Posted: 01.30.2003 Check out, check check...out my melody
You got a problem with all the Bucs talk lately? Well I invite you to hit that back button and keep on surfin' bud. Because if you think this is bad, baby you ain't seen nothing yet when OU brings home another one of these!
Seriously though, I seem to have lost sight of the fact as to when my online journal's content had to be first-approved by YOU. Can you please enlighten me when this little change in ownership took place? Because I was under the impression that if I wanted to spend every single entry for the next six weeks blogging about my left pinky toe, well guess what? You don't have to keep on reading me. Shocking concept, I know. Those who want to...will. Those who don't...will find about 500,000 other blogs out there to keep them entertained. I know that I don't float everyone's boat, and I'm not ashamed to admit you never really have mine either. I happen to despise French. I think using it mixed with English merely for the sake of typing it is snotty and pretentious. But that's quite another "issue" of mine altogether...and you never saw me making blog entries calling you out for it when you'd ping me in the past. I've always said that the day I stop blogging for me is the day I hang up my mouse -- and I don't intend to change that any time soon. Football is a very real part of my life. Just as politics are a very real part of Michele's. No one is holding a gun to your head forcing you to read all of our content. Skim if you just can't stomach it. Really, it's not that hard. You do not dictate my mood. You do not dictate my thoughts. You do not even dictate my content, or what I have for dinner tomorrow night. And I double-dog dare you to come into my home, grab my paper journal, and start editing it because you don't like my topic choices and perspective on things. Because in case you might have missed it 'til now, this is my online journal. I write for me. I don't write to entertain the masses. And I certainly don't change my content because you've grown sick of hearing about Tampa Bay. If anything, it makes me even more determined to mention my fine community at every available turn. Ever notice that URL up there in the address bar by chance? Which reminds me...Gasparilla is right around the corner. Funny how that works. I'm'a do things my way. It's my way...or the highway... *plonk* UPDATE: I kid you not, as I hit the publish button, Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up" came on my station. The irony was not lost on me.  *turns the applause sign on* You get the "A-FREAKING-MEN" for the evening! ¤ ¤ credit: sledge | 01.30.03 at 03:49 AM | link- -this ¤ ¤ Thank you! Thank you very much! The 6 o'clock show is the same as the 4. Please tip your hostess. ;-) ¤ ¤ credit: robyn | 01.30.03 at 03:51 AM | link--this ¤ ¤Amen! Why do people feel the need to complain about what another person is chronicling in their blog/journal? That is one of my all time fav songs...I played it cranked way up with my windows rolled down for the benefit of a redneck I was forced to drive behind, verrrrry slowwwly, on a two lane road once. I'm pretty sure he didn't like it! Just stopping in to say hello to a fellow late-nighter! There needs to be a webring for all the night owls out there. ¤ ¤ credit: kim | 01.30.03 at 04:08 AM | link--this ¤ ¤Geesh some people are never happy.. -this ¤ ¤I must admit that for the most part, I usually skim and skip over the football posts, but that's because we don't EVER get to see it or hear about it in Australia. But I watched the Superbowl and I'm just super excited for you. I remember when my team won the football here, I was jumping out of my skin. Why do people find it necessary to whine about your content? Just piss off and read something else. I'm sure your hosting company will enjoy the spare bandwidth when you lose 3 readers for a few days ;) I love reading what you've been doing, seeing the photos etc. and getting to watch you enjoy life (you know why). Life is great, winning the footy is bloody spectacular!!! Gloat all you want baby, your team are wearing superbowl rings! ¤ ¤ credit: Jessica Parker | 01.30.03 at 05:04 AM | link--this ¤ ¤Bucs, bucs, bucs, bucs, bucs. I'm fed up of all the bucs talk!! Can we not talk about Blackburn Rovers instead? Oh wait, they lost last night. Forget that. (You knowI'm kidding right? It's been great having another team to follow after my Pats went out. Because we don't get mega amounts of American football over here I didn't know many of the players, but now it's like Brad, Keyshaw, Derrick, Warren etc are old friends. BTW did you know that Brad Johnson played for the London Monarchs? Yeah, we taught him everything he knows....hehe) ¤ ¤ credit: Antgrad | 01.30.03 at 05:48 AM | link--this ¤ ¤what a dipshit he is. ¤ ¤ credit: Ruthie | 01.30.03 at 06:53 AM | link--this ¤ ¤Nice rant! What a loser. Hope you're feeling better. :) Mikey told me to say that. ;) ¤ ¤ credit: Lisa, Gal of Unix | 01.30.03 at 08:05 AM | link--this ¤ ¤i like ur blog i like see pretty pictures and u r 2 pretty gril want 2 chat? this intrenet such wonderful thing 2 me email me please!!! l8R! ¤ ¤ credit: trish | 01.30.03 at 08:19 AM | link--this ¤ ¤You know I hate football right? It's just never been my bag, but hey, those are posts that I just sort of glance over (well unless I see a tight ass in a uniform). It's part of who you are. And it's not like you talk smack. You're one of the few girls I can say that would probably make a good sports commentator. You know the game and deserve to gloat. After all of the shit you've taken from other people this season that watch the sport to bash other teams or in some cases, you directly. I don't get that. You're a true fan. So are you going to blog about your left pinky toe or do I just have to fantasize? ¤ ¤ credit: statia | 01.30.03 at 08:58 AM | link--this ¤ ¤Amen Sistah!! I did a similar rant on my blog. Screw people who think they can tell you what to write!! They are just pissed because NO ONE reads their dribble!! Rawk on Robyn!! ;o) ¤ ¤ credit: Maria | 01.30.03 at 09:08 AM | link--this ¤ ¤Heh, Smack my Bitch up is actually about doing Heroin. ;-) ¤ ¤ credit: Jason D- | 01.30.03 at 10:23 AM | link--this ¤ ¤Erm, may those of us who actually speak both French and English every day use French in our blogs? Mind you, I'll do whatever the fuck I want to. ;P ¤ ¤ credit: Bill | 01.30.03 at 10:31 AM | link--this ¤ ¤Get em girl!!! Um but do you think you could talk about more weezer cause ya know after all your blog should be about me........right? *runs for cover* *mwah* -this ¤ ¤I thought you loved it when people tell you what to do... ;) ¤ ¤ credit: sphinx | 01.30.03 at 11:48 AM | link--this ¤ ¤People like this just chap my ass. You can bet that if the Red Sox ever win the World Series (just once, before I die...PLEASE!!!), I will probably blog about it for weeks, with no apologies to anyone! I understand completely why you blog about the Bucs and the Sooners so much! Also...I didn't see any indicaton that this person was footing the bills for your domain, web space, and bandwidth. I hate people who try to control others. One of my biggest pet peeves! ¤ ¤ credit: Christine M. | 01.30.03 at 12:43 PM | link--this ¤ ¤I hear you! I'm having the same problem in my journal. Cyberpeople calling me pathetic. :( Ouch. ¤ ¤ credit: Beatrice | 01.30.03 at 01:10 PM | link--this ¤ ¤I don't like football but I like you! ¤ ¤ credit: Michelle | 01.30.03 at 01:10 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Jason, I know... But let a girl fantacize, whydon'tcha? ;-p And Bill, of course. You post boobie pics. Heh. ¤ ¤ credit: robyn | 01.30.03 at 02:39 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Why on earth would someone choose you to fuck with? I've only been reading you for a couple of months, but damn, I know not to poke a stick into the cage. ¤ ¤ credit: Lunchbox | 01.30.03 at 02:45 PM | link--this ¤ ¤That was just a pathetic attempt to ride your coat-tails with some "shocking" negative babble. Kinda like what michele experienced with this guy. Both situations just made me come up with this Johnny Cochranesque tidbit: when you cannot emulate, you castigate. ¤ ¤ credit: Jody | 01.30.03 at 03:08 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Go Robyn! Lovely rant. I've never understood people who complain about other's blogs/sites. You're paying for and maintaining it. You can do what you want! ¤ ¤ credit: Sunidesus | 01.30.03 at 03:17 PM | link--this ¤ ¤I have heard it said, that those who can't do, try to tell others what to do. Let them ESAD. ¤ ¤ credit: Andrea Harris | 01.30.03 at 03:17 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Of course, boobies are very French. Ooh-la-la! ¤ ¤ credit: Bill | 01.30.03 at 03:20 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Seriously people, if you feel the need to e-mail me a 1500 word thesis on why I'm wrong in this matter -- save it. Spare yourselves the keystrokes. Do. Not. Care. Then joking about me getting half-naked and kissing women more instead, as your closing argument, does not help your case any. Really. And again, in case you may have missed it 'til now -- the URL up there at the top of the page is tampatantrum.com. I don't know how much more clear I have to make it. If I want to throw a tantrum, it's my god-given right by being born blonde and American. Too much for you? Then throw the car in reverse and leave town. I promise, you will not be missed! ¤ ¤ credit: robyn | 01.30.03 at 03:52 PM | link--this ¤ ¤PLEASE tell me you're kidding. Someone did not actually send you that, right? Sheesh. See, that's the thing about having a small group of people reading my blog. If they don't like what I post, they just go away, or don't read it. Heh. What a concept. ¤ ¤ credit: Tracy | 01.30.03 at 04:28 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Check your e-mail, Tracy -- oh yes, they did! ¤ ¤ credit: robyn | 01.30.03 at 04:38 PM | link--this ¤ ¤I am sooooo never pissing you off. Whatever it takes. Need another tiara? :) ¤ ¤ credit: Solonor | 01.30.03 at 06:18 PM | link--this ¤ ¤I'm definitely not a football fan, but I read and enjoy the football posts here and on the other blogs I read because I like learning about the things that make people tick. I like seeing what makes the people who write the blogs I read passionate. I don't expect everybody to be interested in me sharing photos of my stuffed animals dressed up, but it lets you know that I like being a bit silly. :) ¤ ¤ credit: Brandy | 01.30.03 at 06:46 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Solonor, I'm thinkin' a sceptre this time. ¤ ¤ credit: Lisa, Gal of Unix | 01.30.03 at 07:05 PM | link--this ¤ ¤*timidly risking blogland exile* But, erm, doesn't she have the right to say what she wants on her blog too? Is every trackback expected to be a stroke? Can one not ping another just to say "Pfffft, what the fuck?" I ask, in all honesty, as I am fairly new to this. ¤ ¤ credit: Robin | 01.31.03 at 03:58 AM | link--this ¤ ¤Well I happen to think it's in very poor taste to take someone else to task in your blog for their content choices if they don't happen to live up to your standards. If you hated your neighbor's drapes, would you ring her doorbell and then run across the street to a sign in your yard stating, "Excuse me, but your drapes suck. Get some fucking taste already!", for her and all the neighbors driving by to see? Same concept in my opinion. This is my home. Your mileage may vary... And while they certainly have the right to criticize me -- then again, I have that same right to turn right back around and criticize what they've just written about me. Some people need to just learn to close their blinds and look out another window. ¤ ¤ credit: robyn | 01.31.03 at 04:05 AM | link--this ¤ ¤Btw, I don't want anyone to think they'll be "exiled" for stating their opinion here or trying to have a reasonable conversation. Now sending me e-mails telling me how to run my life and/or my blog are an entirely different matter... Only Todd has that privilege. I don't tell you how to run your own lives, or how you should react to certain situations in them, or what you get to write about as you go through them -- and I expect the same common courtesy in return. I'm 30 and I already have one mother, thankyouverymuch. I don't need two. ¤ ¤ credit: robyn | 01.31.03 at 04:14 AM | link--this ¤ ¤Anyone who sent you an email to tell you what to put in your blog is a L-O-O-S-E-R, with a capital L!!! How freakin' arrogant are they?? You should ALSO live YOUR life the way THEY tell you to! You KNOW that, right Robyn?? Sheesh!! ¤ ¤ credit: Maria | 01.31.03 at 07:18 AM | link--this ¤ ¤Robyn 1, Idiots 0... or should I say 48-21? ¤ ¤ credit: KB | 02.02.03 at 09:54 PM | link--this ¤ ¤
