I have belted out Ice Ice Baby for karaoke several times. At Gleek Retreat. At the Epic Tweetup last summer. At different #TechKaraoke events. Yes, I’m a bit addicted.
For VlogTalk this week, I decided to change the words to fit my life more. Watch out Robert Van Winkle. Mommy is on your tail.
Word to your blogmother.
For the lyrics to Blogging Ain’t Easy, in case you couldn’t understand my rapping, here they are:
Yo, tweeps, let’s kick it!
Alright post. Comment and share.
Blogging’s back and I vlog with flair.
Content, grabs ahold of me tightly
Blog like a mommy daily and nightly.
Will I ever stop? Yo; I don’t know?
Turn on the webcam, and I’ll glow.
To the extreme I rock a blog like a mommy
Write up a post and wordpress like a tsumani.
Blogging, you know it ain’t easy.
Deadline looms making you feel queasy.
Linkup, when I post a dope snapshot.
Check-in from a boat and call it my yacht.
Love it or leave it, you better page rank
If you don’t get the views, your hits will stank.
Got a full diaper? Yo, I’ll change it
Check out my redesign as soon as I arrange it.
