It’s Old School Friday and the theme is Tribute. I don’t have a band, or an artist, I care about enough to pay tribute to. This might be due to the terrible week I’ve had, as usually I’m more than willing to pay tribute to art and indifference equally.
Once I decide to start reading a blog I usually keep reading, even if they post rarely or never. It takes me a long time to decided to read someone. I don’t have that much time, and floating around the web, and forums sucks what little time I have. Blogging was never about branding for me. I have a job, a career, school, “contacts” crawling up my behind. Blogging is something else. The feelings, opinions, and bad poetry, burned on these pages are these only branding you will find.
My old school friday is a redundant tribute to my blogger friends.
I’m doing a rerun on this old school tribute friday. A year ago I posted They Don’t Know . Old School Friday themed Tribute is a good time as any to post the video again.
I haven’t updated it, I haven’t had the the time, though one day I will. If you are not on it it’s because I ran out of room, or had no idea who you were last year. It is symbolic after all, and you know if I read you.
Like I said when I posted it originally, it’s 4 minutes of your life that you will never get back, but what the heck.

I’m still not in it, but I know you meant well. I liked it then I like it now. Perfect for a tribute friday.
One of these days. I think I ran out of music and you volunteered to be left off.
Hey, anyone who can get on Cooper’s list is well worth the time to read so that video is a definitely great tribute.
I think the biggest tribute, though, is the fact that she’s still around to both post and then re-post a tribute to all the blogs she’s been reading for the last 5 years.
In fact, she’s one of only two or three blogs that I consistently read these days.
.-= mojo shivers´s last blog ..Miles Down The Track I Can Hear That Whistle Blowin’, Somewhere In The Night, And I Know In My Mind That Someday I’ll Be Leavin’ =-.
he, he, I’m one of the only blogs left posting this long. It is really weird considering, as you know as well, it wasn’t supposed to be a lifetime endeavor.
I was so geeked when I saw my site on this tribute the first time…and I am still geeked now.
You rock, Coop!
Happy OSF!
.-= Marvalus´s last blog ..OSF: A Tribute To ? =-.
I hope to make a prettier one someday.
I still wish I’d shaved that day.
.-= Doug´s last blog ..Predilection =-.
I didn’t want to say anything but so do I.
What Marvalus said!!
AND What a trip to see my home page from a year ago.
Happy weekend, Cooper.
.-= Tristan || the almost right word´s last blog ..The September Commute Mix =-.
Keep on trucking with school. I was digging that music you had up last week.
I can’t believe It’s been a year. Where does the time go.
Hope you coming weeks are not so shitty.
I love that song now, even though I’d never heard it prior to you posting it the first time. Makes me feel somewhat happier.
.-= G´s last blog ..Working on the Weekend =-.
Anything to make you happy G.
I’m glad you’re so busy though sorry the week was shitty, It is a very happy song–like early Beatles
Thank you Cooper. I needed that as I struggle through many conflicting feelings
I blog from habit really. and it and the few people who comment are constants in my life
.-= pia´s last blog ..My boot camp needs a brand; no my blog needs branding; no I’m going to be my own brand =-.
At this point it time it’s like running. I feel shitty if I don’t run so I do it.
I used to blog more with the interest of questioning philosophical ideas & being entertaining, which I believe trivialized myself into a caricature.
Many years ago I was given the choice to be more entertaining, but I knew that doing that meant doing what people want, not what I want. I’d decided being me suited me better, even if it meant being unknown.
Sometimes the more you give people the more they take for granted, and the more you lose of yourself.
.-= Bennet´s last blog ..Sell Some Crazy For The Hazy =-.
Never lose yourself. If you look around most everyone has.
Great tune and post from a great read. A year later, no less.
Thanks for having included me.
.-= sauerkraut´s last blog ..Kanye goes “Joe Wilson” on Taylor Swift =-.
A year is so short really. I think it will need to be posted every year at this time. Auld Lang Syne
Still very proud to be in it, and the four minutes was worth it to hear the song again.
I’m happy to oblige.
Awesome tribute. And a great song. I am starting a petition to get Bone into the next one, though. Here is a list of signatures I have so far:
1. Bone
2.

Bone, for some reason, I lost your comment and mine replaced it.I’ll sign.
I will redo it one day soon. I lost the copy I had made and have to start from scratch and time isn’t really easy to come by these days.
I think I’ve only been reading you full time for half a year or so, you weren’t around last year. You will make the 2010 anniversary edition for sure.
