Hola Internet Peeps! Jay here to talk about social media again! I know you’re getting tired of Jay talking about social media BUT IT’S ALL HE’S GOT! So please be patient with Jay. Also, Jay has a few more things that he hasn’t addressed. But, Jay is a nice guy, so Jay will compromise with you. Jay will stop blogging in third person. How’s that for fair? Jay agrees!
Whew! I’m glad that third person shit is over with. It was getting annoying. Anyhoodle, I’ve been thinking about social media and my post from last week plus some things that happened over the weekend and I’ve come to a conclusion. I’m simply too nice. I let too many things go. It’s time Jay took a stand. Oops, slipped back into third person there. Sorry, old habits die hard.
The first thing I want to talk about is something I tweeted about last week and the uber lovely Dianne with two n’s posted about yesterday. Blogger has changed up its word verification. And? IT’S BULLSHIT! So, Jay I’ve come up with a new commenting policy.
Effective immediately, on blogs that I have followed for a long time, I will attempt to comment ONCE. If the word verification doesn’t let me through, then I’ll move on. On all knew blogs, I will not even take the time to attempt to break through the idiotic word verification. I don’t want to hear your complaints about spam. Too fucking bad. If you make it hard for people to comment on your blog, then you have no room to complain about people not commenting.
Same rule goes for blogs with comment moderation. I don’t know why, but I really, REALLY hate comment moderation. Well, I do know why. It takes away from the community feel of blogging and restricts the back and forth that commenting can sometimes create. Anyway, for blogs I’ve read for a while now, I’ll try ONCE and that’s it.
Also, I will no longer ReTweet, Digg, Stumble, Reddit or otherwise promote other people’s shit who never reciprocate at all. That’s total bullshit right there. You arrogant, entitled pieces of shit! I help you promote your shitty writing or podcasts, but you think you are owed that and don’t turn around help me with my shitty writing and podcast? Well fuck you!
You know, I kind of like this “New Jay.” Jay doesn’t put up with anyone’s shit. Jay takes a hard line with social media people. That’s right, Jay is writing in third person again! You know why? Because Jay doesn’t give a fuck, that’s why!
Well, okay I kind of give a fuck. I mean, I’m still a nice guy. I wish I wasn’t sometimes. And maybe I shouldn’t be. But, I do hold back a lot. I let a lot of things go and I think it’s time to stop doing that. In fact, on Twitter this morning I took a run at Miranda Lambert, and I just a little exchange with Gregg Doyel of CBS Sports. Of course, I lost, but that’s okay. I took a run at him. I’ll win next time. It’s about not letting things go.
It’s all about being a whole new Jay. If that’s okay with you guys? Is it?

In other, yet related news, Matt-Man and Jayman presented “A Social Media Extravaganza in Third Person” on I’m With Stupid. And? It was fantabulous! An absolute classic. Listen in to find out the OUTRAGEOUS request that Jay fielded on Saturday from another BTR host. And, Jay’s reasoning behind agreeing to it. Although, the “new” Jay would never have done so.
We talked Social Media, Whitney Houston’s funeral and then IWS favorite Mike (who uses that annoying damn word verification) called in. And of course there was a “Pee Break with Schmoop” segment that was just awesome.
So, check it out! We very much appreciate your listening and in now feel like we’re entitled to it. We just want to make everyone happy and bring a smile to their face.

Mike has been convinced by Dianne (2 n's) to try no word verification. HIS Monday post is about that same topic. So maybe Jay-Man (1 n) will still come by. Maybe even Matt-Man... BWAHAHAHAHA Mike cracks himself up. Or maybe WV was keeping MM away?
And Matt-Man caught Mike off gaurd (that's a football term) when he mentioned his touchdown. As an old guy Mike has 4 or 5 stories he tells over and over and that's not one of them. So when MM mentioned it he had to go into retrieval mode. And that takes a awhile. ......... .......... .............. ......... Even longer than that. ...... ........ ........ What was.......
Mike: Now that I think about it, I do believe it was Mrs. Mike who told us the story. And good call on the WV!

All I want to know is, how will this new attitude affect me? Cheers Jayman!!
Matt-Man
I love whatever Jay-Man wishes to be, and fully support him
I enjoy being called uber lovely, it gives me the will to live another day
As for word verification - fight the power!

Yup. I agree with comment moderation and that CAPTCHA bullshit. They must have a reason for moderating their comments but it's just really annoying. And CAPTCHA? Can't take that. *Double checks if my blog has CAPTCHA enabled*
But yeah, I don't wear my glasses all the time and I always get a typo so word verifications make my life so difficult that it makes me want to get drunk.
And? *Tries to remember if I have promoted any of your posts or podcasts*
I have. Right...?
But I like this new Jay, too. It's like normal Jay but with PMS. :p
Matt-Man: It will probably be a very negative change for you. ha!
Jay
Dianne: You rock babe! \m/
Jay
Mike: You're always so helpful!
Jay
Gnetch: You're totally exempt from the new asshole Jay. So nothing to worry about. You're NOT exempt from Creepy Jay though. ;-p ;-p

I would have liked to see this post via video.
In support of your new Alpha-Awesomeness, I've decided to be bitchier. We can be assholes together! I'm going to go practice in front of the mirror right now!...
Jo: I keeping thinking that I need to do vlogs again. Then I forget and just type up a post. But, I'm determined to do a few more vlogs.
Also, you could do a video of your "asshole practice" and we would be more than happy to post it here. ;-)
Jay
