Let's Blog Some Shit: Volume 2

(So you may or may not be privy to the reasoning behind my blogging absence, i.e. a laptop that went kaput and a camera that is no longer in my possession, but these things will be solved very soon. Due to my bestie's generosity, I'll be gracing you with my awesomeness once more. But in the meantime, I am going to keep on keepin' on. I know my presence is wanted...nay, needed...in your life and I am happy to oblige. I'm just super giving like that. Unfortunately, I can't give you pictures with all of my fabulosity and general greatness but I can still blog some shit. That's what we're doing today.)

disclaimer: there are swear words.

So, it's "Let's Blog Some Shit" Volume 2. And I had to do some inner debating before this post. I received a comment on my vlog the other day from someone saying that they were truly disappointed in me for "swearing". A total stranger is truly disappointed in me. I'm sorry, do I know you? How is someone so personally invested in someone they don't even know, enough to be "truly disappointed" in them? I'm disappointed in my kids for not listening or my dog for busting through the screen door; not people I read on the internet! Well regardless, this still really bothered me...for all 5 seconds. At first, this made me feel bad that I had offended someone. Obviously in a "Favorite Products" video, the intention is not to offend anybody. It's not exactly a "hot" topic with much room for angering someone. Or so I thought. Still, somehow I did and I felt bad...until I thought about it some more. (here comes the rant)  



Ya know, if I tried to please every single person with my blog/vlog, I would attempting an impossible feat. It just isn't realistic to please all the people on the internets. I would be unwise to try. So how do you blog "correctly"? What's the right way to do it? There isn't a "right" way. You should blog for yourself; as yourself. If you aren't blogging as yourself, it isn't your blog; it's everyone else's. So I didn't make that video with a specific person or demographic in mind. There are simply too many different people out there for me to target them all and hand-craft a video just for them. Nor would I want to. I made that video as myself and I made it in the way I would speak to a girlfriend, my sister, my husband. And, I "swear" on occasion. That's me and that's what I do. 


I am sorry if I offended someone because that wasn't my intention and I don't feel good by upsetting someone but you can't apologize for who you are. If we changed ourselves every time someone had issue with some part of us, we'd be picked to pieces and none of us would remain. My readers/viewers are are not children. I'm not writing a children's blog. I'm talking to adults and I said the word "asshole". That's it. I can't promise it won't happen again. In fact, this post is entitled "Let's Blog Some Shit". I don't want to lose readers because of 2 simple words I chose to use, I really don't. But with that said, I'm going to continue to use those words because those are words I use and if it's offensive to you, I'm going to just have to say that maybe my blog isn't for you. I'm not dropping F bombs and I'm not speaking with nasty or crude references or innuendos but I do say "asshole" and I do say "shit". I'm not the first; I'm not the last. That's who I am, and that's who I'm going to continue to be. Maybe it's not your cup of tea and I respect that but this blog is what it is.

I'm not one to go off on some wild tangent and I don't want to use my blog for rants. Sure, I have plenty of opinions and I get frustrated about things but my blog is not the place for it. My blog is for fun and I don't want to turn my hobby into a negative. I just want to put it out there that I love all the comments you guys leave, I love all the relationships I've gained, and I love all of the opportunities that blogging has given me and I don't want to lose any of you guys as readers. But my blog is me. If we all blogged for the masses, we'd all be repeating one another, we'd all be robots, we'd all be redundant. We're all unique individuals and our blogs should be too.  I'm never going to be one of those  "Heeey guuuys! Happy Monday" kind of bloggers/vloggers because that's not the kind of person I am. I tried to be in the beginning because everyone else was and I hated my own blog. If you can't even like your own blog, what's the point?


So half of this "rant" is to declare that I'm sorry to have offend anyone, it's unfortunate, but I'm going to continue to be me. The other half is to say to everyone else, keep being you. I guess I was kind of blindsided by the comment because I honestly didn't think twice that I might offend someone. It didn't even cross my mind when I made/posted the video because I wasn't aware that I had even done something that might be considered offensive. But there is always that chance; there's probably going to be someone offended by this post, too. I've never received a negative comment so it was a major shock and for a second I started to doubt myself and my blog. 1 single comment, did all this. So I'm saying to all of you other bloggers out there, don't let that one negative comment give you even one second of doubt. You wrote it because you thought it and that's you.  I don't want to offend or lose any of my readers but I also don't want to edit myself or second guess myself for every 1 of 500 some-odd readers and neither should you! You will never win if you do. So keep being you, no matter who that is.(end rant)


So after all that preaching (which I never want to do again...Girl, I got some 'I Dream of Nene' to watch!), let's get to the real reason for this post! Some shit; little bits and pieces of the internet that have appealed to me in one way or another. Enjoy!
