Ok, this is probably the most appropriate post I’ve sent up in awhile. I just stumbled across The Lazy Bloggers Post Generator and it was too much fun to pass up. Basically, you pick a bunch of responses to questions and it churns out a simple post. I decided to make it more fun that I would go about it in Mad Libs style and not read the questions, just pick stuff at random. Here is the result:

Holy crap! I just found out I have not updated this since the long
board was invented… You would not believe the fairy dust I have to
clean up. Dudes!.

I am so busy with a weight-lifting regime,
rock crushing, just generally being an embarrassment to my friends, my
day pisses me off from sun up to whenever. I am beyond drunk most of
the time. my kids think I don’t make sense any more.

I swear on
the bones of my ancestors that when the weather turns bad, I will blog
more often. Until I need your shoulder to cry on. Cats if you don’t.

Indeed! Cats if you dont.

The threats were there, rumors spoken, people speculated and finally it came. At the corner of La Cienega and Olympic in Los Angeles, just a short walk from the Beverly Hills border, a Union 76 posted up prices for the days gas. $4.89 for regular, $4.99 for 89 octane and…wait for it…$5.09 for Premium. Granted, I don’t use Premium, and the prices at this station are not reflected at other shops just a 2 miles south, but the line has been crossed. If the cost of oil goes up another $5.00 a barrel, you can bet that a lot more stations around these parts will follow.

According to GasBuddy.com, one year ago, the average price of gas for this area was $3.16 per gallon, nearly $2 less than today. I think it’s interesting and slightly hilarious trying to understand what Southern California drivers are willing to endure. A month ago, I was screaming at the idea of gas being over $4 and now I would kill for those prices. In a few months, oil companies like Exxon and BP will be reporting 2nd quarter earnings. I wonder how many billions in profit they’ll have made. If you think they’re struggling with these prices too, get real. They also find it hilarious how much we’re willing to endure.

This is insane. When will my motorcycle be ridable again???

I’m not sure what’s going on, but lately I’ve been using Scribefire for my updates here, but something seems to go awry about every other time I post. I’m pretty sure I wrote something recently about Jay Conrad Levinson’s magnum opus, Guerrilla Marketing and how I decided to read it again, but damned if that post went completely AWOL.

I love Scribefire’s functionality, and it makes posting a whole lot easier than having to login to my WP admin every time, but having things disappear is a bit frustrating, as you can imagine.

Anyway, I wrote this really great piece about Levinson’s book. It was irreverent and insightful and you’re missing out for not being in whatever dimension the post went, but none the less, the book is awesome even after a 2nd time reading it. Go check it out.

And by “The Kids”, I mean your search engine optimization (SEO) efforts. They may have good intentions, but they look through the world with PHP eyes and probably don’t have your marketing plan in mind when their working. They may know a ton about SEO, but do they know exactly what SEO is right for your company?

This is normally not my subject matter, but I found this great article on Hubspot that talks about 7 reasons why you can’t trust your webmaster with SEO. All good intentions aside, the web guy more than likely hasn’t looked at your marketing plan, nor has anyone given him specific direction on the subject. With these 7 reasons, you’ll be better equipped to lead him down the correct path.

In an effort to help, if a certain individual I know is reading this (DF), I’m hoping he’ll read the hubspot post because he’s just about breaking every single rule, that is if they’re even doing any SEO at all. So, DF, please call and tell me that you’re ready because time grows short.
