minishowcase of blogs more popular than mine will ever be

Right, first up is this blog.

Reasons why my blog will likely never be as popular as it is:

• Being a lowly editorial assistant (and temp to boot) at a small educational publishing company in Longmont, Colorado, is much lower on the totem pole of peonhood than being a lowly intern at Comedy Central in New York City.
• People like pictures. The above blog includes pictures, some animated. I do not know how to make pictures, let alone animated ones. I do not even own a digital camera. I am a technofreak, and technofreaks do not have popular blogs.
  

Reason to, despite all, retain hope that one day my blog may be as popular as it is:

• Internships don't last forever, and nor do editorial assistantships, but my blog is not centered around the fact that I'm a lowly intern at a small educational publishing company, which means I can blog on even after I leave. Bwa ha ha ha ha!

Okay. Let's move on to the next blog.

Reasons why my blog will likely never be as popular as it is:

• I can't act (as I discovered in the spring of 2003 when I took a course in beginning acting, thinking, "Hey! Maybe this would help with the dialogue in my writing" only to have any happy thoughts of this possibility driven far into the ether but the blindingly obvious conclusion that I can't act). Because I can't act, I will never have a film career that could serve as the launchpad for a popular blog.
• I'm not David Duchovny.
  

Reason to, despite all, retain hope that one day my blog may be as popular as it is:

• None, unless I can bank on growing male parts and morphing into David Duchovny. Which I'd really rather not do, as this would result in cries of "Look, it's the she-male who shares the same facial features as David Duchovny! But I've heard s/he can't act!" Yes indeed, that is something I'd rather not experience, even at the cost of having an unpopular blog.
  

I may continue the showcase later. Or I may not. Bets on the outcome allowed, if I get a share of the pool.
