City bloggin' - here I come!

So yesterday I was “called out” by my friend* MIke. He was mentioning that our city, Fresno, doesn’t have enough female bloggers. After *AHEM* very politely mentioning that I am indeed female and blog it up quite often, he clarified that I write, but I don’t write about where I live. I, of course, have failed in mentioning my lovely town of residence due to an intense fear of identity theft** but that’s okay, I’ll try anything to make people like me. Plus, I’m trying not go into a tailspin of angst that he questioned my gender and be reasonable that he probably just wants to know about all the AWESOME things I do in this lovely little town.

So whatdaya think folks? Should i take this blog on the road? Dare I actually leave my house and see what mischief I can get into at the farmers market? LIve blog the panic that ensues at Petsmart when my dog (a nervous crapper) decides to take the only dump of his life, in the middle isle, right in front of the “try our new brand of dog food” display? There was also that one time where I nearly met my perilous end at Woodward Park when I had a showdown with an evil cannibal goose! How about I amuse you with my tale of woe from the TOO FAST checkout lady at the Vons at Cedar/Shepard who’s pin code to log into her cash register is NO SHORTER than 100 digits. I like to pretend she’s memorized Pi (π)...

That’s a long ass number to which her register cannot process quickly - okay I got sidetracked and this is quite the traumatic story...

Plus, I fear there is representation “South of Sunnyside” and WAAY too many Tower loving elitists straight South, but who’s going to represent the NORTH SIDE? Us vain, shopoholic, trophy wives need to have a voice, don’t we? Well, not that I’m married, but I have manicure and tanning plans which are sure to snag me a man!

City bloggin’ here I come!




*I say friend lightly as we wouldn’t recognize each other on the streets. Well one look at my blog and he might recognize ME, but only because I’ve got pictures of myself everywhere.

** Yes, I know this doesn’t make any sense since my main identity -MY LIKENESS- is plastered all over the place. Please don’t steal me! Actually, in preparing for my inevitable abduction I’ve systematically taken pictures of myself in every possible pose and hair color like those missing children things where they computer analyze bone structure and determine what you would look like in 20 years or if you were trying to disguise yourself. HA FOOLED YOU! Now you know. Oh wait, or is it fooled me because I was the one trying to hide. Damn it!

That's good news. If you don't want to city blog on your own blog, I'll publish your stuff over at FMB. If you want. Only if you want.

Conlan, she's a big girl and can host her own blog. LOL.

Nice first post of your newly re-imagined blog focus. i'm still laughing at the vons checker login thing. i too have marvelled at the skill of such checkers.

Conlan April 23, 2009 at 12:29 PM  

I didn't mean to offend anyone's delicate sensibilities. I just meant, if you didn't want to change the focus of your blog. It's always nice to have options. Unless the options are, like, getting stabbed by a rabid monkey or getting rabid by a stabbed monkey.

"... who’s going to represent the NORTH SIDE? Us vain, shopoholic, trophy wives need to have a voice, don’t we?"

Exactly.

As I told you, I dig your style and your humor, so I'm glad you're jumping aboard the city bloggin' train.

And look at Conlan, trying to get himself a blogopoly.

Hey, if north side blogging belongs anywhere, it's Fresno Magazine!

Coming soon:
Blogger Olympics 2.5: The Civil War.

See what you started, Mike Oz?! That's like two fires you've sparked this week: female bloggers & Fresno Promo video.

Although I dig the Mountain Dew & Chocodile posts, look forward to seeing this new direction.
