Are You Blogworthy?

People are always sending us stuff that they think is "blogworthy." i feel bad when i put it up because i didnt find it, and bad when i dont because it feels like an insult.. well this post is now your very own posting section. heres a place that you can always go back to to post something funny you found and then people can comment on or reply to it just like a regular post. if you plan to become a regular in the comments, just go to intensedebate for a minute and make a profile and picture so no one can imitate you

found a funny video/ ridiculous picture? put it on the blog and await judgement..
(i'm looking at you eugene, liz, conor, shot with sean, anita, charlie, AILENE, casey bros)


kapow!

new comment system

just put in a new comments system. let me know if its working fine for everyone/people like it. i like it because it lets us reply to specific comments and rate comments and lets people comment without having to make a profile (regular commenters can make a profile on intensedebate.com to have their picture included and make sure no one uses their name)

on the other hand it seems to be making the blog load a bit slower and for some reason it does not always load the "recent comments" and "top rated comments" sections in the sidebar, at least in the library's severly unupdated version of internet explorer (honestly, fuck IE though). if this problem persists, well have to do something. plus on old posts you have to use the old system

I also put in a new search function that works much better because it searches the content of posts instead of just the titles like the blogger search does. try it out for a little trip down memory lane (trale luous, trigon, t is for thug lyfe, apple picking with mr. t, just to name a few)

let me know what you think with ye olde thumbs; we can easily go back to the old blogger system or try a new one if we must.

Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down

Added a thumbs up feature to the bottom of each post- you can see the hands below the text here so you just click on one of them. now we can see what people want more of or less of, like or dislike. Then, by clicking on the circled "i" info button you can see the top ratings for the site, your recent ratings, whats hot, etc. use it, the more its used the more helpful itll be.

What Was Your Favorite Album of 2008?

I added a new poll to the left under the recent comments section listing what I thought are the candidates for the best album of the year. Its fucking impossible to choose one so you can vote for all your favorites. If yours isnt on there, mention it in the comments and make a case (I can't edit the poll since someone already voted so arguing will have to do). Also feel free to trash talk whatever album I put on there or other people's opinions: Doodlah is definitely going to take offense that Atmosphere's album didnt make the list

My overall favorite: The Odd Couple- Gnarls Barkley DOWNLOAD HERE
Second Place: Feed The Animals- Girl Talk DOWNLOAD HERE
Third: Another Weekend in the City- Bloc Party DOWNLOAD HERE (Intimacy is good too, just not top 3)

Honorable mention because its just a MIXTAPE not even an album (First Flight coming in 2009): Star Power- Wiz Khalifa DOWNLOAD HERE

I BETTER SEE COMMENTS PEOPLE

Props to my main man, Bill Dawes

Bill Dawes is a stand-up comedian and actor that also happens to have one fantastic blog. He is a hilarious dude and I wholly recommend a thorough examination of everything he has to offer, but a great starting point is the mauling series discussing the finer points of the overt, bordering on inappropriate forms of seduction. I personally have never tried it, but some of my nights have come pretty close.

And he also delves into an unknown territory for males and offers a pretty decent argument about shoes and handbags that, if correct, will mean that Julia will thoroughly enjoy the benefits of marriage.

I also have a self-help piece in the works that should help some of the people that peruse this blog (read: all) that have a problem with procrastination that effects their assignments. Keep your eyes on the prospector.
