This year I intend to post more…
My posts will, hopefully, be quality…
I intend to return to my tumblr roots and give my followers a reason not to unfollow me…
Perhaps I will bring back the audio mini-spams…
Perhaps I will bring back call-in posts…
Perhaps I will stop using ellipses…
…….NEVER!
Happy New Years, Tumblr!
anyone else notice that line of cocaine on top of the radar image —————————————————————————————>
We’re testing something! If you leave your Tumblr Dashboard open, it will now notify you when something new has been posted by someone you’re following. Please let us know what you think!
Please let me post links into ask boxes of people who I am following and who are following me. I promise to only post links while leaving ask thingies in a non-anonymous way.
It just makes life easier…
ALSO!
Allow me to parse my message with the enter key again. I hate gigantic blocks of text!
Thanks.

- Post something absolutely brilliant
- Refresh for 5 minutes
- Keep hoping to see “_____________ liked your post: Title Of Post Which I Thought Would Get A Gazillion Notes On”
- Not see anything of the sort
- Repeat process feeling slightly more dejected with each refresh
- Finally give up refreshing vowing never to share any more brilliant posts with those ungrateful fucks who supposedly follow you…….
- Repeat process ad nauseum
I tried to reblog it but couldn’t. So I copypasted it.
I wrote this on December 21st. My page is showing that it has 0 notes… That’s odd as it was one of the more popular posts I have written.
…again
Finding obscure comic book characters to post on my other blog.
My apologies to those of you who are following it for the slight spam after like 3 months without a single post. The truth is, though, once I get on a roll finding characters like Manslaughter and Dr. Double X it becomes hard to stop!
Having not had reliable internet access for a while now I have obviously not been posting much on this here tumblr…
Having not been posting much I have noticed that when I login now my “followers” count keeps dropping dramatically…
This begs the question: how long would it take of me not posting any content before I had lost the majority of my “followers”?
What is the half-life on follower counts?
On a related note: my tumblarity is in the single digits right now which makes me frown…
On an ironic note: I tried to post that previous post like 9 times earlier and kept getting Tumblr error messages.
It felt like Tumblr didn’t want me around anymore…
Then I realized that that is just how Tumblr rolls and error messages are common and I shouldn’t take things personally.
Sometimes I can convince my non-iPhone, non-droid, non-magic phone to tether thus providing me really slow and kind of useless internet access…
…but at least I can check in on y’all and post meaningless text posts!
The more I think about it, the more I realize how much I hate the term ‘followers’ in regards to Tumblr.
I sincerely hope and pray that none of you would actually follow me because that would be creepy and my girlfriend probably wouldn’t like that all too much…
From now on I am going to refer to all eleventy-seven of you who ‘follow’ me as my ‘dashboard interactors’…
…by the way: y’all are the best dashboard interactors a man could ask for!
My previous rant on rebloggers…You are forgiven if you reblog something but add a comment or somehow make it ‘your own’.
For example: You reblog a screencap from a movie and post something witty or interesting or boring or something underneath it. I’m fine with that!
It’s just when people continuously reblog pictures/videos/songs without adding anything resembling their own voice that grates on me!!!
That is all
Please limit your reblogging to less than half of your total post count. I’m trying to convince myself that creativity and originality are not dying arts and instead I keep stumbling across proof of the opposite.
This saddens me.
I don’t care if the quality of your original postings equates to shit. At least you are putting something of yourself into your blog!
Thanks for listening.

Why is it that I always seem to gain followers during those (insanely long) times when I am not really posting anything yet lose followers once I begin posting again?
Not that I really care about follower counts… most of you never read what I post anyway… It just strikes me as odd.
Yours,
Peter
P.S. Every time I lose a follower my Tumblarity goes down. This makes me sad…
