This idea came to me the other night as I was serving Cheerios to my kids for dinner. You see being a blogger and an entrepreneur setting out to change the world you sometimes miss those simple pleasures in your life. Like food. Thereupon it hit me. Why not blog for food.
Don’t dismiss my idea out of hand. First hear me out.
Let’s say you’ve wracked your brain and can’t think of that just-so gift for your daughter’s (posit wife, husband or significant other as the case may be) impending birthday. Why not give her a personalized Blog? Just send me her vital stats: is she fat or thin, neurotic or normal, blonde or brunette, cat or dog person, etc.? And I will then write the best damn Blog about (or for) her. Think of what this will do for her self-esteem. I bet she’ll be the talk of the town and even more popular amongst her friends.
Or, let’s say you’re fed up with your ex and you want a scathing expose of all his or her faults. Just send me the laundry list and I’ll concoct a lethal mix of half truths and innuendo that would make our erstwhile, randy former President Clinton or even Lindsay Lohan blush.
And if you just happen to be a corporate bigwig reading this, well, I can help you too! I personally believe one can never have too many ring-tones, washing machines or whatever the heck you’re peddling. You just tell me what product you’re foisting onto the unsuspecting public and I will plug it shamelessly.
The quo to my quid is quite simple. I will send you the logon info for my Safeway.com* account. Then, much like a bridal registry you go in and select the quantities of the food I have pre-selected as my favorites and have them delivered to my home. Kind of like dropping a few coins into an indigent pan handler’s cup. Except with the added benefit that you never have to look into my eyes. Easy peasy.
What do you think?

Ahhh, I remember this….this was one of the first of the beginnings of your entrepreneurial blogs that I read! I remember thinking, who is this crazy JD guy who’s going to be blogging for food. You should make a series out of those blogs…

Hi JD,
Hmmmm Blog for food. Well when you get lotsa money from your blog you can buy food:D
Anyway, I am here to inform you that I’ve tagged you and I think you will like this tag because you can learn more about your personality type and maybe find out which business or career path will suit you best. It’s the Myers-Brigg test see my blog for details. Hope you take the test.
Have a great week ahead.

Not a bad idea. It’s just too bad we don’t have places that will deliver, etc. here.
