where have all the cowboys gone?
We'll I've tried being sociable around baltiblogs but it seems to take more then a sledge hammer around here to get anyone to talk to you.
What ever happened to the good old days when you'd be able to talk to anyone because everyone was desperate for readers and friends. Now some kind of internet hirearchy has established itself in my absence, and you have to be of a certain calibure and length of exsistence before anyone will talk to you.
Maybe I just need to hang out longer.

The local blog cirlces are ridiculously cliquey. There's no reason for it, but that's how it is. However, you're on Blogtimore now so you'll get some notice and maybe you'll find a clique to ignore everyone from too.

Ah, the Baltimore-Blog-Aristocracy. It seems that most start as as bottom feeders, pimping shamelessly for readers and adapting their interests to match those of the new blogger friends they want to woo. Step two would be the inside jokes and incessant linking. Step three is social obliteration of those lowly ones not in the appropriate blog circles, and without content that almost mimics their own. Avoid the happy hours.
I embelish. Baltimore is the new D.C., everyone has an agenda. Ignore them and keep your content original.

God, Rachael, that's depressing. Catfish are bottom feeders and I think they taste just fine.
Thanks. Ugh.
