It has been some time since I posted on this blog. I started The Daily Shag here and have since moved it to it’s own domain, which you have all continued to support time and time again with your visits. I am humbled and eternally thankful. I have many fresh ideas of late, some of which I have begun to put together and others I have yet to. Either way the second half of 2008 is looking pretty bright and will bring much to the table.
Of course you all know The Daily Shag, and what joy it brings me. Finding new and exciting artists is not always so easy, but I enjoy ever second of it. Nothing makes me happy than to know that new eyes have seen the work of true genius. Even if only one person saw it, that is one more person that didn’t see it before. My job is done. I have also found my own niche in the Tumblr world and its has given me a chance to show you some of the thigns I look at each day or a way of summing up a particular part of my life.
Finally, I bring you small anecdotes of my life and stories that are going on in my head. Perhaps I’ll ask for your opinion on things and based on that feedback I will make changes to the blog, or other new ideas that I have going on in my head.
There is a time and place for everything. That goes for blogging as well. Rather than cram every single stupid idea down your throat in one place I will make a few places so you can see it how you like it. If you want some funny stories and leave some feedback, you can come to my corner. If you want quick snip-it’s of what I’m into at the moment then head on over to my tumblr, and The Daily Shag is for all your art lovers out there.
Hope to hear from you all soon,
Tom
The Comment War
There is nothing witty that I would like to say to this person. Unfortunately, the author of a blog that I have frequented and commented on in the past couple days has taken something I’ve said a little too seriously. I have chosen to expose this comment not to insult him or embarress him or for any childish reason like that. In fact, I seek an answer. Why is it that when compliments are dished out to other bloggers/authors, along with a little humor, a verbal war must ensue?
I wanted nothing more than to honor him with more positive feedback, because he wasn’t sure if anyone was reading or cared about what he is doing. Then after he finally gets a subscriber, who quickly told him to pick his head up, in the first place, tells the other person to “f” off. There are so many blogs out their today, that don’t get the attention they deserve, this guy was no different. In a world of so much competition there needs to be room for some sarcastic banter to break the silence. Am I wrong?
