I am not following you because you suck!

Wait… Sorry… that came out wrong…

I guess I could have said; I am not not following you because you suck… But that is a double negative, and it sounds like I am following you, and you do suck.

I could have tried; I am not following you, but you don’t suck… That comes across as condescending and rude.

What I meant to say was that if you are following me, and I am not following you yet, it is not because you suck.

All I really want to say is that I try to go through my list of followers whenever I have a chance, and read a few things, and then I am frequently caught up in your charm and wit and stunningly deep observations and astounding pictures and then I click follow buttons like a court stenographer transcribing th O.J. Simpson trial, and will no doubt end up following you like a love-sick puppy for all the rest of your days.

But not in a creepy stalker kind of a way… oh, no.

(And please, make comments. Comments are a nice way to let someone know not only that you liked something they did, but it is a chance to showcase how deep and clever you are. We all like having our ‘like’ button tickled… oh, yeah… but brilliant comments are the way to get noticed)…

Thank you.

    i’ll comment here just as this post makes us followed guys seem pretty special 😉 but yeah, i only follow those blogs i really feel are special. It does make those award things tricky though when you have run out of people to give awards…

  2. I guess we are extra special when you follow up…kinda like the special sauce on a big mac…

  3. What if I already follow you and you already follow me. Is this good or bad. Should I ignore this post? Should I comment less or more. Are we both Bloring? This is brain explosion material

    I do a similar thing. Too many emails otherwise. I always return comments to people who comment on mine.

    Well I’m just pushed the follow button (not because you told me to and not because you suck). Wait did that make sense?

  6. Pompous ass, yes. But in an endearing sort of way. You do what pleases you and that’s cool. I don’t think you’d be interested in my blog, anyway, and that’s ok. I like yours – a lot – and that’s that. I like the art, Art. And I like the way you write. You had me at, ‘you suck’, Jerry Maguire.

  7. Ok. Now that I’ve figured out who’s following whom, and who sucks and who doesn’t (I think), and I think you like likes, but comments don’t suck either, I will move on to the next blog that I follow and feel the relief of less confusion. But not before saying, it don’t make me no never mind if you follow me or not. I get enough of a kick out of reading your stuff when the mood strikes me, which is often cause you don’t suck. Write on…like you need me to tell you.

    • That is the best attitude ever. I am a pompous ass and you have put me in my place. I humbly apologize. I get so caught up in ideas and trying to be funny. I have this persona as a person who is pretty dumb, and sometimes I live up to it. Nobody needs my advice. I was just feeling bad for not having time for everyone I want to get to know. I don’t know any other way for people to stand out other than to wave.

  8. What you should have said was nothing.

    It is easy to click the follow button, easy to click the like button, terribly time consuming to leave a comment at all the blogs one follows and likes!

    You’ve attained new heights, or depths, depending upon one’s perspective.

    Is this an example of blog whoring, or bloring as the girls put it yesterday?

    I’m trying to think of something clever, but I recently spent time in Alabama. You’re required to turn in a portion of your IQ at the border, and they haven’t mailed it back to me yet. So, temporarily, I may suck.

    You sucked me right in with your humorous post. No choice but to comment.

    You are hilarious. I’m totally not un-following you because you don’t suck.

  15. Dear pmao,

    So let me get this straight – you’re asking the people who you don’t follow but they follow you to make lots of comments on your posts, not just click the Like button?

    Love Dotty xxx
