Blogger's Block
I’ve been concerned about a recent decline in my website’s visitor activity. Usually I’ll get about 200 unique visitors per day, but for the past few days I’ve been lucky to break just 100. It’s sad. I’m not sure what happened. Now I know how the writers and producers of Desperate Housewives feel when they wonder what happened to their show.
Today when I had a couple free hours I decided to sit down and write a ridiculously hilarious post that would renew public interest, but it was to no avail. I just COULD NOT, for the life of me, think of any funny or interesting anecdotes about my life to write about. And you know you have really bad writer’s block when you can’t even finish a stinkin’ grocery list.

I think you should just go out at 3 AM every night, and let the excitement find you. You will have nightly blogs about how you are being run down by bats, robbers, dragons, squirrles, and the such. Maybe smear yourself in syrup or peanut butter too, i hear bears love peanut butter. The odd thing is....i can see you doing this to generate some excitement.
at least you are still getting a good number of comments of late
Everyone gets bloggers writers block. The only solution is sacrificing a pig to Satan. Or waiting it out.
Obviously I (and Satan) prefer the former.
my question is where you got all those 20's. i'm thinkin you should talk about your current jobs, sites, etc.
YOU SUCKS!!!
we need a good continuous rotation of solid material, like "awww, that pete" and "holy shit thats hilarious" and "heh that pete is such a ham" and "hmm that's pretty interesting" and "omg i can't believe that happened" and "i can't believe pete just said that" and "pete, what a guy" and "pete, what a stud" and "pete, what a character" and "oh man i wish i was there" and "LOL did pete actually do that" and "that's great, why didn't i think of that" and "hmm i never thought of it that way"
and that's all i got to say bout that.
Don't forget to take into account those of us who read RSS :)
Hey, I love Desperate Housewives, I resent that!
Writing about how you can't find anything to write about? Tsk tsk tsk...I expected greater things from you Pete.
That's kinda sad, Pete. You leave me disappointed...
But Tasha, writing about how I'm having trouble writing was the entire genius of it all. Don't you appreciate the pure irony of it? The sheer confidence and the boldness I had to even pull this kind of weblog entry off is admirable, as well as extremely sexy.
In fact, this post was obviously a nod to Charlie Kaufman's meta-fictional work on the screenplay for the movie Adaptation, starring Nicholas Cage and the fantastic Chris Cooper, among others.
I'm REALLY a genius, Tasha. A writing prodigy. A wunderkind. You've got to believe me... you've GOT to. Because if you don't, then who will all my followers be?
Shit I got nothing to do, I'll be your follower
dude, do u know what following pete entails? genital tanning, spidey sensations, hiphop rapping, never sleeping, getting mugged/your money stolen, drunken philosophies, animal/insect cruelty....
Poor Pete. A mere 100 unique visitors a day? Thats shockingly low.
