in the office

I've posted this picture before, but i like it and i didn't want Cher to be the only one who sees dead people...


after a couple of years of reading blogs and discovering what i like and who and where I'll comment to, there seems to be one common thing about them all. anon assholes. people who pop in and blast out words like slut or bitch. try and leave nasty messages about peoples work and writings.. SSA writes about it this week and fessing up has a comment box full of the shit on her most recent post. what is with that.
i understand that there are web sites dedicated to analysing blogs and writing critiques about them. there are sites like digg it where people will rant about stuff and post links. this is where a lot of the trash heads who enter the blogging world come from. people who don't have many original thoughts of there own or the confidence to write down their thoughts on "paper".
to post something mean anonymously in a blog comment box is childish. (not you denim, you just don't want to come out of the closet yet. i understand.) how much backbone does it take to call someone an asshole or a cunt from the security of your dark little corner in your room at yer grandmas house...
some people delete these comments, some turn on filters to discourage these imbeciles and others engage them. i dunno. i have had some hate mail here in the past. (a long time ago) and wouldn't really care to have any again... why i wrote this down this morning i dunno... but that was this mornings thought. happy wednesday.

I often try the links you post, problem I am finding in the depths of the blogging world it's much like surfing porn. Links everywhere and god only knows where you end up. You can find some interesting shit though.

I had a blog up earlier in 2007 that I was pretty candid in, and some girl came along and said something along the liens of "you think you're so different and unique? Newsflash you're just like everyone else, pretending to be somethign you're not and its pathetic."

I realized then that people were reading my blog that I didn't want to, and I deleted the entire thing on the spot. It was a brash descision that I now regret, and will never let happen again.

Fuck everyone. It's my writing. My thoughts. My life.

Thanks for pimping out my blog ;) tell your friends to come say hello! :)

- Cha0s.

well the shit under photographers i like is mostly nude photographers. misconstruuuued as porn when at work. and i generaly try not to look at porn at work, because of all the nude photography i look at and purchase while on the clock...

it was really tough in the beginning of blog world for me to find anything worth reading, or that i liked and it has taken a while to get good daily reads out of SOME people. you all know who you are, being lazy, too tired, good mood, flu, whatever to type down a few bits of joy... hahahahaa!

glad to hear that you look at some of the link though... thanks for the comment.

INNER VOICES said...

cha0s! slipped in while i was commenting back to hntr... welcome back!!! glad that you didnt mind the link and the pimping! really enjoy your writing and candidness and agree with you 110% on the "Fuck everyone. It's my writing. My thoughts. My life." thoughts... right there with you... thanks for the comments and wondering if you sell any of your work? but i'll find out more from you over at your page...

INNER VOICES said...

Hey sweetie, just because I was uncertain and deleted a whole lot-o-stuff, does that mean I'm in "that" catagory? I hope not. Please don't crush me because you know I'm so sensitive.

And please forgive me, but I have to talk to Recyled Chaos for a minute b/c I was too chicken to comment on her blog. Recyled Chaos, you write so beautifully. I read probably 10 or 11 posts and each was unique and poetic. If you look at my blog you will never believe that I love your blog, but I do. I hate the objectification of women, but you aren't even close. You know who you are and know what you love. There is a huge difference between making love and having sex and there is a huge difference between porn and personal discovery. I like you a whole hell of a lot and I know I'm not alone (because Cecile does too!!!). Not because of the sexual overtones, but because of the beautiful way you express yourself and your poetry. You'll laugh, but I could never be you because I have a zillion other interests, but I adore that you know who you are and know what you want and write about it so eloquently. Good for you sweetie. Keep writing and I'll keep reading. You might want to go to my blog and click on the link to Floots. He's a poet in England and just absolutely lovely. One thing to remember however, he writes then erases within a few days, so you have to be on your toes all the time, and if you like something, print really fast! In addition, so many of his friends are poets and brilliant writers, you'll see. I was going to introduce you to all of them, but I think perhaps you should have the honor of introducing yourself. You belong there. Trust me. The subject matter is different, but the words are beautiful.

And Inner Voices, thank you. Without your introduction, I would never, in a million years, even ventured to read Recycled Chaos. Never. Thank you. You see, I'm growing. I told Cecile today in an email, I'm thinking outside the box and learning to view life with a wider brush stroke. No, I still don't like everything here and blur my vision (a lot!), but I'm looking, and that matters. I also told her I never know what bomb to expect when I come here and of course today I get to see a vigina sofa (that was really amazing!). Good God! Will it never end? I told her I thought you might be turning the corner after the past few posts, but I think we agreed you probably wouldn't!!! Nope!

One more thing I must say, or I wouldn't forgive myself. The fact you only grace blogs you love compells me to say..."THANK YOU!!!" Honey, I know I am not your type, nor your cup of tea, but the fact you stop by and keep kicking over that damn antique urn makes me smile. I love you too, but will admit, you're kinda wacky! I give you a hard time, but there is something very special about you and I'm grateful you're in my life.

Love you,
Suze (aka Frank! Of course I was paying attention!)

p.s. Cheese, love you too, so no need to worry!

cher said...

lets see the interier of your truck!

INNER VOICES said...

suzanne! dont be a goose. im gonna print your really nice comment over there in cha0s-ville. what you said was more that nice, and the off chance she never comes back here is a big one! and as always thank you for the comment and all the nice words... its like yer shining up my armour... i like it dirty and dented... smelly too. but like i said thank you very much.

cher, i'll try to get some more real life pics... im on an older computer at work with no usb "ports" so plugging a camera in is a fucking nogo... and cheese runs a mac on dialup so doing anything from there is wicked hard too.

Suzanne said...

Hi sweetie, thank you. I like shining something, usually it's just polishing the unsued silver around this joint! I am a goose. Thanks for making me a gander. And thank you too for sending my words over yonder. She's a gem, isn't she? I just didn't have the guts to write on her blog, but know Cecile did, cuz she's one hell of a lady.

I talked to Cecile tonight via phone and will bury this comment here in hopes no one but you see's it. She's being harassed by bbc. My hubby's a lawyer and is concerned. He gave her advice, but I don't know what will happen. bbc sent her a very pornographic pic via email. Absolutely inappropriate. Rob has informed her to write a Cease and Desist letter. If that doesn't work, I expect all of us to just run him off the planet. I mean it. Cecile is the most amazing women I've ever met and to be harassed by an idiot just kills me, so I expect all her friends to come to her aid. I am so fucking serious. I refuse to allow him to hurt her. I know you feel the same. I'll keep you informed. You may have to delete this simply because it may reveal more than we should reveal.

I love you dear. And thank you for appreciating the little stuff!

XO Suzanne

Suzanne said...

I come here for protection. Isn't that funny. Yes I have tears in my eyes, but knew you would understand. Cecile had to deal with somthing bbc did and it wasn't pleasant, so I dealt with it. Not pretty. So here I am. I knew you and Ms. C would welcome me with open arms, so here I am. I guess I just need a hug. I don't know what's wrong with people, I just know I love my dear friends and would do anything to protect them. If I'm ever in need, I hope you run to me.

XO

INNER VOICES said...

everthing is going to be fine im sure... remember its the internet, people cant hurt you physicaly here...

Suzanne said...

I know, but they do damage.

Secret Agent Squid said...

yay, you linked me!
i get tired of the pettiness a lot. I guess people don't like manners very much, I mean...I ignore the "it's not nice to cuss" rule, but other than that I think manners are important, even in lalainterwebia.
like chaos, I write for me, and as I wrote in one succinct post (probably the ONLY succinct post), whoever takes issue can piss right off.

INNER VOICES said...

SSA! you have had a link here for ever... just now snooping around eh? good.. piss-biscuit? i like it... as in sometimes people can be a piss-biscuit... nice...

Suzanne said...

Yey, what about me? Apparently piss-biscut has priority.

Go figure.

Frankly, I like that we're still down here.

INNER VOICES said...

suzanne, there has been a link for you on the side bar for a long time as well!
