On Making Your Life Sound More Interesting 21-March 2009 11:23 PM

I have a problem. I have a blog which I use for blogging about life’s occurrences. The problem is that I find I rarely believe my life’s occurences to be blogworthy.
But I have a solution.
For simple nouns, add dramatic qualifiers, comparable to those used in blockbuster movies. Also, use pictures liberally.
For example:
The Homemade Pizza… OF DEATH
The Homemade Pizza ... OF DEATH!!!!
See how that works? Makes something blah seem exciting, right? I’ll bet you were scared a little. Maybe a lot if you are scared of peperoni.
Now, try this on for size:
Prepare to feel the terror of…
The Treehouse …
FROM ANOTHER WORLD!!!!
See?
It’s a brilliant solution ot a perennial problem – congratulations, sir!
ps that tree house looks really quite serious… is it for you or the kids? Really?
I’d be tempted to swap those qualifiers over:
PIZZA FROM ANOTHER WORLD!
and
TREE HOUSE OF DEATH!
Could be Tree House of Death if our gallant and gentle friend doesn’t stop horsing around on that narrow plank!
Hmmm.
Just noticed that the picture shows me walking on wet and slippery wood, high up in the air. One foot is in the air, and I am obviously focused on the person taking the photo more than my footing.
WTF?
Tomfoolery! Watch yourself, young man!
