I’ve mentioned a few times how I am a member of several community blog sites and of those writingup.com was one of the most popular. As popular as it was it didn’t managed to survive which is why I am always telling the serious blogger how they should have a blog on their own domain.
Anyway, I had quite a good time on writingup, and as it turns out I was a bit of a mischievous flirt. I wrote a poem there that I called, Sire’s So Stupid, and as I recall it got quite a few comments, as did Ode To His Women, that I have posted on one of my other blogs. Perhaps some of you used to be members of the now defunct writingup, and if so you may well remember some of the bloggers in the following poem, or even in Ode To His Women.
Yeah! You heard right. Sire is Stupid!
Who else but Sire feigns to play Cupid?
The only thing he did that was sane
Was the Ode To His Women, that is plain
As for the rest, lets put it to the test
And see how his stupidity reigns the best
Forever does he try, to look up sassys skirt
For he has heard her arse is so pert.
Then you all know how its spookys pants
And his attempt to get into them put all in a trance
Thank God for Diva Jamaicana’s sobriety
She tries to make Sire acceptable to society
And Bornsandy, without you Sire would be lost
If not for you Sire from WU would be tossed
Sire’s so stupid, his quotes are crude
But Inquest is there to change the mood
Sire’s so stupid he always posts of money
Yet Skouba’s there to remind him it ain’t funny
Sire’s so f’n stupid he always gets sucked in
To such challenges as Quantamamas stupid postin’
Sire’s so stupid, he talks of himself in the third person
Sire’s so stupid he will never learn his lesson
Sire’s so stupid, though he will fail this test!
Sire’s so bloody stupid he will still think himself the best!

Gee, I don’t know Brian, I’ve actually been holding onto this for awhile.
And I thought I could spit rhymes, nothing in comparison to writing a poem like that. Nice work Sire!

Goodness, you wrote this when on Writing Up? I didn’t know you then, but I know some of those names from the other blogging service that tanked, in my opinion. Wow! :surrender_tb:
.-= Mitch´s last blog ..Removed Whydowork Adsense Plugin =-.
Sure did Mitch. I was quite active in that community, and I remember that quite a lot of members were shocked when it tanked.

I wasn’t really shocked when BlogFeast crashed, but was stunned when WritingUp failed.
.-= Mitch´s last blog ..Reviewing Visitors =-.
Yeah, but out of the two, I much preferred Blogfeast.
Wow, this poem is not bad at all. I guess you are a man of many talents.
Many sites come and go and you just have to pick the right one. Sorry to hear that writingup.com is just another statistic like so many others.

Yeah, well I saw it coming which is why I saved almost all of my posts.
Shucks John, twernt nuthin’. :blush_tb:
Alright… who wrote this? The sire I know is far from dumb. Cool poem sire! Maybe next time write about how smart you are!

Sometimes self deprecating humor can be the best ;)
In regards to your statement about “telling the serious blogger how they should have a blog on their own domain,” I am usually a little hesitant to do this, but perhaps I should do it more, because I whole heartedly agree.
I look at it like the more people I tell to get their own blog, the less people that use the site. The less people use the site, the less money they make, which means it is more likely I won’t be able to use it for my needs(selfish I know.) As a result, I tend to avoid advocating starting your blog on these sites forums, but perhaps this isn’t really the best approach…
The way I look at it Robert is I’m only giving them my opinion as to what is best for anyone wishing to start their own blog. Whether or not they take my advice is up to them. Those who do take it may well turn out to be loyal followers.
That is a good point and really I do feel bad sometimes when I see someone throwing a crazy amount of time at a social/blog site and then end up having pretty much nothing to show from it…

This is funny Sire. As always your Ausie sense of humor makes me laugh. I had no idea about writing up. Good thing is you have this and the couple others where it’s very hard to lose ;)

I have that affect on some people Stratos and I am so glad you are one of them :smile1_ee:
If you want to be taken seriously you must have your own domain. With domains so cheap, as well as hosting… there is no excuse to not have your own. They could go and mow a couple of lawns and pay for the year :)
Great and funny poem! You have many hidden talents you have been keeping from the world!
.-= Doug Dillard´s last blog ..What’s New at MakingMoneyOnline.com? =-.
Yep, or they could give up smoking and have a whole heap of them.
You’re right about having your own domain name. It is true that being in control of your own destiny requires a little bit of responsibility, but at least you won’t be at the mercy of other peoples’ destinies.
And I enjoyed reading your poem, Sire. I’m not much for poetry, especially because a lot of talentless people think that they can write it. Poetry is at it’s best when it’s rooted in truth, and I have a feeling that there’s some real emotion in that poem. Or am I wrong?
.-= Trey – Swollen Thumb Entertainment´s last blog ..Eliminate Failure From Your Vocabulary =-.
Actually, the poem would make a whole lot more sense if you knew the people in the poem. It was more of a fun piece that I put together. Actually I try to have fun with a lot of my poems, although some can be a little thought provoking. I’ve even done one or two on SEO and Google.
Have you thought of adding a rendition of this to your YouTube channel?
You saw that?
Actually I haven’t given it any thought. Should I recite it or sing it. Then again, I doubt anyone would want to hear me sing. :flush_tb:
Although I certainly do think you to be stupid, it is a great piece of writing. :)

OK Kristi, did you perhaps phrase that comment incorrectly?
It’s just stupid to assume you to be stupid. You offer many cherished moments of cynicism, humor, love, romance, flirtation & somewhere a hidden honesty & courage to say it all. I think it’s a real nice poem. I hope, you do not take this blessing of talent of writing poems lightly.It’s a rare brilliance.

Thanks Chris this just happens to be one of my ‘fun’ posts.
