The Friday Remix Celebrity Edition (Or A sneak peak at The Blog Herald vs The Blogging Times Or I am not a weed carrier)
Britney Spears will be appearing without clothes in the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar. I have no follow up. But these folks do.
A fascinating piece of writing about how Eminem destroyed hip hop and the only way to save it is by putting weed carrier Yayo back in jail. (Note: When a successful rap group gets their (usually far less talented) friends a record deal the friend is called a weed carrier. And yeah, it’s an insult.)
I only marry smart, beautiful women. But the problem is that I’ll fuck any chick with a short skirt and a ham sandwich. Yungfook has put together a nice list of beautiful and intellegent women who’s phone numbers I don’t have.
YouTube Stars are popping up all over the place. LisaNova chats with Minic at The Blogging Times. And Terra Naomi chats with David over at the Blog Herald.
The Blogging Times has also started a series called ‘Why I Blog‘. First up is Jeremy Wright. O.K., so it’s not exactly How I Blog, but it does seem like The Blog Herald is getting some competition…This should be fun to watch.
I have a friend who can’t remember passwords. Google has saved him.
Diane is thismuch older than me. But something tells me she knows the day man first walked on the moon.
Sometimes sites I like disappear while others “bungee jumping with the rope around the neck.”
Almost forgot! a quick shout out to the Boston Globe’s online guy for saying “When Chartreuse makes his point, it’s poetic and devastatingly clear.” That’s sooo much better than what my ex-wives say…

Blogging Times has already won. Much better coverage. Finally news, not snarky crap. It actually reads like a newspaper except constantly updated. Professional and clean. The google ads kill the herald. I could see major offline type brands on the Times. I’ve met Minic he’s part of the unofficial NYC Blog Mafia. He’s a worker and smart guy. Game over. I think he’s just getting started.
June 30, 2006 at 12:31 pm
I’d like to think its not a us vs them battle. I catch both daily papers in a lot of towns for different perspectives. I love what Minic is doing and am constantly offering support. As web 2.0 evolves there will be a lot more collaboration and a lot less competition. aka Coopetition.
The Blog Herald needs work like news coverage again like back in the day when Duncan was all over that. I also hate the Google Ads but as publisher who wants to make a publication profitable I understand the need for it. However if it was me I would just have ads on the archived pages and not on the front page.
That’s my 2 cents.

Kids know everything.

Teaching children hatred isn’t right. That’s one of the biggest source of problems in our world today. Hatred seeds evil seed hatred its a vicious cycle of violence. You should treat your children like adults and not use them as props. Because kids are more like adults than we realize. Especially their souls and hearts. In fact they are probably purer than adults in that respect. And intelligence wise they utilize far more of their brain than adults do as well.
June 30, 2006 at 12:56 pm
Kids are props, and I get them young and poison their young minds. I maintain an Island off the coast of Fiji where I am brainwashing a group of kidnapped children. They will be a super-human race of kids who prefer the blogging times. I don’t care if you are on to my plan. No one will stop me. No one.
June 30, 2006 at 12:58 pm
I was actually being serious mate. Kids deserve respect and shouldn’t be forced to be props. You joke and laff around about the issue. But I think its disgusting.
June 30, 2006 at 12:58 pm
That smart women article is scary. My testicles retracted to my abdomen as I read it.
June 30, 2006 at 1:03 pm
NO joke Range.
June 30, 2006 at 1:04 pm
Guys, calm down.
What was most interesting to me is the fact I now have some new slang.
“Weed Carrier” is hilarious.
June 30, 2006 at 1:20 pm
TerryC,
The statement “Calm Down” has been used in most cases just prior to the launch of a nuclear attack. It rarely if ever calms people down. In fact psychologists from the leading national institutes have found out in 99 of 87 cases its causes people to flip out and not calm down.
Just an FYI.
June 30, 2006 at 1:32 pm
I’m calm. I have a race of Super Children.
June 30, 2006 at 1:33 pm
I should know that. I hate when people tell me that.
I just wanted to get back on topic. But since this is Chartruese’s site I know thats not really possible. 🙂
June 30, 2006 at 1:35 pm
It was semi on topic.
June 30, 2006 at 2:02 pm
I’m going to do a real post at some point comparing the two sites. Then we’ll know who wins! 🙂
And I like the Loren/Krug fights. A little tension is good for ratings.
And speaking of tension, how come no one mention that one of his smart/beautiful women is dead. That’s creepy.
I was also upset Jolie didn’t make the list.
June 30, 2006 at 2:44 pm
Loren is good for business for me too. He reminds people I’m still alive. He’s actually one of my biggest pr perks. Whenever he opens his mouth my traffic goes up, AIM goes off the hook ” Did you see what Loren did? ” etc etc.
So bravo. Now I understand why JOAB was good for a lot of blogging networks.

By the way there’s a whole Weed Carrier blog. They did a hilarious poll last May for their 1st Annual Weed Carrier Awards. Saddingly, they removed the poll when voting closed but the winner write-ups are funny too.
See them here:

Also Char you don’t need a record deal to be a weed carrier! Though it is surely every carrier’s goal to get one.
June 30, 2006 at 4:48 pm
Thank you for that claification Rafi. I would hate to use the phrase wrong and lose my HipHop pass!
June 30, 2006 at 5:29 pm
It applies to blogging too.
For example, Chartreuse carries my weed day in and day out, just for the occasional link.
June 30, 2006 at 6:48 pm
I do it for the girls, too. 🙂
June 30, 2006 at 7:13 pm
I figured it was only a matter of time before this comparison started up.
Allow me to point something out:
I’ve heard this opinion: “I miss the snarky voice at The Blog Herald”
And then I hear this opinion: “I wish they’d cover news and not have the snarky voice”
And various versions of that.
In the end, we’re going to follow our own heart – which is led to the success that we’ve had so far and will continue to have. I never cared much for critics anyways.
I think Minic is doing a fine job at Blogging Times and I wish him success. But we’re different sites doing different things.

i DON’T KNOW MUCH ABOUT ANY OF THIS BUT THAT KID IS FREAKIN CUTE!
June 30, 2006 at 7:57 pm
fall back meta-blog bloggers.
obviously the yawnfest of blogblogblog vs blogmania: the blog is not as important as the revelation of the term ‘weed carrier’ to those who have never heard it before.
June 30, 2006 at 8:02 pm
I like the weed carrier term 🙂
June 30, 2006 at 8:23 pm
There’s nothing more depressing than having to retire perfectly good slang. Cutting edge with the social networks and blog/2.0 angles no question, but you people just Kenny G’d the term.
June 30, 2006 at 8:32 pm
I just waterskied suckers.
Muskoka rocks.
June 30, 2006 at 9:57 pm
Her ugly body and stupid brain…I’m about to get sick. Ugh. Pregnant Porn is so 1970s. Thanks for, uh, the, oh there it goes. My whole lunch. Darn it.

“Weed Carrier” will not be Kenny G’d until Scoble starts using it. 🙂

Hey Prince – great catch for the connection between the first moon landing and my birthday. I remember it very clearly because we were camping and listening to it on the radio. My Uncle Gurney explained that men were walking on the moon and we were listening to their voices.
The memory is so clear that I can remember that I got a toy guitar and a bucket and shovel as presents and we had a cake with no pink flowers on it (a major upset).
July 4, 2006 at 11:33 pm
WTF’s wrong with weed? It’s the miracle medicine.

he talks abot the REAL life which isn´t always just fine and sunny! He might educate his children better then you do! He knows whats going on and he´s not afraid to say it. He is one of the most famous rapper and look where he is . A white rapper! And he is very very good! AT least he knows what hes talkin bout and he is right so dont say anythink against him if you dont even know him. He is a very good person and a better rapper
