Conversations

While out on the bear crawl1 this weekend, a conversation heard about blogging.

This is sorta where I tuned into to the conversation.

Guy 1: ….yeah, he said he was a blogger. I’ve never read him though

Guy 2: Blogger? I thought only losers did that?

Guy 1: Why do you say that? I’m not even sure what a blog is. I just know he does it.

Guy 2: Its a bunch of queers who don’t have a life complaining about it online. Don’t waste your time.

It was at this point, I felt compelled to intervene. I leaned over and stuck my nose right in their conversation. hehehe


Moby: Excuse me, I sorry for sticking my two cents in here however, I overheard your exchange about blogging. I’m a blogger and I hate to break it to ya but I have a life.

Guy 2: *looking at me sort of in shock*

Moby: Can I ask, have you ever read a blog?

Guy 2: *sputtering* No, not really

Moby: So why would you make such a statement about bloggers? I bet if you thought you could get laid blogging you’d do it in a heartbeat. I’ve made some really good friends blogging and I have to tell ya I resent your comments.

Guy 2: (At this point, he thought I was offended and getting snotty) No, I just have better things to do with my time.

Moby: Oh right like spending 6 hours on a Saturday getting drunk and playing grab ass with anyone who would let you?

Guy 2: Whatever.

Moby: I tell you what, here is my card. It has my blog address on it. How bout you take a moment after you sober up to actually sit down and read a blog. Then you can make such a statement of out actual perception vs ‘ignunce’. Everyone blogs for different reasons but I think you’ll find not everyone blogs because they “don’t have a life”.

To my surprise, he actually did read it. He emailed this morning to apologize for his comments and thanked me for opportunity to discover a whole new way to interact w/other gay guys. He was particular smitten w/Homer.

*See Brian, I told ya I’d write about it. Did I do a fair job of describing our conversation?*

The moral of the story? Don’t bad-mouth bloggers in front of me. Why? Cause I’ll cut ya! *g*

1 I’ll explain it in the next post.

  1. Right on, Moby. Thanks for sticking up for us. I hate judging before having all of the facts….either by others or me. And, obviously, you never know who may be listening! And, even worse, who may speak up and chop your head off! Good for you.

  4. Ha ha. Good for you. That’s cool. I bet he didn’t see that one coming. I like it when people get put on the spot like that. I’m sure you opened his eyes, and he’s probably already signed up on WordPress now.

  6. Wait… blogging gets us laid? Am I doing it wrong?? Damn it.

    Thanks for speaking up for us! 🙂 Even those of us what blog and DON’T have lives

  8. Go get ’em tiger. I love that you handled it with such grace. Made him look even more silly.

    Now about this bear entry…I think you qualify too cause you’ve got some beef. The facial hair, happy trail, and patch of chest hair would qualify me, too…and you imagine somebody calling me a bear?? LOL
