How flattering.
I stumbled upon some new “local” blog a few days ago. I asked a few local bloggers if they had heard of the blog or its author. I was unaware that the blog seemed to be a parody of a local food blog, since I rarely eat anywhere that braises or reduces anything and, therefore, don’t follow most of the local food blogs. Also, I was unaware that the author had caused a stink with an insulting comment directed toward a local blogger.
So I don’t know who this person, the author of this new blog, is. But I’m apparently worthy of a post in his blog. It would be mildly amusing if not for the “Wanted dead or alive” subject header, which is a bit creepy.
What’s also odd is that I’d be the first person to mock any designation of myself as a “Durham blogger”. I live in Durham, and I put brain droppings out there on the internet on this website. Sure, I aspire to be relevant, but I’m well-aware that posts of pet pictures and confessions of shopping at Wal-Mart don’t put me on a trajectory towards relevance. So the mystery blogger’s focus on me is puzzling.


Toastie,
I am not mocking you or insulting you in any way or fashion. I truly want to acquire an interview with you to achieve legitimacy for my blog. If you want, my publicist can forward the questions to your representatives in advance so as not to catch you off guard with any crazy inquisitions. But I am serious about the interview. In the meantime, keep up the great work.
