MY Vast Right Wing Conspiracy

New Blog Showcase

• Posted by Beth on May 16th, 2006 filed in Blogs, Carnivals    

Welcome to the latest edition of the Showcase Carnival, where new bloggers are introduced!

I hosted one of these a year ago, because of my blog anniversary. So I figured with this being my two-year point, I’d do it again. It’s a good way to be humbled, after all–my blog SUCKED in the beginning, unlike the ones you’ll find in this post. (Don’t go look, my n00b “blogging” was just tossing up links. Not worth the click.) Point being, if you’re a new blogger and feeling a little frustrated by the lack of visitors, don’t give up just yet. If I can pull out of the basement with my atrocious beginnings and, um, occasionally offensive content, then you will too. Be sure to take advantage of all the things written by successful bloggers on how to increase your visibility, too.

All right, with that, on to the Showcase!

First entry is for Snarky Gossip, with Make Your Baby Stupid Even Earlier With BabyFirstTv. That’s right, BabyFirstTV. 24-7 programming for babies. :shudder:

Once you take out all the marketing crap in there, it’s boiled down to this: BabyFirstTV will get that baby to stop bugging you so you can get some &$^% done. Okey dokey!

Yep, that sounds about right to me. Well-deserved and well-served snark! And for you Brangelina and Tom Cruise “fans,” (heh) they aren’t spared either. It’s an equal opportunity snarky gossip blog!

Next up is Awareness and Consciousness, written by Kavit Haria. He submitted three pieces, all of which are interesting. This blog may not be in the realm of blogs you usually read, but it’s relevant to anyone. First up, The Intimate Human-Chimp Relationship will be of interest to spiritualists and to those interested in the evolution/ID/creation debate, as he explores the similarities and differences between humans and chimps. He notes the uniqueness of the human soul as the crucial difference, and asks:

What is your uniqueness? What is your ‘personal identifier’? How do you want to be remembered? What is the one special thing about you or what you do that you want to stand out?

Nicely done–something that can speak to those involved in the evolution/ID/creation debate, without making it a controversial political issue. He also does this in the next entry, Death Row Lessons. While he does oppose the death penalty, it’s not the focus of his post. Instead, personal choices are, using the example of a wrongly convicted (and eventually released) man.

The biggest message I was able to take away from his talk is “choices.” Juan put a lot of emphasis on understanding that each and everyone has a choice. He said he made the choice to forgive those who got him in their for nearly 18 years because it was his choice. If he chose to continue being angry, it would only hurt him inside and so his choice was to forgive.

Finally, Kavit asks, “What would you want inscribed on your tombstone?”

My message here is for you to live today as if you were told that you only had a few months to a year remaining in this life. Look over your life and ask yourself, “have I really achieved everything I wanted to?” If the answer is no, make a list of what you want to do, and commit to beginning that process of completion today.

I’m really not doing justice to these articles; they should be read in their entirety to get the full impact. I took a look around the rest of the site, and found something that jumped out at me specifically–eek! Spring Clean your Clutter! (running away!) So I guess that means it’s time to procrastinate with that clutter cleaning and move on to the next blog…

All right…oh, great. Just what I need, more time watching videos! (You regulars here know what I mean.) Slickhead has lots of ‘em. Here’s one I’d never even heard of! It’s Princess! (by the creators of South Park - Banned Episodes - Part One)

Another video by popular (*cough, cough*) demand - Princess. By the same guys that bring you South Park (Matt Stone and Trey Parker). Take South Park, add some sexual humor, sprinkle a bit of Christopher Lowell and there you have it. Enjoy, part one of Princess.

OK, lemme just give you a little warning for that video. That’s a mild description–it’s NOT for kids, folks. Very, very adult humor, OK? Don’t wanna see that? How about South Park - Trapped in the Closet (full episode)? Or a clip from the Dave Chapelle show?

Possibly also written by Slickhead (I’m just guessing), My Mobile Phone Guide is next. It’s kinda like a Gizmodo or Engadget for mobile phones. Check out this phone:

Expected features include:

* MicroSD slot
* 4Gb internal hard disk
* 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus, mechanical shutter and LED Flash
* VGA res camera in the front for video conferencing
* 2.5 inch (240 x 320 px) 16 million color display
* 802.11b/g for making VoIP calls, Bluetooth (ver 2.0), and USB connectivity
* Runs on Series 60 3rd edition
* FM tuner
* Quadband (international)

OMG, I waaaant one of those! Too bad for us, it’s not expected to be released until Q1 2007. He’s got “secret” pictures of it, though.

Last but not least (!), a Christian Infidel, whose “God is not afraid of Piglet.” hahahaha Hey Infidel, feel free to snag a Zionist Crusader button from the sidebar, if you like. Infidel Matt has an offer you can’t refuse, with Solution Found, Canada On Sale–bidding is up to $75 already and bidding ends tonight! Maybe if you toss in a six-pack of Labatt’s you could be the proud owner of Canada.

I certainly was not impressed with the country that is coming to mind right now. I must say, I never even fathomed that any human being would be foolish to take up residence in what modern man dubs “Canada.” I assumed that the frozen hinterlands of nowhere (Canada) would always stand as a testament of how brilliant Americans are for knowing when to halt their northward expansion. After all, we already possessed the non-frozen, livable land.

The Australians, however, those are a sharp-witted folk, and they have granted me this revelation. In order to solve the Canadian problem (and you would be foolish to think there isn’t one), I shall place the entire nation of Canada for sale, right here, on this very blog.

Wait, if Canada is sold, then where are all the “huge numbers” of pacifist military deserters going to go? Where will moonbats go when they lose the election in 2008? Mexico? :mrgreen:

And with that, dear infidels, we conclude this week’s new blog Showcase Carnival.

You can find more carnival listings at the Conservative Cat (scroll down), at the Blog Carnival site, and the TTLB’s carnival aggregator.

For more information about the Showcase, see the Showcase site. If you’ve been blogging three months or less, you can participate. See the full guidelines here. Next week’s Showcase will be hosted by Random Yak, who graciously allowed me to steal this week away from him. (Thanks, Yak!) I’m sure Ogre can always use some volunteers to host later on, too!
