Rumfork Sages

Though the readership of this website is still fairly small at this point, I have received many comments about it. I am still hoping Rum will return to dominate with some awesome posts, but for the moment the return of Rumfork has been all Fork, and I have spoken to people about it and have received some interesting feedback.

Generally people have been describing it as funny and well written. This was confusing to me, as it suggests that I am perhaps a well-adjusted individual with a purpose and actual content. That is certainly not what I thought was going on, but apparently this site has developed an identity all its own while I have been writing; that identity is Crazy Bullshit.

Which, to be honest, is absolutely fine with me. I enjoy prattling on about sports, politics, women, whatever, and having a place to do that is certainly good. I guess what is happening though, whether the posts are meant to be serious or humorous, there is a bit of a form going on. There are a few rants, a few crazy stories, some sports, a couple of random ass posts, and some introspective stuff. While there is still no real central theme here, it seems there are several elements coming together into what other people would call an interesting blog to read.

However, my favorite feedback has to be from a female friend of mine who will remain nameless. In the hopes of obtaining an honest opinion, I linked her to the site and told her "some crazy bastard" I knew was writing it. I figured that if I called him nuts a few tiems, I could sway her into thinking she could be honest with me and thus she could read it and tell me what she really thought, and I'd have my answer about whether or not I was creating useful conent.

Her response to the page was pretty damn funny. She found everything humorous, but on more than one occasion remarked that the guy writing it absolutely had to be insane. This guy was off his rocker, absolutely ridiculous, but he was funny. I gotta say folks, this is exactly what I was going for when I came back to this thing; holy shit that guy is funny, but what the fuck is wrong with him?

In the end, I have to say that I am quite happy with myself at the moment. We tried before to come up with some form of content but could never really make it happen, and now that Rum has an actual life and is not free to dick around like I can because I'm a loser with no life, I have somehow all on my own stumbled across a mix of content that appears to be working. I'm not saying this is the most popular site on the internet, or even in the top 400 trillion, but I'm keeping a few people amused and that's good enough for me.

On a side note, I know I did not get this week's NFL picks up in time before the Chargers-Raiders game last night; my bad. I would have picked the chargers, but not as a lock, so you're not losing anything. I won't count that in this week's picks though, that would be cheating since I didn't post before the game. So we'll just pick the remaining 15 and call that Chargers win a moral victory. I need a bounce back week after last week's slaughter; but again, my lock picks were right on. I should be gambling!
