The Filler Post

Posted by Ling on March 3, 2011

Every once in a while, a blogger may lose their blogging mojo due to various reasons, and instead of their usual style of blog, they come up with a neither-here-nor-there “filler post” and ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, my filler post.

First of all, I have been overwhelmed by the tremendous support I received since my last post.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.  You all know who you are!  I am really grateful to the kind and caring messages and e-mails that you sent me.

And surprise, surprise – didn’t get any hate mail…no threats either…but I still got spammed.  No, I don’t want a p*nis pump nor do I want V*agra!  Hello, I am female.  If you’re gonna spam me, at least, offer me t*mpons or fake designer handbags or something female-related!  - AND no, please, this is not an invitation to spam me.

Anyway, the whole blogging thing has got me thinking.  I don’t think I’ll shut down this site (because that means the evil ones will have won) – but I may be heading into a different style of blogging…oh, I dunno.  The reason why I loved blogging was that I was spilling out gory details of my life online to random readers.  It was so therapeutic.  And then, I love to inject my sense of humour into my writing – I find myself somewhat witty with words.  But then people started taking the p*ss out of me and then some sent me hate mail and then I got the threats.  Is it worth it?

Changing blogging style is not easy.  I don’t even know if it’s possible.  When I blog here, words flow freely in my head and my fingers type them out.  Seriously!  I’m still considering my options.

Somehow, I do NOT see me as these types of bloggers :-

Detailed diary descriptive blogger
For example :  ”I woke up this morning at 9am.  I brushed my teeth and washed my face.  Then I ate my breakfast.  I made bacon and eggs.”

Poetic blogger
For example :
“Life.
What is thy reflection?
How so?  Therefore.
As I gather my thoughts, I wondered.”
Yeah, they’re a bit wishy-washy and I’m usually like WTF are you blogging about?

Copycat blogger
These are bloggers who are “inspired” by other blogs – inspired, my ass!  It’s called plagiarism!  I shall not provide you with an example, in case I offend another blogger and risk another rampage of hate mail!

….and I would like to continue with this blog…but alas, my Husband is asking me to do housework!  Dang it!  And I was about to get to the juicy parts!!!

I shall leave you with something funny so you can all laugh at me and love me once again :-

1.  I thought tuna was dolphin meat.  I only found it wasn’t several years ago.

2.  I thought tigers were female lions.  I only found out they weren’t a couple of years ago.

3.  I thought goats were male sheep.  I only found out they weren’t YESTERDAY!!  WTF!!!  Why did no-one ever tell me??

Don’t say it because I’ll say it.  Yes, Ling is a dumb*ss!

Filler post over and out.
