Tour De Monique?

by Monique on July 11, 2008


Monique Renae in all her goofinessSince I began blogging, I have had the great pleasure of meeting some amazing people. Some of them have become lifelong friends, other are email buddies that I drop a quick email to a few times a year.

Anywho, I had stopped blogging for a bit after my last blog became a place for people to personally attack me and my family. It takes a lot for a person to get online everyday and reveal themselves to strangers. I, unlike many others, blog out in the open. I am not hiding behind an alias… what you get is what you see, and it has always been that way for me and sometimes I have to wonder if maybe I reveal too much of myself.  But then I get to thinking and realize that in order for me to stay true to the purpose of me blogging, I can’t be coy about things.

When I decided to start this blog, I was very apprehensive. Doing the domain under my very own name was something I thought long and hard about, and (obviously) decided to take the chance. So far, it’s been nothing short of amazing. The people who read this, you all are so awesome. The support and blossoming friendships I have developed in these past 7 months have been wonderful!!! It’s made this all so much fun and for that I thank you. Thank you to all of you who read, and comment, and even those who lurk.

THANK YOU!!!!

So, with that said, in the next year, I plan to stalk as many of you as I can by going on my own Tour de Monique. I’m going to get an RV and travel around the country meeting my fellow bloggers. We’ll sit down at a Starbucks and have some coffee (even though I am not much of a coffee drinker) or take a walk through Wal-Mart. Whatever we do, I’ll make it fun. Of course, it won’t happen anytime soon since I am saving up all my pennies so that next year (around this time) I can move into my very own dream home. (Something I’ll talk about that in another post.) But now you all know, I will eventually be coming to a town near you. And don’t even think about turning me down! That means you too Miss Angelika!

Oh Look At Me!! Please…

by Monique on February 24, 2008


I blog to blog. I do it because it gives me an outlet to vent about crap that pisses me off or entertains me or whatever. I definitely don’t expect to become to next Oprah. I guess though in this day and age the internet is your biggest chance to branch out and find your 15 minutes of fame. What I don’t get though is why certain people become internet celebs.

For example, B. Scott:

What is people’s fascination with this man? Or is it woman? Whatever. He makes me crazy. What’s with the overacting, squealing, sounding like an idiot thing he’s doing? People really dig this kind of shit? And he’s doing that thing I hate that people do… trying to sing a damn song without knowing the words. Ew. Please stop. If you are a fan of this man, please tell me why… I need to understand.

And the fool above, Chris Crocker. I really don’t get it. This man is like a walking train wreck! And I notice both him and B Scott take their sexuality to the absolute extreme. Whats up with that? Is that necessary? And I know a LOT of gay guys and not one of them acts even remotely like these two.What about Tila Tequila? Who in the hell is this chick? So she got a million fake friends on MySpace and now she has her own TV show?

I really don’t get it. If I act like a total jackass on my blog, and make YouTube videos of me acting like a total loser, will I get a TV deal? Will the Soup make fun of me on Friday nights? Might I stand a chance to get on The Best Week Ever? Even if I did, I wouldn’t want it.

Besides, I have seen other people far more worth the 15 minutes. Like Takiyah. Girl sure can sing. I like her version of “Touch My Body” way more than Mariah’s. Maybe it’s just because I don’t like Mariah Hoochie Carey.

What about you? Are you blogging for fame?

Come to Mama?

Those hungry for more traffic to their site might be interested in Qassia. It’s new and seems like a pretty good place for networking. As with most things, its success depends on those of us who are willing to take a bite.
