For a Pessimist, I am Pretty Optimistic

Site News:

1.    New layout – Due to ad formatting changes, I switched from my original black and green two columned theme to this brighter and whiter three columned one. At first I thought it was too cheery and plain, but after I customized the header, it started to grow on me. What do you think about it?

2.    Random Pic of the Day – I felt I needed to do something to bring more humor to the site (especially on days when I write fluff posts or when I write about a “heavy” topic) so I started posting a silly picture everyday.

3.    More posts and updates – I’m trying, trying, trying to see if I can write a post everyday for a week. Once I do that, then I just may attempt joining one of those groups where everyone vows to write a post everyday for 365 days. So far, I keep missing posting on Sundays (I get way too lazy then!)

Collaborations:

1.    Stuart from Secluded Habitat has been kind enough to let me sponsor his monkey, Cheeky, during his International travels. An Australia native, Cheeky is excited to set his sights on the US but all he has on his itinerary is Salt Lake City and then NYC with me. Anyone else interested in taking Cheeky around their town?

2.    Athena from Hot Child in the Suburbsadded me to her blogroll and I couldn’t help but reciprocate.

3.    One of the pics of the day, A Dilemma, was featured on Bits and Pieces.

Funny Comments:

1.    Ok. I’m sure that was taking somewhere in my office. It seems like the kind of thing management would do. - Freelance Guru (in reference to pic of the day: You Are Destined to Burn)

2.    I LOVE when spell-check tells me I spelled my own last name wrong! And being so reliant on spell-check, I always go back and look before I realize that it’s spell-check that is wrong, not me! - keyster94 (in reference to the post “Damn You Useless Yahoo Spellchecker!“)

3.    I want my kid to be just like this kid’s best friend, you know, the one who knew all he had to say was, “I dare you…” - Kate @ All Over the Place (In reference to Pic of the Day: Someone Get This Kid a Snickers)

4.    So SO true about the time-wasting dialogue. Do porn writers get bonuses based on audience frustration? And that’s a great analogy. hahhahahha!– lolli @? (in reference to the post “Random Comparison: Porn and Chicken Wings”) 

Funny Comments from other sites:

1.    I hate it when these things get in the house. Happens to me all the time. (in reference to Pic of the Day: WTF?)

2.    Pedo? So… the male was pre-pubescent? For pedophilia to be an accurate label the object of one’s desire must have not arrived at puberty yet. (in reference to the post “A Near Brush with Pedophilia…it’s not only girls who develop early”) – Um, sorry to disappoint you with the fact that I’m not a pedophile?

Funny Searches:

It’s interesting that these are the most common searches that my site comes up for: sex, porn, Jenna Haze (one of the most clicked tags), pedophilia, Nigerian scammers, black syphilis, gay cat

These really caught my eye:

- i yell at my dad for viewing porn on my laptop and he hits me yahoo answers (I tried to search for this myself, but didn’t come up with anything)

- Pedophilia movie list girl (sounds like an interesting name for a blog)

- my father give me a name (poor guy wanted an Everclear song and got this crazy place instead!)

- cosmopolitan magazine june 2008 issue his g-spot (seriously why, why, why are people bothering to read this piece of crap article –  unless they wanted to see how ridiculous it was?)

- ambien scuba diving (what?!)
