Unfortunately, not everyone has talent

Friday, July 15th, 2005 @ 8:43 am | Web-logger

But I thought that was apparent enough. Well fortunately for many, (like me), the ability to blog-original just shines like a sparkling 10-carat, 66-cut brilliant diamond. With people like us, not only do we excel in the blogosphere, ideally, we also bring forth this talent to the real world, and apply it to our everyday lives, be it at work, at home or even when you talk to your Ma.

That is the talent of being able to string words together, and talk about life, with your very own views, describe what you have seen before, and make a befitting commentary to it, or even, say something funny about it… and maybe, sometimes, twist the original copycat around and parody it into something hilarious.

***

As for the not-so-fortunate few (whoever said God was fair?), at least they're smart enough to strike where the opportunity arises. Searching high-and-low for inspiring information first supplied by other places, well then, come, let me segregate that information further, and call them Interesting Stuff.

The result, of course, is a melting pot of quite useless junk, but we're still drawn to it anyway.

At least he is earning a living out of it. I wonder if he'll survive elsewhere, or otherwise. Poor thing, I suppose some people have to resort to drastic motions.

I'm grateful that I was born with brains.

    No seriously, what were you trying to say ah?

    haha. bet that one hurt him in the gut…:wink:

  3. MotherChicken Says:

    Ahhh… minishorts… she’s talking about a certain spammer in PPS who runs a so called “Blog of Interesting Stuff”. Give him some credit though, he’s very proficient with the Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V keys.

  4. John Kuan Says:

    Well, content is hard to come by! Maybe -whoevertheyare- just don’t really know what to talk about and consider themselves a contribution to the blogsphere with the useless junk.

    Rule of thumb for me - if its a meme or a link - pass it off.

    Congratulations about the brains btw ;)

  5. Pam Says:

    Good morning! You’re up earli….
    everyone’s born wif brains, whether or not they utilise it is one thing. I’m glad you use them! :lol:

  6. matakecil Says:

    wellsaid indeed. sometimes reality can really be painful to acknowledge. :neutral:

  7. SaDdNesZ.jc Says:

    ouch…

    *goes away to another blog because his brains aren’t good enough for this blog…

  8. T-Boy Says:

    You want to know what’s more painful?

    Thanks to the new Google PageRank ratings, he gets a 5/10.

    Petaling Street and my blog gets a 4.

    Wtf?

  9. minishorts Says:

    Sey: you need to be in touch with the PPS gossip to understand this.

    simon: unfortunately, i’m not sure if he’s smart enough to understand what i say. he usually isn’t.

    motherchicken: someone was also too chickenfeet to turn up at the pps bash, even though he said he was.

    pam: yeah, true also. but i still think some people are born without them.

    matakecil: thank you for concurring.

    jc: i wasn’t talking about you lah… blur case.

    tariq: yeah same rank as me and kenny pulak. this is not right.

  10. ryuu Says:

    what’s this “brains” thing u guys are talking about? :shock:

    :mrgreen:

  11. tsetse-fly Says:

    that head of yours got brains meh? half the time u are not making sense, completely incoherent and definitely raving like a lunatic.
    btw u are really good at buttering yourself sick! got a new name for you- minishorts the bitch-a-lot.

  12. Peter Says:

    You so expert in no shadow kick wan ah?

  13. sktheo Says:

    What has he done to deserve all these? BTW, I don’t read his blogs. Just curious..

  14. minishorts Says:

    ryuu: darling, i’m sure you know what im talking about. any problems msg me please.

    tsetse: tell me something i don’t already know, please.

    peter: huh? where got no-shadow kick? :twisted:

    sktheo: then i suggest you pay him a visit.

  15. SaDdNesZ.jc Says:

    Dear Bitch-a-lot,

    It seems that you do have quite a following… The only thing that i do not understand though, is why do the people who confess they hate you (ala-tsetse) still visit your blog???

    Maybe it’s these kind of ppl that you were talking about in this posting???

    Yours truly,

    Blur case

  16. viewtru Says:

    Oi….talking about me again, izzit? Don’t lah. Give chance a bit mah. I see you use the words “Ma” “parody” “hilarious” and of course only ‘Lai Ma’ and no one else fits the description. Anyway, I’m doing it for pleasure and definitely not earning a living out of it. Peace!

  17. sktheo Says:

    Just visited the site…..He’s got his own style what. He cut & paste info for benefit of others to see what.

    I don’t think that is the reason for all this right? Must be something else…tell us lah.

    Anyway, like your blogs.

  18. Vagus Says:

    geezuz christ! 10-carat, 66-cut????

  19. Pam Says:

    lolx…. minishorts: jangan le cakap cam tu… haha! farnee lar u…
    Haffa good Friday n weekend!

  20. tsetse-fly Says:

    SaDdNesz.jc: hey U! JACKASS! Buzz off!

    minishorts: as always, your response has been very meek. been reading your blog everyday, infact. but this is the first time i am responding to your posts. i must admit, the fastest way to stardom when it comes to blogging is to bitch. why i am writing this, coz i writing about the blogging culture around the world.

  21. truth_seeker Says:

    I respectfully disagree. There are many type of blogs around. There are type where bloggers express opinions based on current issues, and their views and make sensible / funny comments about it such as your self which makes me hooked! there are also the more personal type where they just wanted to tell about what they had been doing, their updates and conflicts, just for their friends and act as a personal journal and this guy ka-soon, is the type that gathers all things that interests him and share out throug his blog. i am not a supporter of his blog or anything (know it through your rattling about him in this post)and as I have no concern over him spamming project petaling street, i am quite dissapointed by someone with brain, that is you, making such shallow remarks… but mark my word, it’ll never effect me to coming here and reading your clever remarks again! cheers!:razz:

  22. minishorts Says:

    jc: i have NO IDEA. but they always make me laugh. and that’s a good thing of course.

    viewtru: whack you on the head then you know. always so perasan one.

    sktheo: i also suggest you visit pps.

    pam: it looks like its going to be quite good, so far. thanks. same to you too.

    tsetse: your intelligence astounds me. here, have a non-existent cookie.

    seeker: wow. your absence will be sorely missed. and honey, you’ve got your references screwed up.

  23. truth_seeker Says:

    …and oh sorry i forgot but there are similar guy that i know that do this and it’s quite interesting (or maybe he ciplak from here, I dont know, dont really care)

    The Superficial - because you are ugly only this guy focuses more on artists…

  24. Confused Says:

    Wow, this is interesting…No, really.

    Now, I’ve read about all this nonsense going on about banging that poor camera salesman… and while he may not be intelligent enough to voice his opinions, perhaps he just needs a helping hand.

    Page Rank? Oh, umm okay. Your sex stories are so great everyday people flock to your blog for a hard on, and thus you rank equal to Kenny the great? Sweet, didn’t know this was a benchmark.

    Madam, you make it sound, being able to write a sentence coherently, whine about your daily period occurrence down to the last painstaking moment, turning it around and making it “funny”? is talent? Sounds like a subterfuge used to hide mediocrity.

    While I don’t personally use PPS yet, I don’t agree with how he spams the board… however, to insult him, instead of discussing with him, how you’d like to resolve the matter, you get down to insults…but no, not normal insults, it’s the Holier-than-thou- camouflaged inbetween words to sustain your lousy insecurities and reassurance as having, if any, talent and/or brilliance.

    Before you go on about bitching, [as oppossed to blogging?] No, I don’t own a blog, and you can save your usual default defence mechanism counter to criticism, Oh S/he own a blog less famous than mine and thus is grumpy over my fame(?)

    Before you go crazy, No, I am not really just defending Kahsoon here, but however, I would defend anyone else in similar position. He goes about with what interests him most, and you have to degrade even that. Maybe he doesn’t have your reader base, because he doesn’t have erection inducing content, and maybe he doesn’t have a similar IQ as you, but he’s human, and that’s reason enough for me.

    It is also rather sad, people join the bandwagon and computate that their opinion, if not aligned with yours, would be incorrect, or feel they don’t have any opinion, and thus get one that is falsely made God.

    Take care.

    Cheers.

  25. minishorts Says:

    confused: at least i don’t delete their non-aligned-with-minishorts opinions, but please if you don’t know what’s going on seriously, try to be less verbal. otherwise your very lengthy post quite impresses me. now go and start a blog already so that i can label you as jeles.

  26. IB Says:

    MS,

    Blogs that list interesting things and do mini reviews of them are just as good as story blogs. Check out http://www.bookofjoe.com.

    The writer you are talking about may not be his level, but hey, he can do what he wants - his blog. I find it better than people who REPEATEDLY ping old stuff over and over again.

    Your bitching is not funny. It’s self aggrandizing, petty and mean. Big fucking deal he didn’t turn up in the PPS meet n greet.

    IB

    PS your blog is not that original.

  27. IB Says:

    Oh, and just found this little gem in a post you made 2 posts back:

    “don’t let’s compete, don’t let’s compare, don’t let’s criticize, and don’t, don’t, don’t let’s (blog)-bash.”

    How very funny.

  28. SaDdNesZ.jc Says:

    Ouch… and DOUBLE Ouch…

    Someone’s gettin’ personal…

    and defensive…

    and ‘jeles’ (minishorts; 2005)

    and… whatever…

  29. Confused Says:

    I don’t know what’s going on?

    Aren’t you whinning about Kahsoon? In case you didn’t know, his real job is that he works in a camera shop.

  30. minishorts Says:

    i have posted a new post in response to this. now get a life already.

  31. tsetse-fly Says:

    cannot take the heat izzit? therefore the new posting to gun them all? u poor thing?

  32. minishorts Says:

    tsetse: no lah, i thought a single post would make you guys SMARTER. consider that a contribution of mine to help society improve. :twisted:

  33. Wingz Says:

    OMFGROTHLMAOMCHCCBKNNPYTHKCHKLTLLMCFH!!!!!!:mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

  34. viewtru Says:

    Okay, now I know who you people are bitching about. So it’s that PPS spammer! He once devoted a whole posting to trash one of my more popular articles. LOL.

  35. belacan Says:

    haiyar, i so lambat to party/tembak over here. dang! :twisted:

  36. Sey Says:

    :mrgreen:
    ahahahhaa…erm… no seriously I am still lost.

  37. minishorts Says:

    i say, if you’re verbally talented enough to trash an entire posting of mine (like how that fella did to viewtru), go ahead, i’ll even credit you for your language mastery.

    but otherwise. don’t even try just to fall flat.

    i’m sorry if my rating systems doesn’t impress you, remember that age old mantra, don’t like, just get out. don’t talk so much, after all, you know it won’t make me want to make you love me more.

  38. INTERNET POLICE Says:

    “Unfortunately, not everyone has talent”

    When I read the title, I had a little flutter of hope that you’d finally realised the truth about yourself.

    Oh well.

  39. IB Says:

    Internet Police - LMFAO literally. That was just TOO Perfect!!!!

    *love fest over - return to mundane internet cat fighting*

  40. minishorts Says:

    nah i think InterPol and IB just want attention. both of you behave as if you sorely need some loving. try each other, and IB, i’m sure InterPol is not asian… but even if he is, when you’re sexually deprived, SOMETHING is better than nothing.

  41. IB Says:

    Dearie, if anyone is blog whoring - it is you, what with your “troll” posts.

    You should know about the sexual deprivation. In any case, I disagree with you, something is not always better than nothing. Only people with no standards think that.

    I fail to see what Interpol’s race has to do with anything.
