Blogging on a Tuesday morning. Lately this is a rare thing for me. Between two jobs, attempts at an actual social life, and a lot more work than I’m used to, I haven’t had a lot of time to spend with nothing to chat during the day. It’s funny, I used to spend every morning in chat, but now, I’m either not home or something comes up with work so I’m not in chat as much as I’d like to, and even then I’m on a play name a lot. I still have honored the promise I made and I won’t be back for the 2-5 PM ET chat. I’m true to my word. I don’t like how TechTV treated their chat folks and I can’t support them during those hours. Call me crazy, but if I don’t like something and if I make a statement, I back that statement up through my actions.
I did notice some changes on call for help yesterday. I’d be delusional to think that they were based on things that were said here but hey, if the criticisms I’ve made here actually change the show for the better then I’m glad. I’m not going to think they did, but hey, if they help to make it a better show then I’ll continue to provide the feedback here. I try to give them a fair shake and frankly, as a TechTV Fan, I don’t like pointing out when things are wrong with the shows. However, while I’d love to gloss over things and say that everything’s perfect with every show, years of working in pro wrestling areas has changed my views on how to observe things. I don’t mark out for things as much as I used to, everything isn’t perfect with TechTV (or anything for that matter), and frankly, feedback seems to be one of the things TechTV needs the most. So if you have feedback for them, use Feedback@techtv.com and tell them what you think.
I also don’t mean to offend anyone by my statements in my blog. This is my blog. It’s a personal diary of my life. These are my thoughts and my views and shouldn’t be taken as anything more than that. I post what I see here from my observations on the world and frankly, it’s a dinky blog on a dinky web site. It’s not that important. If anyone takes my statements here and makes a big deal out of them, well, it’s their decision to do that and I thank them for reading, but, god, there’s more important things to do in the world than obsess over anything I say here.
I will also state that fandom is not a competition. Fandom is something that unites us all together in our appreciation for TechTV. If there are those who decide that it is anything more than that or decide that fandom is something that they must try to control, again, that’s their decision. I don’t have time to beat my chest or play the games. There’s life outside of this little hobby of mine and it’s a great thing to explore …
On that note, I’m out of here.
Be bad!
