Blog Hating Douchebags

Douchebags are like dust mites. They are everywhere.

And I'd like to spray them with Pledge and shove a rag in their face.

No, I'd like to spray them with kerosene.

And shove a flaming rag in their face.

Yeah, that's what I'd like to do to douchebags.

And dust mites.

I've been blogging for a few months, and I really enjoy it. I enjoy any form of writing. I am happiest when I am pouring out my thoughts, whether it be mundane material for this blog or working on my book-which is at 98 percent completion, thank Heavens. Brace yourself, Renee. Your life is about to change.

But, there are some douchebags that want to rain on my blogging parade.

Why? Because that's the kind of crap douchebags do.

Even though I'm often thinking of subjects for my blog, I never, and I mean never, bring it up in normal conversation.

"Isn't it a shame about the situation in Mongolia?"

"Yeah, terrible. Did you read my blog today?" 

That doesn't happen.

In fact, I am usually too embarrassed to mention this blog.  I'm not sure how people feel about my opinions or my language or my random observations. I want people to read it, and comments make me so happy I could do a jump and squeal, but I don't want to let out a wolf whistle, interrupt the PTO meeting, and ask to see a show of hands on how many people saw my illustrations of an animal defecating while I vomit red Jello.

When people want to talk about my blog, I'm glad to discuss it, but I just don't want to be the first person to bring it up.

Back to the douchebags.

I've encountered several that say the following things. You know, real douchebaggy stuff.

"So, I saw you vacuuming your car today. Are you gonna blog about it?" 

Of course, they say "blog" in an extremely sarcastic and drawn out kind of tone.

"Here she comes. Watch what you say. She may blog about it."

Yeah, I might, Douchebag.

"This is Susannah. She has a blog." 

I also have a gun permit. 

So what I have a blog? I happen to like it. And, you know what? Other people like it, too.

Insert a sloppy, wet, raspberry in your face!!! 

No, this blog doesn't have deep meaning or purpose or give those crucial step by step instructions on how to save your goldfish from blood thirsty dwarfs. No, it isn't going to change the world. No, it isn't profound literature that will change your life. It is simply a place where I try to insert humor in unhumorous situations. If you don't like it, don't read it. 

This is a raspberry.
However, this is NOT me.
Just because I don't write in-depth things here doesn't mean that I don't have the sense to write intelligently. I've written quite a number of tear-jerking in-depth pieces. You may be surprised, but I am a moderately intelligent and very well educated person, with more creative writing and literature classes under my belt than....than...than...well, than a lot of people.

Insert an even sloppier, wetter, raspberry in your face! 

The next time these douchebags want to demean my writing efforts and sarcastically talk to me about my "blog", they will be featured in it- complete with full name, photo and a brief description on why they are too old to be haters.

Go shampoo carpets or whatever it is you do, Buttface.

I should have ended this with "douchebag" instead of "buttface", but "douchebag" was just getting too repetitive.

  1. Amen. I honestly can't take that condescending crap from people who view themselves as being superior to those who dare be a little creative and blog.

    "Ha, ha, she may *blog* about it." Darn tootin', dumbass. And guess what? Unlike your pathetic attempt at sarcasm, what I say may make you laugh.

  2. I find most of the people I know have very little interest in my blog. I guess playing farmville or whatever is much more fascinating.

    On the flip side, until I started blogging I never realized how much is out there on the internet to read just for fun. I've always been one of those people who find it difficult to fit in. In the blogging community, I'm actually starting to get it.

    Comments and page views and oh my god somebody is actually interested in what I have to say - nothing will ever beat that except for the birth of my children.

    1. I'm so happy that I've discovered blogging and some really awesome people.

      Yes, there is more to life than farmville. I know its shocking to some, but its true.
      Thanks for the comment!

  3. douchebags suck!!!

    But take it as a sign of your success as a blogger. If you weren't good, people wouldn't care. It makes them feel inadequate, like they should be doing more than just sitting at home crying because their gin bottles are empty. (note the use of the plural)

    We still do that AND manage to blog.

    They really are just envious of your multitasking skills! ;)

    1. Wise, girl. You're just wise.

      And I totally noticed the plural use of bottle.

      Douchebags.

  4. the one person ive told about my blog thinks its awesome, but i absolutely, completely, 100% without a doubt agree with this. people like to dish out crap a lot, it seems. i bet they all work at macca's, or push trolleys around a supermarket all day. they are obviously jealous.

  5. Sometimes dbs can be a motivating force. Draw on them to make your writing even better and funnier. But don't let the dbs get you down, instead use them to make you stronger. (:

  6. Nice! Have Blog... and gun... unafraid to use either... Byatch!

    I often think it would be cool to have an anonymous blog like some people do, then I could spill some serious dirt. I mean, seriously, I could lay some people out (in the third person and in a good Christian kind of way and all)

    Things I'd like to have the courage to say:

    I'm struggling with enough of my own issues that I can blog about, why would I possibly need to include you?

    My readers are far too mature and discerning to care about the drivel that is your life.

    But... I don't and I can't, so I won't... (sigh)

    1. Yes! If I had an anonymous blog, I've already got the first 73, no 74, posts ready to go. Man, I could do some ripping.

  7. Jealousy in it's purest form honey. People envy the craziest things, and 9 times out of 10 its usually popularity or money or both. I love your blog! Anything that makes me literally "lol" deserves a two thumbs up. Blog about the "haters", I'm sure that would be pretty entertaining. ~Tiffany

  8. The thing is, I can't say "didn't you read my blog" without feeling like a douchebag. The worst thing anyone call my blog is "little". It takes time! I have met awesome internet friends because of it. I'm appreciative of the views and whatever comments I get. There's no such thing as a "little blog". Douchebags!

  9. The other day my dad was asking me tons of questions about my life, to which I gave the normal one word answers. He then said, "I guess I will have to read your blog to find out about your life." And then I said that, yes, he would.

  10. Who here feels me on this? I think the word "blog" itself has some bad connotations. My husband is genuinely proud of my blog and tells people "you should check out her blog" but he tells this to people who have written academic papers and it somehow sounds small in comparison. But really, I have found some of my favorite writters here and I'm more proud of some of my posts than anything I've written in my former life as a policy analyst. So there. Double wet rasberry!

  11. This ROOOOOOhhaaaaahOOOCKS my face off. I don't even tell anyone i blog, AT ALL. My husband doesn't even know. I love him. I have had many babies by him. I may have more. But he does not know. It wouldn't go over so well, OR he would read it and i would crap my pants. But yes. Halelujah to this entire post.

  12. It takes all kinds...and I encounter all those kinds. The ones who think I'm the greatest thing ever since I have a blog(not so), the ones who make fun of my blog and the fact that people read it(my husband) and the jealous friend who tried to start a blog that sucked so she has to pretend like my blog sucks, too. No, sorry, friend, your blog ACTUALLY sucks, but people do like my blog. Raspberry to that b*tch! LOL

  13. Amen! People always told me if I was going to blog I needed to have tough skin...I didn't know they mean lizard left in the middle of the dessert for 3 years with no water skin but whatever. I just had a relative tell me to my face the other day that they HATED one of my blog posts. I tried to brush it off but came home fuming about it. Keep on writing...it's what you enjoy and you're good at it. I like to say I'm a blogger not a hater...which is more than I can say for the douchebags out there. ;)
