1. I talk about whatever I want. As in I devote whole posts to cute haircuts and excellent white rappers.

| Thrift Shop is #2 ya'll! |

| Shuffling papers, not curing cancer or coaching elites over here! |
3. I like to swear, I like to swear a lot because I think it is funny. I like to create new swearing combinations to amuse myself and my spouse since he has to listen to me all the time.
4. I don't do ads or affiliations or whatevs. Not that everyone is beating down my door, but I guess I don't see the point. I blog for fun and I don't want to think about some company's perception of my blogging style or content. I will take free glasses though, I will take free glasses every damn time!

| I did a track workout once, it killed me. |
5. I am a below average runner and I don't even look cute in little running shorts. I even took 6 weeks off running and didn't even miss it that much. Yeah, I'm that hardcore. I am also inconsistent and can't follow a damn training plan to save my life.
6. I am too lazy and technologically clueless to coordinate any bad ass challenges. I work about 50 hours a week (add 10 more hours to include my commute) and I try to sleep 49 hours a week which means...
Heeeeee
Okay this post was way fun to write.
Do you ever think about what makes a blog awesome?
Why do you blog?
xo,
falon
Haha, I was thinking the same thing recently about my blog. Like, I'm never gonna be cool enough, hardcore enough, mentally stable enough.....
ReplyDeleteI guess I blog for fun - maybe? I think I blog mostly to express myself since expressing myself is a challenge most of the time or at least totally inappropriate.
I think what makes a blog awesome is that it's real. Not always RAH RAH RAH, everything is so great! Look how much I run! A blog is awesome because a real person is writing it and they're just being who they are. Some blogs bug me because the blogger uses so many fucking exclamation points.
Your blog is awesome. The hair helps.
Yes and that blog is yours! I love the variety. I love that I can smile almost immediately and I don't need to take 20 minutes to read your posts. I also drool over your haircuts...
ReplyDelete... but this is what makes it a great blog. I don't really like those ad running/ picture perfect / "I do it all" blogs anyway.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm with you on 3, 4 and 5.
Haha, I love this. The best blogs are always the ones where people write for themselves and not to impress anyone or make any money from it. That's my opinion anyway!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this post! You are the coolest! I am with you on #3! Hee! Creating new curse combos is good fun. :D xoxo
ReplyDeletelol your funny. I enjoy reading your blog :)
ReplyDeleteI have not read this post because I disagree with the premise in you title. It is a great blog. And I'll kick your ass for saying otherwise.
ReplyDeletealso, the "r" button on my laptop keeps sticking. so not "you" title. cheese and ice. or rice. whatevs.
DeleteHaving read the post, I've got one word for you:
ReplyDeleteFATFLUENTIAL. Fuck those stupid ads disguised as blogs and twitter accounts. Oh, wait. Did I just say that? ; ) Me likey the F word.
Keeping it real is what makes blogs awesome. (Case in point). I couldn't be exec asst, I get nervous and frazzled every time I have to chase down our execs for a signature or do a ten min meeting with them hah
ReplyDeleteHAHA....that is why we love you!! I like to try to follow a training schedule, but I end up modifying it like 3 times a week anyways.
ReplyDeleteBelow average runners unite! :)
ReplyDeleteI like blogs that are real. You're real. I like that. I like your blog.
Me, I love the friendships I've made through blogging, but first and foremost my blog is for ME. I like having a record of what I've done, I like being able to relive experiences by writing about them, and I like having the extra incentive to do fun things so I can write about them.
I love your blog. Not that ads or sponsors are terrible, but I find sometimes bloggers get boring once they start shilling stuff.
ReplyDeleteI love a blog that is updated regularly and a running blog that speaks about being burnt out, tired, or uninspired on a given day is speaking my language. :)
Ads and sponsors are the worst. Who wants to make money doing this anyway? :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, and your blog is one of the ones I enjoy! I like real people blogs, not blogs that try to teach me about stuff by inexperienced people.
ReplyDeleteI feel like blogging is so strange. I don't want to be a total narcissist and just write about myself, but I have no knowledge to offer anyone special new workouts or anything like that, so all I can really do is write about...myself. Sad.
ReplyDeleteWhy your blog is a great blog:
ReplyDelete1. you're an excellent writer; witty and poignant.
2. you have accomplished amazing things in your life, and yet your blog never feels like you are boasting or trying to convert people to your way of doing things.
3. You have a good life and are generally happy, this is evident in your blog. But you also aren't afraid to reveal your weaknesses and imperfections. Your blog is the blog of a real person. And that is a rare kind of blog.
Ha! You're my best friend, you have to say all that. Love you.
DeleteNot to mention the countless product reviews bloggers do. Vomit.
ReplyDeleteGlad I am not the only one who feels they are a below average runner. I am who I am and I don't care what others think. Besides I love your blog!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, you do have an awesome blog! Second, the best blogs are the ones where the bloggers are true to themselves and writing and doing what they want when they want….in other words, keep doing exactly what you're doing!
ReplyDeleteHilarious. This blog cracked me up. I think your blog is funny and interesting and you do fun and interesting things. I blog because I like to talk about myself. So....keepin it classy over here.
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny and real, which is why I love your blog! To me authenticity is what really makes a blog enjoyable. As to why I blog? I guess its because I like sharing what works for me when it comes to fitness and food.
ReplyDeleteBahahahaha. Love this! I think that blogs that don't have such a focused agenda are usually the most fun. I like the randomness of a blog. It keeps you guessing.
ReplyDeleteOMG I didn't have you in my Reader! Remedied! Love this post!
ReplyDeleteLove this! I'll never be a full time professional blogger and that is fine with me! I blog for myself and to go back and remember fun times. Love my random blog and I have no intentions of changing it :)
