Top 4 things I learned about Friendship Blog

 BOBW Post 6

Now I mentioned last time that I would look into the most popular friendship blog, and now I'm going to tell you what I found out.


Wait, it's gone?
1. The first thing to know about this blog is that it was shutdown on June 1st of this month. I just missed out on being able to take part during the blogging.


Where is all the Friendship blogs?
I noticed that friendship blogs not existing is a restated point from the blog post yesterday. This blog was at the top ranking in its subject of friendship. It also was one of the first blogs in that subject.



It is still Alive?
A pretty cool thing I noticed was a link to a Facebook group that continues the discussions about friendship from the blog. It is too bad you have to request to get in the group before you see the actual posts. They should consider making it an open to join group. It is nice that the blog didn't just disappear forever. And that people could find some where to reconnect.

They split them up?
When I tried to join the group, I was pretty bummed out to learn I requested the girls only Facebook club. That made me feel silly, but at least there is a boy's Facebook club as well. I wonder if Boy's and Girl's friendships are different enough to warrant separating their discussion forums.

And those are the four things I learned about the Friendship blog and its disappearance. You can find the blog post here.

BOBW 11 In the spirit of practicing what I preach, I decided to take a trip out this weekend. My memory is still a little fuzzy due to plenty of alcohol, but I will do my best to recollect the night. It started out just like any other night, the clock hit the 10 PM and that means it was time to suit up. I wanted to check out a particular spot called the 8 bit Beercade. This place is fun twist between a bar with plenty of interesting beer options and a video game arcade as the name suggests. The concept is very similar to what I want to do, so I thought it would be best to see how it works up close and not sober. I walked in and was greeted by the typical bouncer and the bar is the first thing upon walking through the doors. This is perfect, because the establishment has its priorities set. Sell drinks! I bought a drink and walked around taking in the atmosphere. The set up was great. It felt good to walk around and watch all the games being played. One thing I really liked abo...

A Bar's Universal Greeting

BOBW 12 When you see a pretty young lady across the room, the thing men are taught to do is offer her drink. You stumble up to her, mumble a greeting and then ask, “Can I buy you a drink?” She will typically respond with a yes and once she gets that drink BOOOOOOOOM she is gone like Sonic the hedgehog after spotting a chili dog cart. OK it does not always have to go like that but that's pretty typical from a male point of view. So why not spend that money on someone who will appreciate it? Buy that drink for a fellow man! He will be much more likely to assume you have no agenda and accept the gesture of friendship you are putting forth. I had this realization when I saw guy dancing at a bar and he spilled his drink and looked completely defeated. He gave a bit of a smile and said, “Oh well!” Then he headed to the bar for another drink. I thought to myself, “Would it not be nice if I replaced his drink, and struck up a conversation?” That would be out of the ordinary and it wo...
