Blogger

As I mentioned a couple of days ago, Ryan started a new blog, to which he's posted one item so far.

I helped him set it up the other day, and we quickly discovered that none of the blogger URLs he wanted were available. I can't remember all the combinations that he tried, but he even got desperate enough to check the availability of Ryan Rambles. I had a similar experience finding my URL, though admittedly Tori is a less common name than Ryan, so I had a little better chance of finding something with my name in it.

The kicker is when I actually looked at some of the blogs belonging to our coveted names. Tori.blogspot.com is a blog that appears to have been started in 2001, and has a whopping total of zero posts on it. I nearly contacted Tori to see if I could take her URL. Though I admit that saying that I ramble is not the nicest thing I could say about myself, this woman's blog is even more more self-deprecating. Her tagline: A bunch of worthless crap dedicated to my worthless life -_-. Apparently there's not a whole lot to say when you think you have a "worthless life."

RyanRambles.blogspot.com is a similarly titillating website. This particular Ryan has posted one entry to his blog, back in August of 2006, entitled "Hooray, you found the first post!"

This is how my Ryan ended up with a name like My Dog is Ridiculous for his blog. I don't think he intends to blog solely about said dog, Maddie. But I have a particularly ridiculous story to tell about her. I am giving Ryan exactly two more days to write about it, then it's all mine.
