Over the years I have unsubcribed from a lot of blogs.
Some were just plain boring.
Some were annoying.
Some made me want to rip out the bloggers throat via their anus.
Which is pronounced A-Noos in my head.
Bloggers as a whole have pretty fucked up lives. Hell, that is why we are hiding out on the internet. A place to whinge and whine and tell everyone your woes cause gaddammit our friends and family that are still speaking to us are all OMG GET OVER IT ALREADY!
Like Country singers, we can’t write unless Noelene left us for the barkeep at our local bar and the dog lost it’s leg in the door of our run down trailer.
Clearly, I don’t listen to much Country music.
Yeah, I have a point. My point is the internet needs to buy me a house.
Cause it seems that if you want something you just whine on your blog and someone will buy it for you just for the linkback.
Car broken down? The internet will buy you a new one!
Spent all your money on hosting and internet and booze? The internet will buy your groceries!
Want a puppy? Yup, done.
Couldn’t be bothered cutting your own toenails? The internet will hook you up with someone who will come and cut those badboys and then make you a sculpture out of the clippings so you can sell it on Etsy.
Can’t afford to pay your bills? No problem, the internet will set up a linky fund-raising party in your honour! OMG it will be So. Much. Fun. Everyone!
Want to go on holidays? Just name the date.
Raising money for your favourite charity? *crickets*
I make money from my blog. I am not ashamed to say that. Actually I rub it in MPS’s face nearly every damn day and be all ‘well does YOUR hobby PAY YOU? No? Well then shut the fuck up and go and do the dishes and earn your keep.’ I have ‘network’ ads and private sponsorship {BTW wanna be part of my awesomeness and sponsor this blog? I am pretty sure that sponsorship makes you even more awesome by osmosis or some sort of physics lingo… contact me here, cause I have the sexiest sponsors in the WORLD} and while it aint much it is still something and my hobby is fucking paying me SO TAKE THAT MPS and go and unclog that sink.
It is hard to get good help.
When I started blogging my dream was to have someone read and then maybe subscribe to my feed and then come back. To have someone to share my madness with, cause GOD KNOWS my family are sick and tired of my whining. So the fact that I am getting a little bit of money on TOP of the community is fucking awesome.
And this brings me back to my point. It is perfectly fine to complain on your blog, that is what they are for. It is practically expected to bitch about something or wail that everything is so unfair.
Hell, I will even forgive one very thinly veiled ‘oh I WISH I had this but sadly I cannot buy it because I need to buy a few kids from Indonesia and build up their lung function cause my dog needs a transplant, oh how I wish I had a fairy GodBlogger that would buy me an*insert latest status i device here*!’ once in a while.
But that is my limit.
You keep up that shit and I am outta here.
And I might just email you and ask for your address cause I have something special for you.
Yeah, I am starting an Etsy shop of sculptures of fucking bloggers that think their readers should financially support them trachea’s that have been liberated from their bodies via their A-Noos.
{and before any one gets their fucking knickers in a bunch go back and read the post and realise that I am talking about people blatantly REQUESTING financial support when they have no damn reason to. NOT when awesome peeps get together to help out someone in need. Also, if you wrote about something similar to what I am talking about in the last few days I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU cause I have not had time to unsubscribe from read your motherfucking blog. Fuck.}

I’ve seen some pretty awesome support for people who actually needed help, but I do have an issue with people who literally put ‘Tip Jar’ widgets on their sidebar. WTF!!
Just looked @ your profile and noticed that mistress wasn’t there.
Man, I will work with the cashed up companies. Bring that shit on. But that is it.
PS Can I live in your house with you? We can spoon?
as long as you are the spooner and you don’t dutch oven.
That shit is nasty.
AMEN. A-FUCKING MEN.
Shit. AMEN.
I would like a life size sculpture please. Can I commission one? I will pay for it by whining on my blog.
Life sized sculpture of ME, obviously…
Mine earns nadda, squat, SFA. Guess that could be because I don’t have adds and shit. And that’s the way I like it… for now.
LOVE how you tell it, hope message is received loud and clear!!
It’s a definite turn off when people blatantly ask for items. But you do know now that I will be saying-anoos!
and you have to pay me royalties every time you say it.
Why do people need donations? I get the whole “its expensive for blog upkeep”. But if you can’t afford it, dont do it…or try blogger..its free and stuff.
I get annoyed too with people asking and even demanding for cash and items. Maybe it’s the new online begging?
“will blog for food,cash,bills paid”.
It is a hell of a lot cheaper than any other hobby I know of!
I had a comment, but then I got stuck on the image of you and Mrs Woog spooning…..
*snigger* I must admit MPS did too…
Like Veronica said recently, blogging used to be about stories, where are the stories?
Also I want the rich bitches house from Revenge.
I haven’t seen it… too busy watching All the Housewives of All of the Places.
well that is probably a good thing. I recommend waiting till the whole season of Revenge has finished then watching it all in one hit because this waiting around to see what happens is killing me.
Hang on just a second here….if the internet is going to buy you a house, then I want one too. Single storey, wrap around porch, three bedrooms, (so I can have my favourite bloggy friends to sleepovers), and air conditioning. Oh, and it has to be in Adelaide, so I can still get to and from work without needing a private jet.
one of those gorgeous houses with the stone edging stuff? I fell in LOVE with them when I visited last.
I keep asking the internet for a car and a house and a clothing allowance, but alas, the internet has not delivered. It has delivered a few small things for me to review, but very little money. I guess keep doing what you’re doing, because you’re doing better than me if you are actually making money from your blog.
Why don’t you ask the Internet for an iPad? You have no shame in asking me to buy you one every other day.
It’s Moo! Awesome. You are as cutting as your mama. Must be like verbal kung fu fight in your house sometimes.
Also if you loved your mother, you’d buy her an iPad. She gave birth to you after all.
That is exactly what I keep telling her. She OWES ME. And she gets a staff discount.
Well if the interwebs won’t buy me a motherfucking car then you can’t have a house
Well okay. You can have a house… but I need a motherfucking car.
will you be big spoon or little spoon?
little of course… cause I am a tiny little delicate flower remember?
I read all of this twice and the comments and you know what I thought?
I really want a kitten.
Sorry, not gunna be much use to anyone until this kitten cluckiness is dealt with.
I miss the kitten link on your site! :-p
Good Googs http://www.goodgoogs.com/277365-floyd/ and Beet, http://robecriluto.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_0755.jpg keep those kitten pictures coming!
we have a new shoulder kitty pic on my fb today ess
lol
I complain all the time and all I get are bots.
you need another o.
Cause boots are fucking awesome.
Yep – I’d have ads if I thought for one minute any of them would be keen on associating their product with a blog about a sad, crazy, “I see dead people” widow … but that’s it.
… but then really, all I need is a place to let the crazy out of my head. …and to write stuff about my dead boy so its in a place where I can’t lose it.
I could do with a new trachea, mine is faulty. And can I house-sit your new place while you’re on holidays?
Day-um, you saw me demand someone build me that gorgeous house on the ABC show tonight…split level, wrap around porch, seperate guest house and enough lawn to hide the bodies.
I refuse to spoon….I’ll allow you your own room
You can ask for things in the internetz now?!
Fkawesome I’d like some sleeping pills and a bottle of scotch to wash them down.
Kthxbai!
God I love you. Seriously.
All I’ve ever really asked the internet for is a pony. And loads of dogs. But come to think of it a house and property to house them in would be nice too …
Could you be more awesome! Seriously..
And one other thing, do you think the internet would pay to finish off my house because that’s the only freakin’ way I’m ever getting in it……sigh…..
thing is what I really want is another coffee.
But it’s late. It’s nearly 11pm.
So unable to resolve this dilemma, I’m fuffing around on facebook.
You know the wikipedia guys raise something like $7million in three days. And they don’t even write their stuff – It’s all guest bloggers. I’m thinking just get the house. sod it.
I know. I mean, i’ve been dumbfounded by this before.
But then, when I was in need earlier this month to pay for a cremation, the interwebz dumbfounded me in a much more serious way and paid for it.
Gave me faith in people again. Or something.

are you friends with bob?
I want my husband to build me a house just like that so I can move out of Le Shed (again).
“Write without pay until somebody offers to pay you” ~ Mark Twain …is what I do.
{I nicked that off someone’s header.}
I don’t get as many offers as I’d like to keep in the style to which i desire nor do I ask for Internet for anything unless it is a question about what flea treatment to buy ( my puppies I got off Facebook)
Thief!
It’s ok, I nicked it from Mark Twain
2yrs into this blogging dealio and only now I find out I can ask for shit? Man I’m so slow. I’ll take a house. I’m even willing to spoon. Though really I’d just be pretty happy with a someone to finish the damn bathroom my other half started nearly 2yrs ago so I don’t have fat fricken spiders land on me in the bath because the ceiling isn’t edged. Oh and Christian Bale (Batman variety not the creep Machinist dude) to provide me back rubs. Do you think someone could FedEx all that to my door? Thanks, Blogosphere you’re tops
Please Please Please Kelley will you Say YES when James PacMurdoch Sends His Super Flying Machine to your place & BEGS you to do a DAILY “morning rant & rave” SHOW via Satellite from your bed/lounge/wherever you are comfy…. Because then EVERYONE gets to share the AWESOME MORESOME
EDICTS your brain EMITS.
Love you Love your blog Love xxxxx
The donate button on blogs shits me to tears. If I’ve downloaded something useful from you, then yes, maybe I will cough up a few rusty pennies…
I asked for stuff on my blog the other day. Then told my husband he needed to go read my post. You know, so he has time to order everything in by 28th Feb
Are you the spooner or the spoonee?
Well, you don’t have to worry about me begging on the Internet. All I want out of life is a comfy chair, a bottle of good rum, and an occasional blow job. Of course, once I retire that all could change … blow jobs are expensive.
I know… MPS can’t afford them.
Awww, I’ve been off the grid a while and I have MISSED your sweetness and light so! You just made me sort of snort and guffaw. Good thing I wasn’t drinking.
A-MEN! I had to unsubscribe from a blog not long ago when the blogger was begging for donations to take her child to a theme park. Seriously.
that is the kind of shit I am talking about. And they are begging for shit all the damn time!
I just want a Nanny. I will even sleep on the floor so they can have a bedroom. Oh, BTW, now I need carpet so I can sleep on the floor so the Nanny has a bedroom.
I was also thinking, if you’re asking for a house, you should probably ask for one of those Robot Vacuum’s too, so that you don’t have to do nary more than lift your feet as it quietly whizzes past you.
Actually I’ll have a Nanny, carpet, and a robot vacuum. That is all.
Oh what the hell. A whole mother of a tropical island would be good. To house my Nanny, carpet and robot vacuum.
LMAO at this.
And added robots to my list.
So I did well rebooting my blog this year then?… now I know to work on a list of things to beg for. I guess looks don’t matter on the net, like out there in the world where I’m dying for a new job. Can’t just go and ask. Now what should I ask for? I think a house, boat, car, overseas trips back to my roots and most of all to stay at home like many bloggers. Oh and let’s not forget a much slimmer body
Nobody told me I could ask for shit!!
I’ll take a fancy new refrigerator first, please. Wait…let me do it right…
OH! WOE IS ME! My kids are suffering because my 10 year old fridge is no longer making crushed ice…it only has…GASP…CUBED ICE!! Please help me, oh blog readers….I shan’t make it much longer without the crushed ice…. I’ve set up a paypal account….
hehe
FRIDGES MAKE ICE!?!
Who knew? Now I want one.
Actually… come to think of it… the internet got me a house… with a pool… and a bath that is a spa… and a home theatre room… and it has carpet in the bedrooms… and I have a robot to vacuum that carpet that I can watch whiz past from my recliner in the home theatre after drinking cocktails by my pool.
I loves the interwebs!
of course I won’t own the house, but I does get to live in it
Yes I know. I’m a bitch and you hate me
before this post I didn’t know how much I now want a motherfucking robot vacuum.
Whinge, whinge… I WANT a tip jar on MY blog and I want people to put HUMONGOUS tips in it. SO THERE!
You are pretty fortunate to have a sponsored blog- but it’s insufficient reward for your awesome bloggability!
[Go to my blog anyway at: http://murfomurf.wordpress.com - I'm supporting DonateLife Week 2012 with a FilmLife Challenge post: http://www.donatelife.gov.au/ ]
LMAO at pgoodness!!
Dear Internetz,
I would like Ryan Gosling and Casey Affleck.
It doesn’t matter what they’re wearing.
That is all.
Thankyou.
What, you aren’t allowed to ask for people? Lousy stinkin internetz…
You speak the truth. I am so over people straight out asking for stuff and THEN GETTING IT! You can also get robot floor washing cleaners as well. I’m gonna save up and buy both the vacuum and floor washing robots myself!
If you ever run empty of woe-is-me bloggers playing the pity game and guilting unwitting slack-jaws into buying them shit (/facepalm that is never going to happen) I would happily toss you a few Facebookers and even some handy dandy neighbours who would look smashing sans-trachea.
In fact, hook me up with some shop space and I’ll sculpt some plushies out of the other non-trachea bits and we can post them to the remaining pity bloggers asking for shit as fair warning of what’s to come.
That came out slightly more homicidal than I intended but since I’m posting it anyways it obviously has little impact.
Thanks for the great reads
