Project Blog. Bravo!
Why I’m in Project Blog and not Project Runway ….
Project Blog is underway.
The contest is being run in conjunction with Bravo’s Project Runway and is a fun way for bloggers to come up with a weekly post at 3:00 a.m. on a Friday morning.
Every week bloggers are given a weekly challenge which mirrors the challenge that week on Project Runway.
So, you can imagine how relieved I was to find that this week’s challenge didn’t require me to spend a day as a flamboyant gay fashion designer.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that…
In a way, though, the challenge is almost as difficult. We’re supposed to blog about the reasons why we blog.
Get Incensed is, except for those days when I get all mushy and sentimental, a humor blog.
I think you all know where I stand on answering serious questions. Just in case I get eliminated in the first week, I wanted to be on record as saying that I feel asking a humor blog to answer an introspective and weighty question is a prime example of the other blogs ganging up on me to gain an unfair advantage ….
Oops. Sorry. I watched too much of the Democratic debate last night.
I blog for the same reason that the weatherman on the third-ranked local news gives his report every night.
It’s my job and I really don’t care how silly I look.
The other great thing about having a humor blog is that I can comment on anything I’d like and I never run out of material.
Those of you in any kind of serious relationship will know how freeing that can be.
The other benefit is that you can say “the other great thing” and then give two great things and nobody will call you on your grammar because you’re like the little kid with a learning disability — everyone’s just so happy when you get something right.
So, there you have it. This blog encompasses all the qualities of my dream job. It’s a combination of freedom and low expectations.
Now, if I can just figure out a way to get to work with models….
