Hunter

It’s amazing what you can find or stumble upon or uncover. And the best part is that you never know you’re looking for it till it’s staring at you in front of your face.

I’m having tons of fun blog hunting now. Too much free time too little things to do. Type in a name you know and slowly screen all of the entries. I must say I am getting better at blog hunting, now a days I just know when I’m not going to get anything. It’s amazing how much difference a space makes. Let’s say this person has a Chinese name. u type jian zhong and u probably get him somewhere at page 10 of what ever you’re looking for. Type in jianzhong and wala! Number one hit! Something like www.jianzhongandthechocolatefactory.blogspot.com.

Of course I will not go all the way to page 10. in fact, I usually stop at 1. if you don’t hit it at the 1st page, you’re too far off. Look for something else. And I must say, I’ve found almost all of the people I’m looking for. almost EVERYONE is on blogspot. i wonder if there's a blog called www.blogspot.blogspot.com.

Links are another plus point. I thank my lucky stars that no one has linked me (due mainly to me strong recommendations that I do NOT wanted to be link.) yet. The worst part is when someone who you do not know links you. It’s even worst if that someone and you have tons of mutual friends. for example, you go to www.lulu.blogspot.com and you see www.wildflowers.blogspot.com wala! 1st link. and from there you can see who wildflowers knows and depending on who ur looking for and whether wildflower knows that person, you a) keep going till you find one b) give fucking up. of course you'll need plenty of iq to decipher some of the weirdest nicks that people give to their friends, lest you waste a ton of time entering each and every link hoping to find out who that person is. more importantly, you need to have tons of networking, networking here means that you need to know who knows who. this is to ensure that while on your trip to jurong, you do not take the ecp and head to siglap.

Which is basically what I’ve done. You find one blog, you use ur brains and select the link you think might be linked to your target’s blog and then you either find it or not. If you do, good. If not continue linking. But 1st of all, do NOT be a mother fucking stupid fuck face, make sure the person that you are looking for DOES indeed have a blog.

Word of mouth is another way but I do not keep in touch with that particular person I’m looking for anymore and the mutual friends between us are well few and far between.

In fact, I do not even know if he has a blog.

Are there any other ways to find a blog? Oh, during the course of blog hunting, I’ve hunted down 1,2,3 ex-girlfriend’s blogs… hahaha. Amazing. And 6 blogs which belonged to people whom I’ve long assumed to have vanished off the face of this earth. And countless other people’s blog…

Truly spectacular indeed.

p.s I’m doing this completely out of fun and laughter peace and joy. And a tad of “kay pohness”. Well… except for the elusive blog, the holy grail that I am looking for, if it does ever exist. Well you can say that I’m a www.knightoftheholygrail.blogspot.com hahaha.
