Baddie Bookmarks, my series of posts that documents my web surfing habits, won’t be complete if I don’t talk about the blogs I regularly visit. Most of those blogs are being authored by Filipinos, but there are sprinkles of foreign blogger blood in my feed reader too.

The Man Blog and the individual blogs of its resident retards: rising Internet star Mikey; Adam Mordo, the human walrus; the newly hitched MigraineBoy; Coco, El Gran Douche-O; the best damned thing since Coco, Riffology; Squid, the Snarkinator; the retarded daily NoisyNoisyMan; and that dude who creeps me out, Steel. Just when you thought you can’t take this fraternity’s badassery anymore with the blog, they take it a notch higher with the awesome awesomeness of the TMB Forum. Disclosure: My soul has already been corrupted by this group of degenerates ever since they inducted me into their manly ranks. Assholes.

1. Coming up with ideas for a blog post can be sooo exhausting.
2. When the most brilliant ideas manifest themselves in your fragile mind, you’re either in a situation where you can’t go online or even take down notes, or you’re too lazy to open your computer and type your mind away.
3. Given enough time, your blog will attract admirers, stalkers, and vandals. Hooray.
4. Your ex is reading how bitter your life is right now. She’s evil.
5. No matter how good you think you are in writing good material, there will always be better writers writing better material a few clicks away. And it makes you sad.
6. Earning money from your blog is not an exact science. It’s a mix of chance and divine intervention.
7. Whoever you think is not reading your blog, probably is.
8. A pretty blog will only hold visitors for a few minutes. Content is where it’s at, yo!
9. One entry is all it takes to set your blog on fire, negatively or positively.
10. If you can’t come up with a good idea for a blog post, the good ol’ “10 Things…” list can always save your day.

I posted this list originally at Pinoy Blogosphere. Yeah, I’m feeling copy-paste-ish today.

I’m back in the strange and sick world of the Blogosphere. I’ve been blogless (new word!) for a month now. This is not the first time. Before, it was voluntary. I shut down my past blogs or simply abandoned them for a short period of time just because I was having my tantrums about life. Silly, I know. But this time, I’ve been blogless because of elements beyond my control. My previous host did a data and server migration, apparently for a couple of days only. But the “couple of days” turned into a week. Then a couple of weeks. And next thing you know, I’m creating another blog because my Consolidated Crap blog is lost in server-migration limbo. Enough of the sad intro. Time for the real origin story.

I have more funds now for my comic book geekity (new word!). I’m now visiting my favorite comic book shop almost every week, whereas before, it was just a monthly deal. And comic books, basically, is the inspiration for this new blog. Stupid, yes. But it’s my blog. So, piss off! Anyway, a longbox is… well… a long box where I keep my most valuable comic book issues. Long story short, this blog is where I keep my personal issues about life and all whatevers inherent to it. Brilliant, eh? Mwehehe.

Now, for a brief recap of the past month (excluding the afformentioned host fiasco):

• I saw the third installment of the X-Men movie franchise. Twice. Just because of that scene after the credits. Bwahaha! The critics slaughtered the movie, but I absolutely love it! And just for the record, Movie Kitty Pryde is so adorably cute! Not hot, but cute nonetheless.
• With all the big comic book events last month like the end of DC Comics’ Infinite Crisis and the start of Marvel Comics’ Civil War, it’s a good time to be a comic book geek. I’ve also started reading DC’s 52 series (weekly!). I’m a very geeky comic book freak right now. And I won’t have it any other way.
• I set up a personal webserver on my PC. Yup. I successfully installed the latest versions of Apache, PHP, MySQL, and PHPMyAdmin on my PC. I am now playing around with the latest versions of content management systems like Xoops, Joomla, and PHP-Fusion, and also WordPress. I’m also remotely debugging and testing yUPieLBi.com. Together with the latest versions of Photoshop and Dreamweaver, I have my very own web development workshop in my room. I guess I’m trying to keep my ComSci spirit alive. Not using it much in my job.
• I went to the beach for the second time this year for our company outing. I don’t know why, but Laiya, Batangas holds a very special place in my cholesterol-ravaged heart. After the outing, I unfortunately got sick. It caused me to miss work for three days. And since I didn’t get a medical certificate for those three days, my salary will get a significant beating this month.
• Being the impatient prick that I am, several weeks of not publishing these stupid stories and experiences was torture. So I came up with a brilliant idea: make a new blog! Genius!

And that’s it for this blog’s stupid origin story. Baddie, out!
