Nathan Exposed » The Blogger D-List

The Blogger D-List

Like the boy bands of yesteryear, or the hooker on the street corner who’s looking a little too old, I feel I’ve entered the dreaded d-list of bloggers.

You never expect to be there, and it sneaks up on you quietly. But once you’re there, you know it. You look around at the other d-listers and nod to one another. In fact, I was chatting with a fellow friend and blogger yesterday, and I think we both knew our fate.

So how does someone get on the d-list? Maybe they post one too many articles about dust bunnies, or wait 25 days between posts. Maybe they ramble on and on about the same old shit.

At first, you’re in denial. You reminisce about the days when you were bringing on your A-game, posting hilarious topics that were witty and bold.

My best posts were the ones that were a little rude, a little sarcastic, and sometimes a little off the wall. But I’m not rude anymore. In fact, I have no desire to be cruel or catty. Thus, I lost my pizazz. Sure, a nice blogger makes the world a better place. But who cares? People like drama.

Maybe I should start a feud with a fellow blogger. Hmmm…. who should I pick? I guess I could write someone’s name on a piece of paper and piss on it… Oops, someone’s already done that.

Hmmm… maybe I could sleep with half the other bloggers in North America. Oh wait… someone’s already done that too.

Here’s one - PEREZ HILTON IS GAY!!! There, I outed him. Yep, it’s true. He’s a flaming homo, hiding in the closet.

But, I LIKE the boy bands of yesteryear. A lot. That was some great music. I’m not so sure I’m with you on this. I think I would agree that blogs and people go through seasons. We move in and out of topics, photos, videos, serious, humorous, catty, polite. Each runs the gamut. For me, I’m well aware that my writing skills have been lacking lately. I think we stick with each other for the long term, not the short. Through thick and thin. Readership and lack thereof. I mean, I’d still hold on to your friendship like George W. does to Karl R. even if you closed your site down today. I mean, it goes so much further than the blog (for us, anyway). We’re friends. Comrades. I have no need to impress, or depress, you. I take you at face value, just for what it is….not for what it isn’t. And, by the way, I guess Hilton isn’t in the closet anymore if it’s been EXPOSED by Nathan. Poor thing (him, not you). Hugs. I can see the rock right now.

Now now Nathan. I think you and your blog are A-list all the way!

I hear there’s a home for middle aged bloggers. Let’s go there. We’ll sit out on the front porch, with our heads gently shaking in rhythm, and tell war stories, playing grab ass with the male orderlies and terrifying them.

It’ll be fun! You’ll see.

Ok - let’s start a fight - Nathan, you’re … I can’t think of anything bad to say about you. Damn. You’re right, we are all going on the d-list.

Hi Doll,

Oh, Please I’m sure you are still an A-gay…LOL….I still think you have it!!

MargOH!’s has always been on the d-list. Sometimes I think looking up means there is always some where to go. That’s refreshing and a very Quentin Crisp way of looking at things…”Never keep up with the Joneses. Drag them down to your level” or

“The very purpose of existence is to reconcile the glowing opinion we hold of ourselves with the appalling things that other people think about us”

Keep on truckin dolly…

Kisses, MargOH!

D-List? Who on Earth could you have been talking to? *blush*

Regardless if you and I are D-list, you’re still my little Nathan… I’ll still be a has-been though.
