On Fame (of the blogging variety)

At one point in time, I came up with a list of things that seem to make a blog legit. I have since realized that there is no way under the sun that I will ever become a Highly Successful Blogger (HSB). Here I present you with a list of reasons why that is the case.


1. HSBs can abbreviate any word and it sounds cool.

2. HSBs each have a Story. These Stories are different, life-altering, funny, sweet, or any other adjective that grabs your attention.

3. HSBs have husbands. Intelligent, good-looking, the-kind-you-see-in-movies husbands. From here on out, they will be referred to as "blog husbands."

4. HSBs know all the other HSBs, and are therefore unafraid to comment on each other's blogs.

5. HSBs have the best cameras available to mankind and know how to use them well.




DO NOT CHANGE THE CHANNEL; WE WILL RETURN AFTER THIS MESSAGE.

[Random side note: according to a common online acronym finder, HSB also stands for the Latin phrase "Hic Situs Bonus," meaning "This place is good." Somehow, that fits well with this topic, don't you think?]

AND WE'RE BACK.




6. HSBs are the most photogenic people in the world.

7. HSBs have the best fashion taste in the world.

8. HSBs can cook anything, with a recipe or without one.

9. HSBs have Highly Successful Blogs within a year of entering the Blogosphere.

10. HSBs have perfectly imperfect lives. [This is not universally the case, I know. But we're generalizing here, people.]



So that's my reasoning. One day, perhaps I will have a life story that merits widespread attention, but for now, I will resign myself to my relative anonymity. I have, however, coined the acronym "HSB." That should count for something, right?
