Draw the Curtains...The Unveiling of The MannyFesto

It seems to me that many of the blogs nowadays have taken a direction for the absolute worst. We've seen it where bloggers have chosen to neglect their pages completely or where they have opted to use their blog as a medium to promote something other than good, clean writing, i.e. countless advertisements, fraudulent personal businesses, or someone else's videos or multimedia. Blogs have seemed to stray away from the creative and morphed into the lazy. Blog diaries are quite simply stale and boring, as they have always been, and Youtube video blogs are downright unintelligent. These reasons, up to now, have dissuaded me from starting my own blog and turned me off from blogs in general, but clearly, my sentiment has changed in that regard. Maybe I'm bored with many of the other blogs I've sampled and hope to present something that I (and hopefully many others) would read and perhaps get a kick out of. Maybe I'm just bored with my own everyday life, as I'm sure is the case with many or most of those in the blogosphere. Whatever the case, I have deemed it the correct time to unveil The MannyFesto, a comprehensive online blog that will emulate something of a mini-magazine.

The MannyFesto will contain no less than four major sections that will be posted during the course of the five day week. The first of these is aptly named The Festo, which will be posted two of the five days. This will be the real meat of the weekly blog, where I will rant, so help me god, on one of the many topics floating around in my mind. Expect exciting topics How Dr. Phil, John Edward, and the Fat Guy from Subway have Ruined the World and Daddy, Would you like some Sausage? The first of the subsections has been dubbed The Skinny Post, where I will post a small paragraph about a simple subject that seems a bit askew. I suppose this section could be comparable to a Peter Griffin, "Grind my Gears" piece. I'll attempt to keep these as terse and to-the-point as possible. Be prepared for a quick read here. Dispatched, the second of the subsections, is where I will peruse an article, give it a quick overview, and provide a link for those who may be interested. In the final weekly piece, The Popcorn Editorial (The POP-ED), I will post a discussion about a movie, newer or older, and a personal rating for that movie. From there, I may have one of my very, very super-interesting friends make a guest appearance and rant about one of their many, many problems in a piece that we'll call The Celebrity Shot, and maybe, juuuuuuuust maybe I'll have the urge to post some of my fiction. I wouldn't expect any posts on the weekends, but I also wouldn't put it past me.

And so will be The MannyFesto, a blog that will hopefully entertain and elicit many a chuckle. Now, for a taste of things to come, I will post a few of my recent pieces. Olympic Couch Potato, Kitty Vacation, and Don't Spare the White Russians, Spoil thy Child were written last week. I feel like they will get the ball rolling nicely and give the reader a good idea of what to expect. Enjoy.
