you better never let it go… Sing it with me now!
So to avoid any real work today, I was sorting laundry and naturally singing eminem songs, ’cause, like DUH! He get’s you pumped!
I started singing the chorus to Lose Yourself with bloggy references and then this came out of me.
Some of it probably doesn’t make sense or fit perfect, but hey! I’m no Al Yankovich! (spell check totally knows how to spell his last name too. wordpress 1. emily 0.)
Okay, let’s cue the music up… And sing along peoples!
Blog Yourself – sung to Eminem’s Lose Yourself, written by ME! The awesome Emily Vanek of ColoradoMoms.com.
Look,
If you had, one blog, one twitter account, to tell the world everything you ever wanted, get some comments, would you captcha it? Or just let them slip?
Yo,
Her palms are sweaty, hands cramping, arms are heavy,
there’s coffee on her sweater already, Starbucks a venti
She’s nervous, but on the surface she looks calm and ready
to just drop reviews, but she just keeps on forgetting
what she wrote down, her email just grows so loud,
she opens new post but the words don’t go down
She’s tweetin, how? Everyone’s on Facebook now, groups run down,
Time’s up, Pinterest Now!
Snap back to reality, Oh their goes this browser, oh there goes that browser
She choked, she’s so mad, she won’t give up instagraming, No, she won’t get reddit,
She knows this whole back up process but it don’t matter,
She’s dope, she know that,
what she wrote, but it’s her stats,
and she knows when she goes back to her wordpress admin, that it’s back to the plugins again yo, this whole blog shit,
she better go do this review and hope it don’t crash again.
You better Blog Yourself in the wordpress, in the moment, like you own it
you better never let it go,
you only get one post, do not hate on brands, oh no!
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
Her words escaping, through this vlog that she’s taping
This camera is mine and it’s shaking,
Conferences, as we move toward a, new york BlogHer
A normal wife is borin, but superstardom’s just for the Bloggess
It only grows harder, stats grow less
She mulls its all over, her blog is all on it
Post to Post shows, she’s knows as the webfather
Lonely roads, God only knows
She’s “just stayin at home”, she’s no father
Hubs comes home and has to make his own dinner
Don’t hold your breath cuz she’s pickin the next winner
Her readers don’t want them no mo, she’s used rafflecopter
They moved on to the next schmoe who blogs
stats nose dove and ads nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds
she sold her iPhone and the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da

No more games, I’ma change what you call rates
Tear this motha****** roof off like 2 moms caged
I was playin with kiddins , the mood all changed
I been chewed on and spit up and poo’d on face
But I kept writin and the changin the next diaper
Best believe somebody’s payin for a nanny hire
All the rage inside amplified by the fact
That I can’t get hired by 9 to 5
Cause I can’t find the right type of daycare for my kiddies
Cuz man, these goddam teenagers don’t work hard
And it’s no reality tv, there’s no woman of Pioneer, this is my life
And these events are so hard and it’s getting even harder
Tryin to sign up and get a fee, plus
Teeter totter, caught up between bein a mother and a famous blogga
Bloggy mama drama’s goin on over about
G Plus for me to wanna
Stay on blogspot, another day of coding
Has gotten me to the point, I’m like a snail
I’ve got to formulate a plot fore I end up in twitter jail or not
WordPress is my only motha****** option, typepads not
Blog, I love you, but this theme has got to go
I cannot grow old with Blogspot
So here I go is my shot.
FTP fail me not cuz maybe the only opportunity that I got

(special apology to Eminem for butchering his song.) Now to give you something actually useful! If you are going to BlogHer 12… keep reading. You’re Welcome.
So BlogHer can be overwhelming and their app is great and all, but if it’s not written on paper or typed and printed, I forget about it. Molly at Go Mom! made this super awesome type-in-able (yes, it’s a word) pdf to keep track of your sessions, brand meetings, offsite events, parties and flight info! Check out her post on How to Organize Your BlogHer Schedule and get the link to the FREE pdf! (Free is good!) and don’t forget to check out her other awesome products. I bought the DIY planner last month and LIVE by it!
Okay, go forth and try to get that earworm outta your head while you pack for New York. 😉
