Why it is GREAT to be a Blogger...
It is not all the overtures for sex. Not many of you contact me for that. :( There haven't yet been any marriage proposals from billionaire oil execs that want to lavish me in a nice lifestyle. That is only a pipe dream. ;)
My inbox really only gets filled up by people wanting me to push a political issue, a gay man's health issue, a movie or a musical artist. I do get wonderful music cd's sent to my house like Patty Griffin's breathtaking "Children Running Through" album. I will not be surprised if that album wins a Grammy award because it is THAT good. I once got an offer for an expense-free bed and breakfast weekend in Province Town, but I haven't taken them up on it yet because it involves putting a banner ad on my blog.
Just yesterday, I got an email from Cajun Grocer asking if I would be interested in trying out a free Turducken and writing a review about it on my blog. They are marketing to Cajun bloggers to help get the word out about their fabulous cajun food products. If I accept this food, gorge on it, and write a fabulous review... does this make me a sellout?
With all these marketing pushes to my blog celebrity self, I even dreamed last night that Pokey Chatman sent me something in the mail! In my dream, Pokey sent me a CD where she sings about her struggles and her perseverance. I was happy to hear she is doing well. :) I WAS surprised that Pokey has a great singing voice! WOW. Who would have thought that?
It has me thinking of you other bloggers. I am quite convinced free lube and fleshlights are delivered every week to Durban Bud. I can just tell from his writing style lately. Hell, JIMBO probably gets free beard trimmers and Spice Girl memorabilia. I wouldn't be surprised if Adam's tech-friendly blog gets him free games, consoles and movies. Hmm... didn't Adam just get a new P3? That bitch, Brushstrokes, probably gets free designer curtains to hawk! What are you other bloggers getting?!
Bloggers are uber cool. We are so cool in fact that everyone is marketing to us to spread the news of all that is great to the masses. Life is sweet. ;) Now, if I can only get American Express as a sponsor, an airline, and maybe a cruise ship company, then I'll be set!

I'll tell ya what bud. Bring your racket on up here to NY and I'll restring it for ya...oh yeah.
It's just American commerce trying to find a replacement outlet to the dying print media. And here's someone who doesn't write you to push a political agenda or a product.
All I get offered is free social diseases. I tell them, "No thanks, that's why I hang out with Brett."
What the hey? You Louisianians are so damn corrupt. Who would have thought there were perks involved? Now I will be more leary of what I read in blogs and that includes tennis play by play and scores.
Still not smiling huh? A sexy shot nonetheless.
I was thinking maybe I could practice my kissing technique on you(nothing below mid chest region) and you could give your review as you would any performance. No banners or ads on my behalf.:)
I get to go to free movie screenings! nah-nah-nah
Hmm, the only things I've been sent are gay novels to read and review and thats it.
The only thing I get people telling me to stop posting.
Lets see. I have got the following lately: Moisturiser, Hugo Boss, Industrial Shredder, Razors, vouchers for groceries and theme parks, web camera, back pack, beer, biscuits, £50 hmv vouchers, boots vouchers, metal document case, pens, and so much more, and I did not endorse a single one on my site.
Life can be sweet at times.
I've gotten a few lame things, but I've never written about them. I suspect they'll drop me soon.
I do get several requests from rehabs to place an ad on certain posts.
btw, The term "blog celebrity" is an oxymoron.
Alright....enough.....let's get married and you can have the $1.99 in my bank account. I'll have to talk with the husband first, though. Let me get back to you.
Brett, I LOVE this photo of you.. I don't have my own blog, but do read several a day and your blog is the first I read. I love your sense of reality.... Too bad I'm stuck here in the Mid-West. St. Louis boy here.
man I've missed you while my computer crashed once again, looking good!Give em hell! Beat some butt!
