Category: Amuse Me

I just looked to see if a glitch I discovered yesterday had been fixed (it has) and found out that my shares are down to $2.91. Are you sure you don’t want a piece of me?

I finally took the time to look around and investigate the whole Blogshares thing. I’m still bummed because I goofed up and didn’t confirm my account when the site went from alpha to beta mode, so I’m no longer uber-cool number 52 – now I’m less uber-cool number 1996. Oh well, I’ll survive…

I bought a lot of stocks today. Ok, I bought a TON of stock today. But I can’t help but wonder … for the blogs where I have a clear controlling share, do I get to blog there now too? I mean, if I own over 3000 shares of a blog that only has 5000 shares, doesn’t that make me the controlling shareholder? Do I get to dictate what the blog says, what it represents, that sort of thing? If so, you can expect to see my influence at the following sites:

:: Blogland
:: Tainted Melodies
:: Just Another Day

I also have a definite strong vested interest in the following:

:: Alysha Jane
:: Prose, Poems and Thorns
:: Bozzy’s Angels
:: The 26th Year – An American in Belgium (oooo… pretty!)
:: Gearheads Anonymous
:: Phil Ringnalda
:: Kiss My Blog (also known as Dania’s Dailies, but I bought up stock in her new blog, so I wonder how that works?)
:: Vents and Rambles
:: Stacey George (I have loved her site for a long time!)

You can keep an eye on my portfolio right here in case you’re curious about who else I own. Maybe I own a piece of you? If you want, you can own a piece of me too!

Now if only PlayaPixie and Pixelog would go public! I need to pick up some Plasic Fruit stock too – I just love the site!

I can’t wait until Dawn’s site, Playapixie, goes public so I can buy some stock in her site….

Whooo hooo! All my ass-kissing in the previous year and especially at SXSW (you read about the whole book signing thing, right?) finally paid off! I didn’t win any of the Bloggies I was up for, and the SXSW Web Award that Pixelog was up for was passed on to Griff, but damn it ….

I won a Davezilla and Leia for letting me suck up to them! (I even have photographic evidence here and here, along with about 25 other “Picture Yourself-style” photos with other bloggers.)

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I won! I won!

* Please Note: Throughout this post, there is meant to be humor and sarcasm. Well, I’m glad that I won, but I don’t want people to feel alienated or anything. I mean, you guys already don’t leave comments … and I promise, I’m really nice, so you should … I want to hear from you; winning this hasn’t gone to my head at all. Promise. I still love you – all of you!

The pope has taken to blogging at Joi Ito’s and he even has MT set up already!
