About the blog

This is not a “Cat Blog”

I feel like this needs to be said:  This is not a “Cat Blog.”

I just happened to write a few posts about my cats, but this is definitely not a general purpose “Cat Blog.”

I don’t even like cats (in theory).

This is NOT a Cat or Pet Blog. Stop sending photos!

Typically, I’m going to write about serious, intellectual subjects. Like Marx, and Freud, and the “money shot” in porn.

Okay, well maybe I won’t go that far but I assure you it won’t be about cats in any capacity.  Mostly, I’m going to write about writing, the adventures of me and Bean Machine, and a random spurting of opinions on news, culture, entertainment, and whatever strikes me as funny.

Your emails are literally clogging up my server space.

So, for those of you who keep emailing photos of your various pets to me, please stop this madness.  I am not interested.

Specifically to Ms. MXXTY_CAT13 (really? Were there 12 others who wanted that name?), I think what you do with your cats is illegal in several states, and I really don’t think you should be showing those pics to anyone, especially me.

To Mr. hd8awg (I don’t think you fully grasp the concept of using numbers in words), why do you think I am going to post your 35 page “articles” about the love affair between your pet lamb, Sue Wheat I think you call her, and your Australian Shepperd named Ralph?  Do you see guest posts here?  Do you see articles with emoticons embedded in them?  Do you see “Fun little numbers about the love our animals teach us to share <3″ at all on this website?  Also, when people use the word “number” they mean song.  Was that a song, hd8awg?

In general, I really do appreciate the time you guys are taking to submit these articles and personal letters, and poems, and epistolary short stories, and metaphysical abstracts (no, I didn’t read it, aanmyuori) to me, but this has all been a horrible misunderstanding.

There are enough of you, that I would encourage one of you to start your own website.  Then you would all have a place to call home and you could spend your time enjoying all things cats.

A new look

The other website I had looked and felt heavy. The links weren’t perfect, the formatting wasn’t perfect, and the idea I had for the layout wasn’t perfect either.

My main goal for this site is to have very few postings like this one: where I write about writing a blog, and everything gets ironic.

I’m happy with the way this one looks, though. What do you think?
