i never thought i would feel that way about someone i dont even know. not even remotely know.

worst part is i wouldn’t even know that she was dead.

just one day her site would stop getting updated.

then it would never update again.

and poof.

gone.

she probably thinks that i wouldn’t care, but i would.

her absence would make a difference.

people dont understand that they affect others, even by being dumb. even by being great. even if all they ever do is whine every day. for some of us, we dont look at it as whining.

some of us look at it as saying, hi, i live in the valley.

thats what i see when i read her site.

i also hear, hi, im cool. even though i bitch a lot, im gonna fly to a foreign land and be cool over there.

i like that she listens to pretty good music.

lots of girls dont. lots of girls listen to the crap made for them: john mayer, ben folds, counting crows, kenny g, twisted sister, linkin park, the offspring.

girls have different brains though. its been studied. i imagine their brains hear things differently, which explains the terrible music that they will buy.

splink likes good music. i will miss her if she ends it all. i will be sad that we never met. i will be sad that she didn’t teach me how to take pictures properly. i will be sad that we didn’t get to go to scandinavia together.

i will be sad that i wouldn’t be able to invite her to sizzler.

it would be a joke invite cuz im pretty sure she would despise sizzler.

i would say it the way they do in the commercials though, like a whisper.

i would say, splinky wanna go to

and then i would whisper.

sizzzzzzlah?

and she would give me the finger-down-the-throat gagging motion which would lead to a barf contest which i would win.

cuz you cant lose to a girl.

ever.

if her life is the way she writes it to be, i can easily say that it is the most unique life ive ever read about on the world wide web. if what shes been saying is true, its been nice to see her overcome her eating problems, cuz it cant be an easy thing to be working with.

if she died today or tomorrow i would be sad that i wasnt a good friend to her.

even if all i was was a cyber friend who would link her as often as i could to turn people on to what she has to say and how she says it.

yes, i would be sad if her dark twisted humor was no more.

cuz all i would think is, the fuckin devil won this round

not good.

flagrant disregard

time, but he’s just jealous of their popularity, gorgeousness, and wealth.

sad thing about snipers out there is theyre so sad. this guy is trying to appear cooler-than-thou with his mommy’s thesaurus, but people who hide behind three dollar words usually dont have anything to say in the first place.

and after careful examination of his digs at the chicks, basically his only gripe is that theyre being… girls.

the madpony page doesnt need any defense from the busblog. it’s fine on its own. and it figures that the dude doesnt give a link to his blog because hes probably got some very shameful things on there.

what worries me is that one of the thousands of readers to madponys site might reconsider making their own blog one day in fear that asswipes like bro might come out of the woodwork as soon as their site starts getting popular.

all i can tell you, bloggers-to-be, is that the world does have its fair share of dipshits, and theyre bound to come at you when people like blogger list you as something Good. my advice is to ignore them. dont link them. dont call them by name.

if they leave something wack in your comments, delete it right away. ban them if you can. especially if they dont have a blog.

i hate snipers.

snipers are gutless and it doesnt suprise me that this one is picking on girls.

snipers dont realize that even if what they are saying is true for them, most of the times its done rudely, and that sort of classlessness might turn off an otherwise important blogger.

he lies and says that hes reading Plath. what if she lived today? what if she was a young woman who wanted to play around with this idea of writing, and what if she saw the annoying abuse dumbasses like snipers do to innocent people.

i bet she wouldnt make her writing public and might even stop writing all together. both which would be a huge loss to the blogging community, the web, and to people who seriously do like to read good writing.

now, are the madpony girls churning out plath? no. and theyre not trying to. theyre trying to be light and fun. and theyre succeeding.

what snipers dont think about, cuz they dont think, is that madpony’s readers are the ones that the negative crap influences. kristin and lauren are confident, together girls with a great family, and obviously the brains to know that morons will take easy shots at them for 1) being in a sorority (heavens!) 2) having a horse (sinners!) 3) being “rich” (since thats a crime) 4) being hot (if only we all had those problems) and 5) being popular (something dude probably has never experienced, which is why his best friend’s name is roget).

the sad thing is there are young people out there who dont have half of those things going for them who want some of those things but will be afraid to write about their lives honestly in fear that dillweeds will try to make them feel bad for being themselves.

interesting that he didnt go after me.

probably knew hed get destroyed.

oh well, keep picking fights with highschoolers and sorority girls, dude.

when you make your way to men, let me know.

in the meantime, if you want to be helpful, not that anyone is asking for help, but send an email. otherwise you out yourself as being the ass that you’re coming off as being.

<3 madpony <3

and since i know that everyone in major league baseball reads the busblog, you both better listen up.

personally i dont care which one of you wins because youre american leaguers and i poop on you and your girlie dh rule.

but which ever one of you wins you MUST beat the yankees and heres why.

my heart is with the red sox, and specificially their fans. if theres anyone who understands the plight of sox fans, its cub fans who have had it hard, but not as painful as you because you have gotten closer and youve had to deal with the f’in yankees the whole time.

but if the red sox beat the a’s and lose to the yankees, i will hate the red sox, maybe forever.

let me explain.

the cubs are going to the world series. done deal. case closed. game over. no frickin fish, no black guys named pierre, and no 72 year old manager are going to get in the way of dustiny.

so i want either the red sox to get in there so that one of us can end our curse, or i want the a’s to win so i can rent a car and drive up to oaktown and be there when the cubs deliver to all of us which is rightfully ours: total mlb dominance.

if the red sox win and then lose to the yankees, i will put the curse of the busblog on the sox. sorry, but it will have to be done.

if the billy beane a’s win and lose to the yankees, i will put the curse of the busblog on the a’s.

again, im sorry, but i get serious when we’re talking about the cubs in the world series.

i might have to quit my job.

i might have to move to chicago for a little while.

i might have to continue to lose my mind.

but whoever wins this afternoons game must beat the yankees. do you hear me? do you hear me now?

whoever wins, must continue to win, until they play the cubs in the world series THEN you are allowed to lose.

good luck.

play ball.
