Posts tagged Thanks

due to a buttload of reblogging (it’s not as bad as I thought it’d be), I’ve managed to stop my loss of followers streak and actually managed to get some fresh new followers to fill the void.

Fun.

Thanks and hello new followers.

Here’s how my tumblr life looks so far-

April-

• 0 posts

• 0 hrs a day

Starcraft 2 addict, just began my second semester at BYU-Idaho.

May-

• 176 posts

• 10hrs a day

Just started my tumblr account, trying to find a voice and consistency in my posts. I begin to gather a decent amount of followers. I make it to 600.

June-

• 311 posts

• 18hrs a day

Find great success.  Become dangerously addicted to tumblr, and choose it over sleep.  I hit 1500 followers.

July-

• 588 posts

• 20hrs a day

School ends on July 20th and I have no more school.  Time is invested in tumblr and 1hr of study a day. I sleep an average of 3hrs a day. I hit 2415 followers. I go home.

Now (July 31st)-

• 1-3 posts a day
• 1-2hrs a day

My addiction ends as I become more socially active due to a change in environment. I invest a lot of time with my family and my gf.  I now lose followers at the same rate that I gain them. I’m not mad, I’m just glad I still have my tumblr buddies (you know who you guys are).

I’m a happy puppy.

Apparently, when I get followers now, it says “So-and-so is following this tumblelog”

Please help, I’m confused.

So there I was, little Steven, big world. I was ready for my second, and last semester of BYU-Idaho.

My first month in Idaho consisted of awkward short conversations with my roommate, and A LOT of Starcraft II. (I was in the Diamond rankings if that means anything to you).

My roommate would always go off about his little blog and I would always pretend to care. Then one day, during the first week of May, I decided f#ck it, I’ll make one for sh#ts.

So first I needed to pick a url name thing. Deadpool was my first choice. Taken. Headpool? Taken. Thedarkness? Taken. Daredevil? Taken. Uhh…Dogpool?

So I became Dogpool with only 1 follower (my roommate).

I decided early on that this would be a superhero blog. I have a passion for writing and superheroes…why not write about superheroes? I figured that if I put time and effort into my posts, and never reblogged (reblogging made me feel icky…I’m starting to a little now) then people would definitely recognize the passion and ingenuity of my sh#t and start to follow me and stuff.

It was a rocky start, but people began to read my posts. They were reading Dogpool’s sh#t, Steven was too nervous about writing about himself.

Steven writes about:

• School
• Mormons
• His Girlfriend
• Family
• Inspirational stuff
• T.V. shows
• music
• His writing..

At first, my followers didn’t respond to Steven’s writings too much. Probably because my followers were geared towards superhero stuff.

But soon enough, there arose a new breed of followers. Ones that actually preferred Steven over Dogpool. Although these followers are the minority, they are the reason I still write about myself.

Dogpool writes about:

• Superheroes
• Silly stuff

Dogpool became my alias. People think he’s funny, interesting, good looking, and loving. He has a passion for superheroes like many of his followers. He listens to what they have to say to him, and he wants to be their friend.

You see, my life is boring. I’m boring. But Dogpool, he has an army of people to talk to. They respect him. Many agree with his little opinions and ask him questions like “If so-and-so had a movie, who would play him?” Dogpool always has an answer. He answers EVERYBODY.

Dogpool makes himself manifest when I’m bored. If I’m depressed, Steven takes over. If I’m ecstatic, Steven takes over.

Side note. Uhm, thanks for all of you who seemed to give a shit about me not being so happy yesterday. That was unexpected.

Dogpool has taken over about a fourth of my life. He is part of me now O.o… So when you guys talk to Dogpool, you’re not talking to some dude putting on a front. You’re talking to the side of me that emerges every now-and-then. He’s as real as can be.

You’ll notice when you talk to Steve, he’s not too much fun.

Anyways, idk wtf my point was…

Don’t worry about it man! Worry about finals week. I’m taking a couple summer classes too. Hope your tests go well!

Thanks a lot dude. What classes?

manicreverie replied to your post: Web Design Class

Looks pretty decent, had to do web design myself for film school. Definitely fun stuff, though coding and what can be a pain in the ass.

Thanks. Decent is what I was aiming for :p

couchinhabitant replied to your post: Web Design Class

Looks great, man :D I took web design and kids got A’s by making stuff that wasn’t even as nifty as yours.

Thanks a lot:)…just wanna get this class over with haha.

I don’t know too much about designing website even after a full semester of Web Design…so I used a simple website to make mine.

My own website is all that’s needed for my final. In it I need a home page, and 2 child pages.  I have that much.

I just want you guys to tell me if it looks fine. You guys have probably read and seen most of the stuff in the site (just pulled it off my tumblr).

Thanks, here’s the link:

dogpool:

Superheroes do not require actual superhuman powers to be deemed superheroes; the term has also been applied to costumed crime fighters, and/or characters without superpowers who perform the same functions as superheroes.

I was sitting here asking myself “Why aren’t there any superheroes on this boring planet?”  Now, it may still be boring, but I should get slapped in my face for forsaking the superheroes out there that are dying for people they never met or will ever meet.  Never forget the nameless ones…R.I.P. to the brave men and women that have fallen, and God bless those heroes that are still fighting for me and other randoms.

Sincerely,

Dogpool

Anything would help. Still brainstorming.

Thanks.
