In case you haven't noticed, I love to blog on my blog! I am a "blogger." When I am killed, it will say "Matthew Elpiejumpers: BLOGGER" in big letters.
I love blogging and I LOVE BLOGS. Other blogs that I have read include some that I found on Google.com. I also love websites! I am yet to find another person who loves blogs and websites as much as I do. Until NOW, that is.
I was looking on one GREAT website about rookie baseball cards, called "rookie-baseballcards.com." If you want to be linked to that from my blog, go to "Http://www.rookie-baseballcards.com." I was looking at this website and I saw a comment by "Barney Newbold" that says
"The website writer carries a certain talent to describe truly excellent topics. Reads the website is really nice and you will find naturally a lot of regular website visitors. No miracle, while using great content material. In any circumstance, it was a delight to commit time on your web site and understand the interesting posting."
I said "Wow!" Barney had expressed everything that my heart was trying to think about this website, even though he clearly didn't speak English very wellly. I immediately looked him up on Facebook.com, hoping that we could be Facebook.com "friends" and maybe real "friends" as well too, but there is no Barney Newbold on Facebook.com. I also tried myspace.com, in case he is old or has an unsuccessful music band, but he is not there either. I thought it was cool that Barney Newbold loves websites like rookie-baseballcards.com but not the big ones like Facebook.com or myspace.com, and then I wanted to be "friends" with him even more.
A Google.com search for "Barney Newbold" showed SEVENTY-FOUR RESULTS. Wow, this guy really gets around, even though he isn't on Facebook.com! He used to post on a LOT of blogs about baseball cards, responsible drinking during parents' weekend at Wesleyan University, creative crafts and jewelry, the Blackberry Storm (maybe he was leaving comments from a Blackberry storm!!! I want one!), bankers, and shoes! All of his comments are very nice, like:
"The blog site article author features a specific ability to describe truly fine topics. Reads the weblog is truly good and there are obviously a lot of normal website visitors. No wonder, with the fine content material. In any situation, it was a delight to invest time in your web site and examine the exciting write-up."
Or
"Most information sites often copy other websites or internet websites of newspaper publishers and magazines. Subscribe to this blog here I like that you can find unique posts that you could hardly come across elsewhere. Fortunately, you will find nonetheless these types of information sites, please continue! I can no longer see the popular media. It is there so much junk composed, I bear it no much more soon. A actually pleasant blog site, regards."
This is a REFRESHING break from other comments like these:
"It appears like you’re creating troubles yourself by attempting to solve this situation rather than taking a look at why"
By "Ride Snowboards." What on EARTH does that have to do with snowboards? Also, why what? Finish your thought, dummy!
Some of these posts are clearly done by computer programs who are probably "phishing." I am very glad that I have only seen three comments so far that were "suspicious" (see under my last post, people were talking about s***s and their v*****s)! I wish I had more people like Barney posting on my blog, who were nice and wanted to tell me I was doing an okay job.
Unfortunately, this story has a sad ending. I also found THIS on Google.com, in a newspaper:
"Until death do us part
Mr. Barney Newbold died suddenly on Thursday evening. Barney was one of the most muscular men in Lansdale and weighed over 200 pounds. He was adopted and raised by Mr. Barney Fisher and for some time had been employed in Long’s brick yard. Several years ago he married Miss Fox and last year built for himself a snug little house on Fourth Street.
He commenced to complain on the Saturday previous to his death
but slept well that night It is the opinion of his physician that on Saturday, which was extremely warm, he re- ceived a partial sunstroke and that his illness was augmented by the drinking of too much water.
He was rational Sunday morning but when his wife called him to breakfast, he failed to rise and she went for the physician but the poor fellow passed into a comatose condition from which he never roused."
So there you have it. Barney Newbold, a muscular man from Landsdale, Pennsylvania, who was probably a banker, wore Air Jordans, had a Blackberry Storm and had a kid in Wesleyan University, died in May 2008 and had an article in the newspaper about it. Now he can never comment on blogs again.
With all my hopes and dreams,
Matthew Elpiejumpers
