The Importance of MySpace's Blog Rankings

Straight-up honest, I pay attention to MySpace’s blog rankings.
I don’t see anything wrong with it, either. Imagine yourself telling people you’re a blogger. I guarantee you one of the first things they’re going to ask you is how much traffic does your blogs receive. In the case of MySpace, you might say you usually rank top ten in a particular category. That might catch people’s interest. Telling them you sometimes rank top ten in MySpace’s All Category section definitely catches their attention.
But what if you told people your blogs never make it to a top ten in any category? By this time, people will lose interest in you as a blogger real fast. Why? They figure you might be a mediocre blogger, one whose blogs aren’t worth reading. They figure if no one else reads you, why should they.
On MySpace itself, I bet many people don’t pay attention to who ranks what in a particular category. They don’t search the News, Arts or Life sections. More than likely, their attention usually focuses on who ranks what in the All Category section. If they do search a particular category, their attention might reach as far as the top ten. I know this firsthand. You see, only a few attack Stone Crazy when he’s ranked 18, 13 or even 11. But when your’s truly ranks 10 and up? That’s when haters pounce.
Don’t let people fool you. If rankings weren’t so important, my blogs wouldn’t receive the hate it usually attracts. Few people would care about Stone Crazy ranking at number 12 in the Politics Category. But Stone Crazy ranking at 10? For some, that’s trouble.
Of course we know high rankings inspires cheating, fixing blogs to gain constant hits. The more hits a blog receives, the higher the rankings. I really don’t know how the cheaters do it. Still, some bloggers practice it.
I figure the more you feel you have to cheat, the less writing talent you probably own. Folks can’t be fooled. Many know a mediocre blog does not rank high unless the blogger is cheating. The blogger may have fooled some people. Still, others can see right through them.
High blog rankings could lead to better things. You never know, you could probably get a book deal. That has actually worked for some bloggers. If you’re a comedian, your high blog rankings could attract the attention of a well-connected agent. If you’re one of them there bigoted, right-wing types, you too can be the next Rush or Glenn.
As for those jumping on their high horse proclaiming they just don’t give a damn about rankings? Stop lying. If that was true, you and your ilk wouldn’t be attacking me when my blogs rank high.

Hypocrite Voters

For years, some folks have just outright been voting for the wrong people. Even when they knew they were voting for the wrong ones, they went right ahead and kept voting for the same people who continually screwed them over and over again. Even when these people have outright lied to them, some folks kept voting for them.
After continually voting like that, some conservatives demand our current President to quickly make everything good again. They demand him to quickly bring us back to the time before folks began losing homes, jobs, etc. Some didn’t even vote for the guy. Oh no, they were voting for the one that was going to make things worse. Either that or he and his bimbo Vice President was going to sit on their asses and allow things to get worse. Yet, here are these same conservative voters being very critical of our current President. What is the Stone Crazy answer to that? Fuck you.
Fuck you because you kept voting for the ones who lead America to the economic shit hole it now sits in. Fuck you because even when you knew the last crew was fucking up, you continued to follow them anyway. Fuck you because you still were going to use the same old outdated model. Everyone else attempting to move to the new and improved. Yet, you still wanted to hold on that old, worn-out model with parts falling off.
Now, you demand our current President to quickly fix the problems your buddies caused during the Bush years? Again what do I say? Fuck you.

Here’s an old Millie Jackson classic.

Playlist: Songs I Usually Play On My DJ Nights

Tonight the laptop and I serve the beats to the patrons of Little Fish, Huge Pond. What was once a one night thing has now turned into a three niter. Besides Wednesday nights, I also deejay for Little Fish on Fridays and Saturdays.
Today, I’ll share my play list with you, songs that I normally play during my nights.

First, I usually start with seventies music. Sometimes I start with rock.


Sometimes, I start with soul or funk.


Then, I usually go straight to hip hop. Sometimes, hip hop would take up the whole night. Picture this: a bunch of white kids listening to hip hop as they drink malt liquor. I shit you not. This is how the night rolls.


Sometimes, the night would roll on to some techno or whatever it’s called today.


I personally believe a deejay should possess songs in which the whole bar would sing to. I rocked two different bars with this song.


This is how I end the night. I slow it down with Michael. Not to get people to slow dance but to get people to realize it’s time to get the fuck out.

This is usually my final song.
