Last night at tutor training, we learned an acronym to describe the process for writing essays. Writing is POWER: Plan, Organize, Write first draft, Edit, Rewrite.
This acronym is pretty good, but it doesn’t apply to the new world order of weblogs. Planning and organizing? That’s for SUCKAHS!
- Select sophomoric topic
- Use good title*
- Cut and paste
- Keep it short
- Always be a smart ass
- Hunt for pictures and clipart
- Slap it up on the interweb without another thought.
That, my friends, is how it’s done.
*Do not underestimate your ability to fuck up Google by choosing a good title.

I think I love SUCKAHS as an acronym. Wait, I know I do.
My blog DOES make my butt look big. And my writing sucks. But gosh…isn’t it a great place to dump things? It’s a sock drawer for your head.
Hmmmm…sock drawer for your head. Is that domain registered yet?
Too good. Captures it perfectly. Though I’m not sure about the “sock drawer for the head” concept. I think my head is kind of a sock drawer for the world…
Or maybe that weird drawer in the kitchen where you keep all those utensils that chain together when you try to pull out only one, like a big, nasty run-on sentence….
It’s a fun game to decide what kind of drawer is the best metaphor for your head. I waited all day for some smart ass to make a comment about his head being like an underwear drawer, but alas…
My head is like the junk drawer. I periodically go in there to look for pencils or batteries or tape only to find that the pencils need sharpened (making them useless since I have no pencil sharpener), the batteries are dead, and there’s not even enough tape left to wrap a single gift. And then I get disgusted and throw the useless items back into the drawer.
