Hooksexup Confession: I am a whore

Posted by airheadgenius

(The lyrics in the chorus are key. Pay attention) 

I am a comment-whore.
Maybe not quite a whore since I'm not being paid by the hit.
Maybe I am more of an addict.
My name is airheadgenius and I am a comment-aholic.

I used to have a blog over on the personals site. It was at the top of the board doncha know and got hundreds of hits a day, plus every post got at least a dozen comments. Some as many as a hundred plus.

I am sad and lonely on this blog. Boo hoo.

I miss the interaction. The banter if you will. I'm big on banter.
As is customary for my people.

It might be the content, but it's the same old drivel/insight depending on your perspective, that it always was. So it must be that you guys are just a tougher crowd.
Maybe the average Hooksexup reader is just too darn hip to bother committing fingertips to keyboard.
Maybe you're too busy spiking up your hair or plucking your eyebrows into a enigmatic arch.
Or maybe you're married and too chicken in case your spouse finds out and withholds conjugals for a week or two.

Maybe you're shy???

I had fans and detractors on the old blog, but it was fun. Hilarious from time to time.
See, without comments then it's just a journal really and I can write that at home to be found by my grand kids in 40 years time when I'm old and past it. Ewww, granny, that's nasty. You did what???

Blogs need comments is all I'm saying. Even crap ones, if that happens to be your opinion on the content.

Youporn is a case in point. A while back, you could rate the videos with stars, or leave a comment. I used to visit youporn just to read what people had written. Absolutely no one believes this, but it's true. Inane stuff to be sure, but funny just the same. "That's your mother", "nah, that's your mother" for example. 

Over on Brownstoner, the posts are often deadly boring - typical NY real estate fare - but there's this guy TheWhat who stirs everyone up. I visit the site just to see who he's pissed off recently. (The comments on the clip from Aaron Neville are priceless by the way - it's been a while since I've heard someone say bumba claaart)

I just glanced at my old blog. 4725 comments on 191 posts. Uh oh, I think I am gonna cry again... Where's my comments at people??
Interact fachrissakes!!!

The Enigmatic Arch would be a great band name.

Perhaps it's because this Date Machine thing is new.  Perhaps it's that outside a handful of people, folks aren't so forthcoming about all their intimate stuff.  

Half the fun of blogs is the back and forth... the witty repartee and even the arguments.  Sometimes especially the arguments.  I get the impression though that some of the people on this side of Hooksexup take what they're doing very seriously and consider it art... and that nobody should go to a museum or a gallery and leave comments.  Unless of course they're all to the effect of wow, this is great.  I soooo agree with you.  

I feel your pain.

P.S.  That first Specials album is one of the best albums ever laid to wax.  Jerry Dammers is GOD!!!

I was really surprised when I saw the volume of comments and viewers on the Personals side of Hooksexup.  Of course there is a core blog group and all, but there is a load of contributors and viewers.  I won't attest to the quality of the interaction always, but it's there.  It would be nice to seem more here though.  I've been involved in a couple online forums (fora?) on different subjects from politics to literature to music... I learned an awful lot.

Dang. Sometimes I feel like a comment-o-holic, but now I feel less like that annoying drunk at the party who corners you and lets oyu know what they think of everything you've ever said, done, or thought in your entire life. Yays, I'm supportive not tedious. How novel . . .

P.S. I used to read the comments on FuckingMachines (the only porn site I've ever paid for. Pretty much.) Often they were hilarious . . . a lot of the expected "oh baby yr so hott," of course, but also dudes commenting on the model's footwear, debating whether her boots really go with that thong, offering hair and makeup advice, and so forth.

AHG! FINALLY found your new space...glancing around, you need to decorate, o' dear one. Yes, I agree that the banter and commenting is integral to this whole blog process - when you place thought into motion, you want to know that there are open minds receptive to following your process, then pushing it along - a merger of sorts...connecting dots between brains and souls and ideas.

Good luck here, my friend - I will pop in from time to time, and see how your journey through the dating wilds of Brooklyn is faring - hope your trip this past summer ended on a high note (you seemed discouraged at the beginning) and check yer Facebook, momma - I sent a 'friend' request. Go on, be brave - friend me! And boy, do I have a funny story to relate to you in private!!

Cheers, you cheeky monkey!

recycled - yeah, I don't mind the arguments either. The banter ones are funny and even the ones where people get their knickers in a twist are amusing in their ridiculousness. You remember that chump that threatened to have me beaten up???

What's happened to my Specials video though??? Was it removed due to content. It says "It's all a load of bollocks" but surely that isn't enough to get it pulled??

BOLLOCKS BOLLOCKS BOLLOCKS BOLLOCKS!

zeit - do we really???? I am amazed by that.

cval - you'd be hard pressed to find the christ in me in the first place, but it might be fun to try to banter it out anyway. Shame you don't have a profile.

recycled - Zeit's been here a while and apparently Date Machine is getting a lot of comments compared to other blogs on Hooksexup. I'd say that at least a dozen characters on the personals blogs get upwards of 25 comments every single post. I wonder what's different about those people?

anathema - you win the prize for being able to spell commentoholic. I am having a spelling crisis at the moment. And I love the sound of the comments on FuckMachine. That's hilarious.

Zelly - hello gorgeous! Thanks for stopping by. I will write to you directly over on the personals site and explain why I haven't accepted any friend requests recently!!!

berlin - wha cho talkin about? Seriously, first what???

zeitgeisty said:

Yeah.. i mean check out every 'Hooksexup blog' i.e. modern materialist, scanner, screen grab, remote island... etc... compared to those we average WAY more comments.. Are the personals blogs in a message board format? That type pf format seems to foster that type of rabid commentary...

That is a kick ass song!!!  It is not very often that I have to close the door to my office and turn up the volume.  So just because you made me smile and shake it all aroun (don't worry I closed the blinds) you just earned a golden star!

AHG--I don't think a person can say they've ever truly been funny until they've been threatened.  

In regards to The Specials or any of the Two-Tone bands, if anybody can find me a DVD copy of Dance Craze, with The Specials, Madness, The Beat, Bodysnatchers, Bad Manners etc, I'd be eternally grateful.  I've got a VHS copy that makes funny warbling noises it's so old.

A true YouPorn aficionado (notice the p is capitalized) would have recalled the brief time in the late 1960's when the comments section was originally removed due to people commenting FIRST!!! on the first ten comments followed by the next ten comments being people who would call the first ten people fucking morons. That would entice the first ten fucking morons to start calling the other posters fucking morons and it would degenerate from there.            

Indignance on a porn site is always priceless and I suggest the same here with some fucking moron always attempting to be FIRST!!! and another fucking moron becoming indignant, the ensuing banter is quite enjoyable especially when ended with the perennial "Do you kiss your mother (or mum in your case) with that mouth?"

It might be quantity over quality but it would definitely help the count out...at least until you got sick of it and removed the comment section.

zeit - the personals blogs are in exactly the same format as this one, except just under the umbrella of "blogs" instead of an official title like "date machine". I would post a blog and get at least a few hundred hits that first day with a ton of comments. One blog post over there, before I shut the thing down, had been read 40,000 times. Not that I am bitter...

leonardo - oooo, I am thrilled. Now I am all sparkly with my gold star. Did you check out all 3 songs though - all very good value. How freakin long are Paul Williams legs though? Like a 2 legged spider.

Recycled - then apparently I am as funny as all get out. And I've got ALL that stuff on vinyl in England. Not that this helps you much though. One of these trips back, I will digitise the whole lot.

Berlin - a-ha! Now I understand. In the 1960's you say though? - could ya stop smoking before you visit my blog please??? SO THRILLED to see you here - with all your leather and machismo. I've missed you.

I've got all the albums, most of them on LP and CD.  Problem is all these live performances are only available on this one documentary.  They're all stellar.
