Excessive Blogging Essay

The night I was working on a short 3,500-word posting called "Why the Michigan-Utah Game Will be a Blowout, Although I’m Not Sure for Which Team" approximately 6 o’clock I received an e-mail so I proceeded to read it. When I opened it, it said we did too much blogging here at Dawg Sports and asked us to cut it out, so I went back into Microsoft Word and I willingly cut out the six-paragraph middle section on Big Ten non-conference scheduling during the Progressive Era with no problem. After shortening up the posting, MaconDawg and I left the weblog to go practice law so we could make sure there would not be anymore problems with our blogging level.

Approximately two hours later I received another e-mail saying we had violated internet regulations of excessive blogging. I was confused by this e-mail because MaconDawg posted this story only around 3 o’clock on Wednesday afternoon which is not during peak blogging hours. The peak blogging hours on Wednesday night during the offseason are from 8 p.m. to midnight, and my co-author and me are very aware of this. It did not seem as if we were blogging enough that we were filling up the SB Nation homepage or an RSS reader; we were merely expressing our excitement that a Georgia football player was disciplined over something not involving an open container or a suspended license. Being busted by an overzealous humorless resident assistant seemed to us like a major improvement over being busted by an overzealous humorless campus cop.

After taking maybe 30 seconds, tops time to Google research about the harmful effects of R.A.s with great big ol’ sticks up their butts college students who live in dorms and make a federal case out of their neighbors crankin’ dat Soulja Boy a little after midnight on a Saturday night in Athens excessive blogging, it was time consuming and boring boring, yet useless busy-work with no deterrent or rehabilitative benefits still boring educational. It was a little ridiculous to research about blogging because it is common sense to anyone under 50 to anyone besides Buzz Bissinger what blogging is, but I continued to read on. Blogging is considered as the dissemination of uninformed opinions over the internet in your underwear from your parents’ basement a bold new medium (web site 1). This is obviously a correct statement because people did not want to read weblogs that day aside from the more than 4,500 visitors who had clicked through to Dawg Sports by approximately 8:15 p.m. on Thursday. Blogging occurs continuously through everyday and disrupts many people including but not limited to lawyers in their late 30s and early 40s who may or may not be billing hours while leaving comments at this site in the middle of the business day at all costs. On a more serious note, excessive blogging has been tested, and shown to affect the central nervous system, immune, cardiovascular, and hormonal systems (web site 2). The disruption of these systems can cause many negative outcomes like the firing of incompetent alumnus Karl Dorrell due to pressure from internet-savvy U.C.L.A. die-hards like Colin Cowherd being forced to apologize on the air for swiping material from the blogosphere like Rick Reilly pitching a hissy fit over Orson Swindle paying a compliment to his live-in girlfriend. Being exposed to blogs also known as unwanted witty, impassioned, innovative sportswriting words, over a period of time can lead to certain diseases like laughter like civil interaction with fellow fans, which I was most shocked by.

In conclusion, I learned a lot about excessive blogging and its effects on others around me. To show the responsibility I have gained over this situation I was recently asked on this weblog one night after peak blogging hours if I could write something funny write something insightful tick off an entire fan base by criticizing their favorite team’s non-conference schedule type 60 words a minute. My answer to this was yes because I can, but I kindly stated that I would not be able to perform this act at the time because I did not want to disturb narrowminded flunkies with Napoleon complexes the functionally illiterate by typing too loudly. If I had a chance to experience this whole situation again I would have fought this asinine charge with every ounce of my readers’, my co-author’s, and my legal skill and guile typed more slowly and told MaconDawg not to bring smiles to the faces of many dozens of people by writing with a wry humor reminiscent of Lewis Grizzard belittle this seriously idiotic situation. I put much thought into my actions and I discovered that if I was given new insights bothered by excessive blogging I would maintain a sense of perspective like a reasonable adult be upset too. Overall, the moral of the circumstances that took place at Dawg Sports one past Wednesday afternoon is, we need to get Holly an expensive Christmas gift because she will flat-out spike your site traffic with a favorable link treat others as if your inability to enjoy life entitles you to ruin everyone else’s good time you would like to be treated. I am sorry for the inconvenience and therefore I’ll be moving back to my old weblog at Xanga off campus next year.
