Here’s a link to my first blog post ever:

It’s been fun. I’m tired.

I’m looking for contributors to add essays, rants, articles and stories on a one-off or regular basis.

It will help me think of better stuff to write, too.

Now that traffic is steady (between 1,000 and 5,000 visits per day; 10-15k on a great day) I think it’s time to let others join in.

Anything interesting, funny, exclusive, esoteric is allowed, especially if it’s cynical or misanthropic. Don’t use things i’ve contributed as a guide, i’m pretty much an idiot. I’d especially like funny short stories, short movie scripts, comics, etc. etc. I also like heartfelt or poignant stuff too as long as its not milquetoast.

If you’re at a loss for what to write about follow my simple 4 part system:

1. think of something, someone or somewhere that makes you pissed

2. now make a list of funny ways to insult thing/person/place

3. now concoct reason why said thing is bad for society and an indication that society is full of idiots

4. end with a joke or nice piece of writing

To sign up to be a contributor is simple. Navigate to this page:

Choose a username and enter your favorite email address. Then leave a comment here with your username and i’ll give you contributor or author access. Then you write something. Then I make sure its not gay, and then I print it.

Hey What’s In It For Me?

Look old man I know you live on a fixed income and all but I dont make much money with this site. Well for one, 5,000 people will see something you wrote. Also you can post a link to your website, myspace page, whatever (my homepage is PR4 if that means anything to you).

You can add it to your portfolio if you’re a writer. Crap I don’t know.

If your article becomes popular (I have excellent google rank, so if you write about a popular topic it may become popular) I will give you some money. Probably like $25 or $50.

Also i’ve added this new theme and redesigned things a little bit. A few people hate it but it makes it easier to find older stuff and pageviews are up 200% so I’m guessing some people like it more than the old one.

Thanks for reading. Now help me write some stuff.
