How Unfamous Am I Right Now

I am ambitious.

This is my curse, because I could have all the ambition in the world, but nowhere to feed it to. For example, I have a very powerful ambition to become famous in the blogging world. But sadly, I have been an official 'blogger' for about two hours now and when I searched "Pirate Val" in the blog search engine, I did not come up.

I should have been first on the list. After all, my name is Pirate Val. My blog is called Pirate Val. This is what I searched for. But instead, what came up was some pathetic girl taking bad pictures of her really ugly chihuahua consequently named 'Val', and some other worthless teen figuring out his pirate name, and it happened to be Pirate Val of something or another.

I did come up, however, when I searched "Pirate Val, latoya". This made me feel a little better, but on the other hand- who in God's name would ever search for that? And would I really want them to be reading my blog in the first place?

But I have been productive in getting famous in the past two hours. I looked at every blog listed on the "Blogs of Note", and one happened to draw comic strips of pirates. EL PACIFICO. I left them a comment, offering my experience as a pirate to their stories. I can't see why they wouldn't take me up on that. I mean, why not draw inspiration right from the source if it is available?

Now, I am a little taken aback to the amount of people referencing themselves as "pirates" or that they enjoy "pirating". Every time I see one of these claims, I get all excited, thinking it is someone I know, but it turns out to be some 14-year-old boy who likes to illegaly download movies, or some hippie who started a blog when he was high and liked to think of himself as a pirate.

But these people are not pirates. They are nothing like pirates. And I am saddened by how cheap this particular title has become. It seems as though everyone can call themselves a pirate now. And I am worthless.

But not for long. Soon enough, when people search for "pirate" in the blog search engine, I will come up as number one... so there, you little punk Grace O'Malley.
