Why I Don't...

Note: 

This is not targeting anyone and anything in particular but is just a post explaining why I don't do these things. I participate and actually enjoy some but I'm just giving my view so please don't get you .com's in a bunch.

For a good couple weeks, this little +K was invading Twitter and the blogs. 

I don't know if it is just me, but has this died down?

Anywho, even in the height of it...this was one bandwagon I couldn't hop on. 

Why?

Because unless it's macaroni and cheese or Newports, I'm not really influential in shit. I get the whole concept of it, of being the best influence-r you can be and gaining prizes but I suck at making decisions and +K's in my little hands would go to waste, unless you want to be top dawg in Yoo-Hoo's and Jawbreakers.

These are a fan favorite and I'm not saying I don't participate in them but I just don't have the urge to host one. First, I am not that clever to come up with these funky ones and second, even if I was there is a thousand and one other ones out there to compete with. 

There is a link up for everyday of the week and unless you have some prime blog space and your follower count rivals that of an iPhone release, yours is likely the red headed step child of link ups and do you really want that? I know it's not about the numbers but I personally would want a decent amount to actually continue it, link up....party of one?!?....no thanks.

Myself along with a dear bloggy friend did one of these not too long ago and though I loved it, I was a stressball behind the scenes. With trying to do something like this where there is guidelines, budgets, strangers, etc., you are bound to run into some problems and we did. Most of them got settled but I hate having that feeling that you are leaving someone down even if it's an issue you can't get resolved. 

There is also one other problem...which I will go into more on the next one...

This goes hand in hand with swaps but I'm just going to throw this out on the table...

I SUCK AT SENDING STUFF!

There I said. 

It's a sad pitiful truth but the truth it is. 

Hell my darling and squishy heart love Honey can attest that she is still waiting on a Christmas card for moi. And my thank you cards from my wedding...been written out for months but still sit in a dark corner of my living room. I will host a giveaway from time to time, but just be forewarned that you may not get your gift in the same calendar year you won. ; ) 

I've tried....I've really tried. 

I've added friends to my circle and have tried to mess with my profile but I just don't get it. 

I'm not sure what else there is to say but I just don't understand the purpose of it. Sure it has this, that, these, and those but can it be anymore awkward to nativigate? 

I don't get it....that's all.

This is not by choice but by my crappy cell phone provider who has yet to pick up an iPhone. 

I terribly want to take vintage-y pictures with my cell phone and share them for all the Twit world to see but my broke down Samsung says otherwise. 

Though the word on the street is (or atleast at SXSW) is that Instagram is bringing this fab service to us peasant Android users too...can I get a woot! woot!

***

I'm not saying that I will NEVER do these things or that I can't turn a new leaf and starting sending shit out on time but as of right now...these are the few things I cannot excel at. These may be some of the blogging goals I should work on this year but until then, you girls keep rocking the shizz out of them.

You're doing awesome.
