WoW – What is wrong with this world
This subject is a statement, not a question. World of Warcraft is what is wrong with this world. It’s obvious to me now. How did I figure this out? By looking on craigslist and seeing WoW accounts selling for $400, $500, and as high as $1100 dollars. WHAT THE HELL?
For my first point, I just want to let all of you brain dead morons that buy these accounts know: THE ENTIRE POINT OF A GAME IS TO PLAY IT. Novel idea, I know, but stick with me here. If you started mario after he’d killed Koopa, it’d be pretty boring. Same principle applies.
For my second point, if you have that kind of coin, why the HELL are you buying an account that you could get for free? Are you mentally touched? Are you THAT busy that you can’t work your way through a game? Are you Paris Hilton? Please, someone that’s bought one of these accounts, comment and tell me why I’m a closed-minded idiot for not getting this.
So in conclusion, with the economic crisis going on in many parts of the world, with genocide in Darfur and children starving to death, is it REALLY economically reliable to put your entire life savings in an MMO account?
Here’s a little free advice for you freaks, straight from me to you. STOP WASTING YOUR GOD DAMN MONEY ON GAMING ACCOUNTS AND THROW IT AWAY SOME WHERE ELSE. Here are a few suggestions:

5 reasons I want to get more blog hits
I’ve been reading a lot of websites discussing how to get more visitors for your blog. The most recent one I’ve read is located at ProBlogger.net titled 8 Reasons Why Lists are Good for Getting Traffic to your Blog. Taking the advice given there, it’s time to make a list. Here are 5 reasons I want to get more blog hits.
1. Acknowledgment. Knowing that somebody enjoys my writing brings a good feeling out (and yes, it burns a little but is totally worth it)
2. The readers deserve something good. Many of my posts might be horribly written, but the fact that they are genuine should appeal to people more than the corporate propaganda that is now considered as ‘blogging’.
3. So people think I’m awesome and super-cool. I have toads and three egos at home to feed, can you really blame me? I wanna be famous.
4. To improve my writing skills. If I write 1 post or 100 posts it won’t improve my abilities unless somebody is there to give me some CC and tell me what I could work on to make better. More people reading means more people to tell me what I’ve done wrong.
5. Profit. I put this last because an end goal of making ‘big bucks’ from this almost makes me sick to my stomach. I do this because I enjoy it, as much as I would like to make a profit from this, I’d rather give the readers something to enjoy first.
