"I Find the Most Erotic Part of a Woman is the" ... Ah, Forget It!!!
No one else has said it so I will. This whole blog thing is getting old. Face it when those old foggies over at First Things have a blog you know its not cool any more. I mean it was one thing when it was this gay guy and don't forget this gay guy, but now strait people and democrats have blogs. Not to mention a quite lucrative porn blogging group. What has driven me to this rant is that my a fellow graduate student here has linked to me on his blog. My problem is that his blog is good. Its about philosophy, logic, and stuff that will help him get a job. My blog is mostly jokes. So I have come to a cross roads, and I was wondering if any one cares. In general most of the TAC grad blogs are dying. Sean, Koobs, Feil, Emma have not bloged in a long while. Emma has not blogged since summer, and let us not forget Marian's abandonment of us. On top of that the comments have gone away too. I mean its only so long you can write without some feedback. I am not saying that what I write is all worth commenting on, but when it isn't tell me. I try to tell Danny every time he is full of it. (Like when he started making metaethical points and tried to pass them off as ethical points, I mean the nerve of it!) If you don't give a rat's ass about what is in this month's issue of the New York Communist tell me (good magazine by the way, I suggest April 04). So I have one idea to save my blog. Going high brow, i.e. blogging so that I can contribute to my chosen career. Does any one want my blog to become a clearing house for my random philosophy papers? The problem is, I can't justify a blog as a message board, (and this works just as well) and I have no idea what the hell this damn blog is about now. I mean do I want it to be a fine arts thing, a philosophy thing, a religion thing, a political thing, or a sick joke thing. All I know is that this one's for the Gipper.

ummmmmm yeaaaaa, I think it would be ok if you kept away from the dildo thing and promised never to post a philosophy paper except in danny's comment box to correct him.
I totally smell what your stepping in, and i'm half tempted to throw my hands in the air and say screw it. I say screw it; i'm not trying to get a book deal; i like to keep in touch with my friends, and this seems like one of the easier ways even if they or I don't keep it up that much anymore. It's a helluva lot better than trying to call everybody and get caught up with them. Besides, i have enough of those kinds of friends who don't blog and ive given up calling them all together.
I would say stick with politics and religion, with that rapier wit in your occasional post on some type of art.
Don't be a sean denicola who kills his blog, but can't stay out of the blog world with his random comments from time to time. I know you're reading this right after it was posted happy!
Post script- if you do just quit, don't leave it sitting around to be hacked like jack's:

Everyone I know goes through the same ups and downs with their bloggy...yes, no, screw it, I'm an idiot, funny, not funny, deep, pseododeep, why aren't there comments, etc, etc...I know how it goes, and you will probably change your mind over and over again...but a blog is better time spent than a lot of other things..
Its just a blog, do whatever you want. Do it all. Post the papers--some of us would fo'sho' read them. Post whatever else strikes your fancy. Like, totally be unconstrained by artificial boundaries man...
I check yours and almost all the TACers blogs pretty damn regularly...but then I am a freak...
I am not at all sure what I have started here, but I feel the urge to make excuses.
