Banal Blogging Block
Posted: August 31st, 2009 | Author: Jackson James Wood | Filed under: Jackson James Wood | 3 Comments »I know I haven’t been the most regular of writers. I don’t stick to my diet of blogging branflakes like many other bloggers—shitting out gems of blog genius every other hour. To prove just how useless I am at blogging, here is a blog I started about three years ago before I went to China on the VUW politics field trip.
In my defence, one of the main reasons I stopped blogging on jacksonjames was that none of my posts ever posted. It became apparent someone working on the Great Firewall of China deemed my posts inflammatory enough to block. Hooray.
This is a shame. I just looked over my archive of work—saved on a rip-off Sony 8GB flash drive bought for ¥40—and such amazing titles as “Fear and loathing in Beijing”, “Shut up, just drink” and—my fave—”Don’t get a ‘massage’ in Shanghai”, really stand out
So here is my promise to you.
To avoid gmail conversations with Daniel which go like this:
Daniel: You
Blog
Now
You filthy layabout
me: Hey
Hey about you go suck my BIG COCK*
My brain has ceased to function
Daniel: Then blog about that if you have to
Blog about cock
I don’t care
Just say SOMETHING
Tell your adoring fans you aren’t dead
That killjacksonwood@yahoo didn’t get their way**
me: This corpse says otherwise
I will blog at least once a day for the next week.
Maybe you’ll even enjoy it.
*Joke about the horrendously branded energy drink which we were tweeting about this morning.
**During the aftermath of the Lundy500 I got a death threat from said email.
Ohhh, it’s from the people that make “Hemp Energy Drink”.
“Maybe you’ll even enjoy it.”
We won’t. But you better do it anyway.
What a coincidence that the person who sent you a death threat had a ‘killjacksonwood’ email address.
That’s serendipity.
