So somebody stumbled my homepage, for some reason. I’m happy about it— other than the fact that now hundreds of people are coming to a site that is otherwise empty. It’s tagged as humor, but I have no idea why. I really wish I would’ve been prepared for that. Mostly because 50% of the links on the homepage are dead and don’t actually go anywhere. Hopefully UNICEF got some good exposure out of that though, because that and the blog are about the only things that actually had anything going for them.
If people have wandered onto the site and are trying to figure out what the hell they’re supposed to make out of it, this is what you need to know.
My name is Chris.
I am a professional blogger.
I used to be funny.
Now I am the soulless wretch of a man who blogs for money.
When I say that I am a professional blogger, I mean that almost comically. Obviously, if I were actually a professional blogger, I would be writing on this site multiple times a week, doing my damndest to make sure that there was constantly fresh, unique funny content on this page every single day and that people would come back for more all the time. I actually write for other people’s sites.
- I write about video games and movies for College Life.
- I write (and podcast) about social media for Social UI.
- I write about the Utah Jazz for Salt City Hoops, an ESPN TrueHoops blog.
- And I sometimes write about LeBron James on Best Player on the Planet.
However, this is not a site that I actually professionally blog on. This is more or less a place that I come to vent my frustrations with editors, SEO’s and people who try to cheat the system. I’d like to think that I was funny while I did it. There’s no evidence to suggest that I am.
After the lesson I learned this weekend, and the fact that StumbleUpon has a freaking tail so people will be trickling in for a while now, I will try to make this a more well balanced and more frequently updated blog.
