As if I don’t have enough problems. The goddamn Steelers are world champions and the Steeler Nation will become even more unbearable, if such a thing is possible.

But I can’t let that stop me. We’re on a fucking roll.

Internet Icon Dave McAwesome joins our Ranks this week with not one, but two shitty blogs. You’ll have to bear with Dave, he’s just come out of a long period of denial. For the longest time, he refused to admit that his site, Maximum Awesome, was a blog and that he was just another Shitty Blogger. This week Dave stands before us and says, “My name is Dave and I’m a Shitty Blogger.”

So, join me in saying, “Hi Dave.”
There is plenty of coffee and we’ll all go out for a smoke when we are done here. But please, no hugging.
I mean it.

Now that Dave has come clean, he’s added another shitty blog to the mix, Crap or Not Crap. The Shitty Blogs Club was found to be Not Crap. Okay, maybe Dave still suffers some denial.

Keep those memberships rolling in and someone should wake up those missing members. I’m sure they wouldn’t want to miss this.

Be Proud. Be Shitty!

I had a membership drive and actually gained members.

I KNOW!

I’m as shocked as you are.

Please welcome Chad and Kewl. They blog. They’re not necessarily good at it.

And while I’m at it… where the hell is Gus Greeper? And CJ Hixon? Shouldn’t they be here. I think they should be.

Mango is not impressed with yet another revival of the SBC. I guess I should call the whole thing off.

Whatever.

I don’t care. This is stupid, I know that. I mean think about it… it’s called the Shitty Blogs Club. OF COURSE IT IS STUPID!

It’s simple. Sign up or not. Put a button on your blog or not. Listen to Shitty Blog Radio… or not. Talk shit in the forums… or… you guessed… or not.

I’m disappointed. I mentioned Survivor and Monty didn’t even flinch. Maybe she’s to good for us now. Or perhaps, I’ve teased the survivor thing one to many times.

Keep those new members coming. And Be Proud. Be Shitty!

(A rabid monkey, hopped on caffeine will be standing by to take your call.)

Do you know what I hate?

Well besides clowns, women drivers, rednecks, Starbucks, Work, winter, political correctness, mommy bloggers, sitcoms, country music, New Year’s Resolutions, Birthday Parties, Nascar…

Okay, you get the point.

I hate it when I hear the ‘Media’ talk about blogging. They always reduce it to some form of amateur journalism. Sure there are some bloggers who have used the medium in just that way, and hats off to them. But I don’t think that does blogging justice. I think plenty of people blog just cause they feel like they have something to say.

They may not how to say it, or even what exactly it is. Yet they try to say it.

To me this is, at the same time, what is great and awful about blogging. Literally, millions of people who may or may not have any ability to write; who may or may not have any idea what they want to say; who may or may not have even thought out what it is they are trying to do.

Chances are that they ran across a blog or had a friend that blogs or read about it somewhere and thought to themselves, I can do this… I should do this!

It’s not hard to set one up, you can do it for free, there is nothing stopping you. And so they set them up. And then they blog, whatever that means.

The resultant blogs are as varied as the people who ‘write’ them. These blogs, more often than not, don’t provide some useful or necessary information. They aren’t well written and edited masterpieces. They just are. Occasionally, something wonderful comes out, but mostly it just is.

That’s where the Shitty Blogs Club comes in. We not only understand this, we embrace it. We think blogging is just like life: occasionally interesting, but mostly shitty. On any given day most blogs are shitty. They have more meme than content. They are just plain neglected. They are whiny. They have more style than content. They have more content than style. Some bloggers will get defensive. “My Blog is a big Deal! It is an award winning blog! It is going to a)bring in ad revenue b) land me a book deal c) bring me fame and fortune or d) some other unlikely goal.”

But many of us get it. We know that this blogging is just something we do for good, bad or (most likely) ugly.

This club is for those who get it.

If you join this club, I personally promise that it will never help you make a dime, it will not increase your traffic or SEO, it will never get you noticed by editors, publishers or the Media.

There is only one reason to join this club. It’s to make a stand and say to the so-called blogosphere: I have a blog and it is mostly shitty, and I am proud of it.

This club has been, erm, dormant for a while. It’s time to kick some life back into it. Existing members: recruit new members! You surely know some bloggers who ‘get it,’ send them here! Potential new members: Read the FAQ and then read this. If you still want to join, go here.

Once you are a member, you can enjoy then benefits of Membership: Not listening to Shitty Blog Radio; not posting in the forum; not buying Shitty Blog stuff; and not participating in games and contests.

Be Proud. Be Shitty!

Maybe you were once a member. Maybe you weren’t.

None of that matters anymore. The only things that matter are this: Do you have a blog and is it shitty? If you can answer yes to both of those questions, you could be one of us. Click here to find out how.

Do I have to have a blog to join? Yes. Yes you do. What part of Shitty BLOGS club did you misunderstand?
How about myspace? Does that count? No. If you wanna blog, then blog. Wordpress.com and Blogger.com have free blogging. Check it out.
I don’t have a blog what should I do? I don’t really care what you do, but if you’d like to participate without a blog, feel free to register in the forums.

I’ve upgraded everything. To give it that new and shiny look. Hopefully that will distract people from the fact that this club sucks. I mean royally sucks.

Here is some of the good stuff that you can look forward to:

• More content from Specail Shitty Contributors. Really, any day now. (Hint. Hint. Nudge. Nudge.) If you’d like to be a contributor, let me know.
• Shitty Blog Survivor Year 3 — Coming in the fall!
• Shitty Blog Radio. Live Every Thursday!
• Contests and other shit like that.
• And maybe even a super shitty event… but I’m still working out the details on that one.

So… GO SIGN UP NOW!

Be Proud. Be Shitty!
