 apparently folks, ive been ripping off someone and havent been very keen about it.
someone very very famous.
famous for doing certain things.
like, oh, say, writing the best fucking blog in the whole entire universe.
and england too.
and every time he links me, i skeet skeet all over myself. right after i jump up and down like a damn fool for five or ten minutes. i just cant help it.
i go to check my site meter on that day and see that twenty more people than usual actually read this shit just cuz of that.
which would bring my daily total up to twenty two.
i would be lying out my ass if i said tony pierce of los angeles, california isnt the single biggest influence on my blogging. ever.
and i could never thank him enough for telling me about TSAR, the saviors of rock and roll.
and posting pics of karisa.
but to be blunt, tony fucking pierce is the last person on earth that i thought would be bitching and moaning about what other peoples blogs look like.
because guess what folks, if you read this blog before i changed the url and layout and everything about it a few months back, you wouldnt have read it very much.
because it sucked. hard.
but one day i came across this list of rules.
it was a post. on some blog that looked very clean and neat.
 and it was called HOW TO BLOG. read it, theres a reason why its in all caps. on my blogroll too.
and that single post has been my blogging bible ever since.
i try to follow these rules as best i can but its hard. especially the cry sing fight scream fuck part.
but master pierce's recent rant makes me think that hes not minding one of his very own rules.
lets have a look-see at what tony's rules would do:
8. dont worry very much about the design of your blog. image is a fakeout.
ok, tony. if im not supposed to worry about my design, then why are you doing it for me? holding others to a standard to which one does not hold himself is down right george w bush-like of you, tony.
so now, im really gonna rip off tony. by calling bullshit where i see it.
bullshit.
i like the way your blog looks, and i like my blog the way it looks. if you wanna cry about it, thats not my problem.
my problem is when you think that your astronomical hit counts entitle you to say that every blogger that doesnt capitalize and uses line breaks for emphasis and copies photos from where everyone else gets photos is implicitly trying to live your life. i dont want to be you, tony pierce. i never have and never will. db doesnt either.
you better check yo self before you wreck yo self.
i am represent the east coast, make no mistake about it. la is not on the east coast and neither is tony.
my hometown team wins championships. tony's doesnt cuz he's a cubs fan.
i dont go to baseball games.
i dont get things shoved up my ass. not even by doctors.
i dont do photoessays or podcasts or any of that shit cuz believe it or not, maddox was right about certain things.
i own a car.
and i drive it to work everyday.
tony, i love your blog and i enjoy reading it multiple times a day. the busblog has changed the way i blog, and therefore has changed my life. but the only thing your little bitchfest proves is that los angeles is nothing but a town of egos.
if the blogosphere were the lakers, tony, you would be kobe right now.
so im gonna tell you the same thing db told you.
i wouldn't change for you. not in a million years.
