I Comment Therefore I Am
November 16, 2009
Welcome, to the first official installment of I Comment Therefore I Am, where I create a post out of comments I've left on other blogs and comments you've left on mine.
Let's start off with examples of my commentary genius!
In response to It's Serious This Time writing, "Thanks pilgrims for feeding the Indians before you killed them all and took over their land so we can celebrate with a feast!!" (Don't get mad people she was being hilarious.)
This post kicked ass. I particularly like the way you refer to Thanksgiving because even though I love what the holiday has come to mean in my life, let's not forget about history.
On Columbus Day, I always want to wear a T-shirt that says "Celebrate the Slaughter", but I know that won't go over well. I wouldn't mind celebrating Italian-American Day, but Columbus wasn't so good for my peoples. I'm just sayin...
In response to The Ramblings of a Disgruntled Secretary
Okay, this one just made the hairs on the back of my neck stick up!
I was a a wedding reception with an ex once and apparently I was the token Mexican there. One woman was talking to me like I was the most interesting thing she had ever seen. She asked me, "Do you speak Mexican?"
I wanted to lecture the shit out of her, but it was a party so I said, "I speak Spanish and English. Do you speak American?" She laughed and said, "Oh, I never thought of it that way." Yeah whatever! Drives me friggin' batty. That and calling all Latinos Mexican.
Great now I'm going to have to do a post about this. (But now I don't have to because I'm posting the comment!)
In response to a guest post by Mr Condescending on Hot Piece of Sass where he refers to a sexual move called the Angry Pirate:
Oh, I've been the accidental recipient of the Angry Pirate and I'm still mad!
In response to A Nut in a Nutshell writing about name tags:
I hate name tags! If people want to know my name, they can ask. The worst is when you are wearing a name tag and you forget and people keep calling you by your name. I get all freaked out and think, "How the hell do I know these people and why can't I remember their names?" Until I remember, I'm the dork wearing the name tag. Duh!
And now from the Peanut Gallery! These comments were left on my blog, maybe from you.

Ok, I'm concerned. Very concerned. I know I left a comment on your original post about comments. It was probably very clever. When I went back to look for it, it was not there. What if my brilliant comments are being lost in the wide world of web? If I comment, therefore I am - what am I if I comment and it is lost? I am very afraid.
To which I responded:
Oh, I got the comment on the original post and it was brilliant!
And Tammy, if you were a tree and you fell in the forest, I would be there to catch you.
I need your feedback. I am not 100% committed to doing this as a weekly feature. Would you prefer it as a weekly or monthly feature? Weekly it would be every Monday; monthly it would be the last Monday of every month sort of like a Commentsgiving Day. Please let me know what you think in the comments. Thank you!
If you leave a comment and I hope you do because I go weak at the knees for comments, please leave your blog url (if you have one) so that I and others can visit you. I have Mami-brain and I need your help! Don't let a Mami down.
