Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.
My anniversary was on Christmas Eve. We cuddled and read Stephen Colbert's I Am America (And So Can You!).
That book is CERTIFIED GENIUS. Indeed. I'll probably quote a few things from there in future posts. So keep reading! *shamless self-advertising*
Although there was a trivial conflict on Christmas night, things were patched up quickly and I had the nicest nap ever. There was an instant, however, when I wanted to walk out and stone the owls.
JUST KIDDING.
There's something I'd like to seriously discuss right now.
It's createblog.
Now, don't get me wrong; I love createblog and all, but there are some layouts that....just shouldn't be up there.
I'm talking about the layouts that look like they were scrapped in Photoshop under 10 minutes. The ones that simply feature a boring, poorly-edited image and a 'box.' First of all, IT SHOULDN'T LOOK BORING AND IT SHOULDN'T LOOK LIKE A BOX. But hey, some people like that kind of stuff.
You may think I'm a prideful bastard (I am a prideful bastard), but sometimes I just ask WHY. Why doesn't Createblog raise its standards just a bit higher? I just feel like some people who 'design' for createblog started working with Photoshop just yesterday. God, that's harsh. But I'm telling it like it is.
Recently, NINja suggested that I make a new createblog account and submit an incredibly cluttered design, horribly cliche and just...FUGLYx10.
"See if it gets accepted."
I probably just ruined any chances of potentially earning a spot on the Design staff because of this post. Ahahaha.
EDIT: I would especially like to mention that I hate the "I miss you/I love you/I hate you/Am I Ugly?" layouts. We don't need any more cliches. Or, if you're going to make a cliche layout, at least design it well enough so that it doesn't put me into a preliminary coma. *gets stabbed by createblog designers*
