILL BE NAGGED EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE! I am dead serious. This is NOT a joke!

After today’s dinner, I feel like converting and accepting the eternal nagging and blasphemous life choice. Sometimes defying the Arabian thought process is an ok thing. Wasn’t it the main intention of this “spectacular” blog?

So for dinner, my mom made southern style fried chicken. I ate a piece, and then this horrible after taste stayed in my mouth. The more I ate, the more I felt it. The more I dug into that chicken leg, the more I felt something was NOT right. Although it looked scrumptious, I decided that I didn’t want to eat the entire leg. Then I took my fork and dug deeply into it close to the bone. The meat near the bone was not that nice pinkish colour we all know and love. No. It was GREEN! It was horrible, nasty GREEN!

I threw out the chicken and I spent the past hour in the washroom. Yah… I use the term washroom. So Canadian like! Anyways, my stomach is still turning like a blender. So if I don’t post or reply to any email in the next 24 hours, then assume I am dead turning in bed suffering from the after effects.

I think this is the day when converting to vegetarianism (sounds so religious) is the wise choice. :up:

Angry, Blah Blah, They said what?, Whatever!

Nice going Arab Girl!

I LOVE arrogant, lying, thieving Palestinian scum.

Spread `em, Sweetcheeks.

Bonnie

Many of us would start pointing fingers at which religious or cultural group Bonnie belongs to. I would go for Zionist, Israeli, White Trash, KKK, etc. However, if we just judged based on intelligence and the person as a whole, and not be too general in making the final decision, I would say she is dumber than an ape. No, I should not be too generous in giving her that much mental intelligence. I would say, dumber than a gorilla.

Plus, from the way she wrote this comment, and from her Lesbian email address, she was pissed that she almost had hope with me. Then she read my bio and found out I was the evil Palestenian scum. Darn. She must be crying now.

Idiots, They said what?, Whatever!

I am a subscriber to Dooce.com, and I enjoy reading the sarcasm and humour that Heather often writes on a daily basis. However, today she took me by surprise with her racist comments towards a traditional scarf that is worn by Arab men, mostly Palestinians. She posted today in her photo gallery the scarf that her friend wore and described it as a form of “terrosit apparel” and a symbol of Jihad. She obviously didn’t bother to understand what Jihad meant before she posted that. Media brainwashed? You think?

Anyways, when I saw that, my typical Arabian uncontrollable temper and blood started to boil!

I decided not to email her and publicly address the issue, because she abused her internet celebrity power as of today. I doubt she would have replied anyways.

It is funny, because the other day I bought a scarf from this stand, and as I was browsing the collection, I saw many Arabian scarfs being sold. I was a bit surprised, but then I realized that this year’s big fad in clothing is plaid. Maybe she is not into fashion, or knows much about the latest trends. I don’t know how it is down there in Utah and how closed it is from the rest of the world, but ignorance shouldn’t be spread on the internet!

Also, I don’t care if she keeps complaining about Mormons and whatever brain washed idea she grew up with. I lived in Tennessee too for most of my teenage years, and I know how it is down there. However, what puzzles me is the fact that for weeks she supported Obama and talked about the racist problems in America, especially in the deep South, and yet, she wrote that today. So does the fight against racism and change is only towards blacks? I don’t get it.

What saddens me is that her blog is read by many many many people a day, and she is making a living off her blog, and now, she is spreading racist remarks. I am deeply disappointed. Please, bloggers, if you are reaching an internet celebrity power, and making a living off your site, do not go to that route. It is enough that I quit reading blogs such as Problogger and John Chow because of their arrogance and repetitive posts that don’t help anyone but their selfish demeanor in making money.

Although I complained enough, I still like Dooce’s blog, but I wish she stops this racism, and use her internet celebrity power to entertain us like she always did, and not spread hate!

Note: some people pointed out that she was making fun of Dunken’ Donut’s commercial, but the majority like me doubted that was the main intention!

Angry, Confused, They said what?, Whatever!
