hiddenmusePeople can be so strange ... especially in the blogosphere.
One day, you're on a friends-list -- the next, you're off, no explanation. It's happened to us all.
Although, one instance of being de-listed kind of stuck in my mind, due to its oddity. Apparently the blogger in question had developed a degree of celebrity in their local (and possibly regional) scene, and suddenly determined that celebrities were to be treated like sacred cows ... deities, as it were.
Yeah, so I've slagged on Tom Cruise and others in the limelight - it's all meant in harmless fun, really. As long as I'm not saying anything that could be deemed libelous. Besides, much of what I'd said was just a rehashing of others' words, so it's not like I was expressing the most original of thoughts.
But, enough of that. As the long-defunct Spy magazine had put it, in their own snarky/witty way ... "There Are No Sacred Cows". Besides, the "Scientology/ Trapped In The Closet" episode of South Park is airing on July 19th. Come on, get happy, dammit!
And oh yeah, if you're gonna de-list someone, at least have a good reason, people!!
