How to write a blog post...

First have thought. [ting!]. Hold thought in head. [Nobody talk to me, nobody talk to me, shut up, shut up!]. Write thought down on scrap of paper. [Blah, blah, blah]. Admire thought [Oh yes, I am genius boy]. Now play with thought in head. [blah, blah, blah... blah, blah, blah... blah, blah, blah]. Now write all thoughts onto the computer using Microsoft Word or similar program. [Tap, tap, taptap, tap]. Admire thoughts. [Oh yes, I am genius boy]. Now edited thoughts. [Snip, snip, snip]. Remember, every word on a blog-post counts. [Snip, snip, snip]. Admire thoughts. [Oh yes, I am genius boy]. Publish thoughts onto blog. [Ping!]. Check for any spelling mistakes. [Snip, snip, snip]. Admire post. [Oh yes, I am genius boy]. Make coffee and wait for fans to comment. [Lalalalalala]. Return to computer with coffee and admire your post. [Ooh... I don't like it now... it's rubbish... the worst post I have ever written... the worst post ever published on the internet... I hate it, hate it, hate it!]. Consider deleting post, closing blog, and killing self. [I want to die, I want to die, I want to die]. Realize you are not brave enough to delete post, close blog and kill self... so do quick doodle and place above shitty post [Ping!] and when no one is looking [re: middle of night] delete shitty post from blog and memory. And relax.

I am looking, in the middle of your night, in the middle of my day. I think I have blog addiction.

[cosmosgirl]

I am a fan and I am not from Canada (jumping up and down and waving madly).

[little red]

"Realize you are not brave enough to delete post, close blog and kill self... so do quick doodle and place above shitty post [Ping!]"

So where's the doodle?
*lol* only joking - ;-)

[laurel]

pssst! andre...you have american (GASP!) fans as well...I'd wave madly...but big brother might notice...but I am waving madly in my head...

[flashing neon]

"First have thought. [ting!]. Hold thought in head. [Nobody talk to me, nobody talk to me, shut up, shut up!]. Write thought down on scrap of paper. [Blah, blah, blah]."

I'd do that and the paper will end up in the bin. :(

[flashing neon]

am not from canada too!
*WAVES*

[anxious]

The last time I looked, I was not Canadian. Although my boyfriend is one quarter Canadian. Does that help?

[paulo]

i also hate the transition from genius boy to inept blogger... and by the way, i'm also a fan and i'm not canadian.

[andre]

Where have all my Canadian fans gone?

[D]

I'm quite fond of Canada. I'll be a Canadian fan. I'm quite fond of your doodles so I'll also be a doodle fan.

[andre]

maybe I should do a new 'I wave to my fans [or should that be fan] sign'?

Blogging is hazardous to one's health.

[Cheerful One]

Those Canadians are clearly fickle sorts.

I like the ever-flowing comings and goings of posts and doodles on this site. It's like getting a magazine which changes constantly.

[andre]

Banana - tis very true

Cheerful one - the only trouble is, Bloglines never ever forgets ... and all my worst posts in the history of the world are still there for all to see ... I hate Bloglines ... it is the devils advocate!

[Cheerful One]

Nooo they aren't, they dissapear after you've viewed them once, and besides you only get the first few lines (or maybe that's my setings..).

[andre]

no, see, I have set my blogline feed so my fans [my fan] can read everything ... am tempted to change it back to short feed ... but worry people will shout and say 'that is it, we are not reading you anymore ... you are idiot boy ... goodbye!'

[Debra]

*waving from California* I do this too- write, and post, then panic. Then later go to the edit screen, and hover my cursor over "delete." But finally I just leave it and walk away. A week from then I'll realize there was a reason for posting it.

[Joy]

Every breath you take
And every move you make
Every bond you break,
Every step you take
I'll be watchin' you
(reads: I'm an avid fan of beautiful revolution and I'm not from Canada) *waves hand*

PS: lovely post again andre. tells so much about blog life.

[andre]

waves back .... cooey!!!

[Léonie]

I am not Canadian at all in anyway, although I do like maple syrup. I am a London fan and I am waving, too.

[andre]

ooh, I love London ... it is the acest place in all the world ... cooey!!!

[although I did like Canada)

[andre]

and Leonie I have to say ... your singing voice is truly ace ... and my favourite song in the whole wide world is Mr Bojangles by Nina Simone... next time i'm in london I'll have to see where you are performing and then I can wave at you.

[virg]

Yes this discrimination again us who happen to NOT be from Canada is a little .. hmmm a little ... well it isn't .. hmmm .. well ...fair on the rest of us !!!
There I said it ....
*waves boldly from Australia !!*

BTW I absolutely love Nina Simone's music .... especially her singing Mr Bojangles!!

[andre]

I love australia too ... have family there ... Perth.

[D]

Now see Andre, its written "acerbia" but in doodles it should be drawn as "throat-wobbler mangrove"

[andre]

I cannot draw throat wobbler mangroves

[Léonie]

Oh, thanks, that's lovely of you.

[The GurL]

I know it wasn't just mere coincidence that you first waved to Canada when I first started visiting your site. I may be fickle about reading the comments - though I'll devote much more time to it now that I know you're commenting too - but Canada is waving back and we're some of your biggest fans.

[andre]

To my dear fans in Canada I say "Konichiwa"

[C]

aha, so that's how you do it - yes, there is a flowing motion to this blog that is rather unique - but we [the fans all over the world] love it - we visit and 5 minutes later it can be different already - fascinating :)

[Robin]

Waves from Darzet, 'though I'm from London originally so that should be Dauwsit (replace 'T' with guttural stop)

non Canadian ( I quite like them though)

[Peter]

Glottal stop. Life's a bitch when you move into big words.

[guyana-gyal]

LOL

Oho! So THAT'S why posts disappear overnight. And all this time I've been thinking it's something one of us fans said.

Signed, a fan from a teeny li'l place stuck between Brazil and Venezuela.

[Robin]

Thanks for the correction Peter, wasn't too sure about that one, I may have been thinking of how some regard my west London accent! (faint though it is)

[andre]

I try not to use big words ... always spell them wrong me.

[laurel]

next year, I'll be living in australia and will be waving madly from there...

[jasmine]

HELLOOO from one of your Canadian fans. I'm tickled to see your waving hand, and always return your wave promptly.

[mf]

your blog, all it's postings and doodles ALWAYS make me laugh. keep falling in love please because i honestly feel the odds are in your favour.

m.

[eric]

Canadian fan here! *waves*

[Lola]

(chuckle, chuckle). Lean back, smile and realize that you're not the only crazy person in this world. I dream like I get paid 2.6 million a year to do it. Excuse me, I'm going to go smoke a cigarette and listen to Air really loud.

[carol]

This certainly makes a good point. I'd like to see the response of others on this topic. Makes interesting reading.
