Why I hate Blogs

This is the summary of most "live journals" and "blogs" *whatever the hell a blog is.

"so I met Jenny again today, but it was in my dream, because Im a total loser, and would never think of actually approaching a woman. Anyways! tehehe sorry for rambling. Im like this when I have had two cups of earl grey "twinings" tea. Its super! so in my dream (i didnt get much sleep last night, which you probably know!) I danced with her and I woke up crying. I had to feel my crotch to make sure I still had a penis! somehow, I was still a man"





edit:thats my random hate thought for the night


Posted by Tranc3 on May-27-2004 05:36:

Yep I know what you mean. That's why I don't read them.


Posted by goodnet on May-27-2004 05:37:

just grow some balls and talk to Jenny, god damnit.

I just cant believe they exist. Its such pansy BS. And it *might* be cool if it was full of quotes like "Pirates! Theyre paranoid! They hide stuff. Could be in their butts!" but its inevitably about how they are bored and 'just typing' or something equally unsatisfying to read. Its like reading *T)!@#ADs* posts for ever.

I got an IM and lost my train of thought. But I think its an emasculating experience to write these things, and is contributing to the pussification and emotionalization of men.

Typical blogs are lame. If you can make it different/actually relevant (which usually means NOT posting every day), they can be decent.

LOL..."pussification" sorry just saw that and couldn't stop laughing

Well obviously if you're using your blog to post all soppy stuff like that it is indeed emotionolizing as you so eloquently put it (Whether that's a bad thing or not is up to each one to decide). However, I find blogs to be quite handy for just posting whatever random thought that pops into your head now and then, which is why I have one.

Also, I fail to see how this:

quote:
"Pirates! Theyre paranoid! They hide stuff. Could be in their butts!" .


is any less unsatisfying to read than this:

One takes less time out of your life for having read it.

That may be true, but at least the longer one can give you a laugh and then make it worth your while. The short one is just random bullshit you can't possibly get if you're not one of the intarweb friends/girlfriends of that particular individual.


Posted by Orbax on May-27-2004 06:33:

actually thats a sealab quote by captain murphy from the Insurance Scam one.


but the pirates thing wasnt really the main thrust of my post. It was more of a funny thing to randomly say than a "i wish I could read this sort of literature in a blog"

Aye, I do see your point. I think mushyloaded blogs are just as crap as you, but they still can provide for some useful venting space for whatever is bugging you atm.

I just dont understand why you cant notepad it. If youre going to be writing something that has the potential # of viewers of the internet...why be so illiterate and stupid? Granted, I say some pointless shit too. But its directed towards a community that at least has some history/knowledge of me and semi-realtime interactions.

The addlepated meanderings of a bad poets dramatic resurgence into the Tullys Coffee scene...

I dunno. Its mainly that so many try to be clever, and fall so short, so terribly terribly short. Maddox rules. I grant that. He has excellent thoughts, and even if you dont agree, his method of converying thoughts is amusing enough to get past the subject most of the time.

Blogs just tend to reinforce my theory that most people probably shouldnt reproduce.

Well obviously the blogs in question are usually aimed at the people who have some knowledge of the writer, in real life and/or on the net. Similarly, if someone new to TA came in COR and read what you Orbax wrote here daily, I'm sure they'd get the same frustrated reaction that you've displayed here.

That is of course a valid point. Many people get way too pretentious and pompous in their blogs and the result is just hideous. That's not always the case though.

Dear Blog:

Me and Sarah went to the mall today and shopped around. Well I just followed her around the mall. She was with Tom again. I hate Tom. He thinks he is so cool with his "job" and his "car". If I had a nickel for everytime I hated Tom, I would have about 300,000,002.51 nickels (plus tax). BUT ANYWAYS, Last night hehehe I snuck to Sarah's house and watched her through her window. Tom was there again. She kept screaming "OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD" over and over again and kept saying how big it was. So I waited for Tom to come out of her house, and I killed him with a lead pipe. BUT ANYWAYS, I put his dead body in my closet and its starting to stink bad and my mom keeps yelling at me STUPID BITCH ALL SHE DID WAS GIVE ME BRITH AND FEED ME AND GIVE ME SOME POLACE TO STAY!1111!2529259!!11.3

::shrug::

I'm with SandLeaper on this one, it's kind of a nice way to empty your head. Especially if you've always got a million things running through it like I do. Most of the time, though, I just end up using my blog to record club nights, and sometimes other stuff pops in. I also have a written journal that I use occassionally for more personal thoughts, or if I really need to write something down and don't have immediate computer access.

I can understand where you're coming from Orbax, those idiots piss me off just as much as they do you.



Oh btw that Maddox page is feckin' ace!


Posted by Plastick on May-27-2004 14:52:

I hate blogs too. What's nice about it? Only pics of nice cute girls perhaps.

I need help from anyone ASAP!

My friend Patrick met this girl Ashley in class and didn't have the balls to ask this girl out in person the whole semester but instead wrote this letter to her for the last day of class tommorow. I say he should give her the letter and could be the lead-off hitter for all guys out there and see how things turn out. Tell me what you guys think (prefferably girls). Here's how the letter looks....

Hey Ashley,

I hope you don�t think that I�m some kind of weird, four eyed fool for writing this letter. Actually it may be a little ironic for me to write one�.since we did meet for the first time through note writing�lol Anyway your probably wondering why I�m even writing this letter. Well, first off�I�m bored and I should be studying for finals. Second I wanted to tell you something. I think you�re a cool and very cute girl. Actually I think you�re the shit (as these young kids like to say these days). As the great Patrick Aksan used to say and I quote: �If I were a fly, Id be all over you cuz you�re the shit.� Maybe it�s your sexy nose ring, or you�re coming into class late asking if there was a quiz. Or maybe it�s just the fact that I�m soooooooooo lonely and I need a friend (ha ha that was a joke�.no really it was And maybe I�m just ignorant or can�t take a hint but you never did answer my emails that I sent waaaaaaaaaaay back when. You know�..the ones that asked for your hand in marriage�or the one asking if you wanted to go to Hawaii on my yacht�...or maybe you didn�t get those. Hmmm well, if you didn�t at least I know that you got this letter.

Ashley, I have a question for you. I was wondering if you�d like to have a nice romantic dinner at McDonald�s with me this weekend? (I�m messing with you. It should be on Friday cuz they have better deals during the weekdays) But in all seriousness. Would you like to go out with me? Maybe go dancing or take a nice walk on the beach. Id like to get to know you. See what makes this East coast babe tick. Grant it� I�m not the sexiest guy, or the strongest, or even the hungest�.. Fuck it�I�m as plain as a bagel that you sell at your store. But I can promise you one thing. You�ll have a fun night out. Man I sound like a damn advertisement�..see I even have a little marketing skills to offer you. So what do ya say Ashley? Will you do the honor of going out on a date with me? It took me 11 weeks to nurse the balls to be able to ask you�.. and if you say no. It�s ok. Ill have another 12 weeks in Accounting 300 to write you a better letter/proposal.

I hope you enjoyed reading this letter as much as I enjoyed writing it. I also hope that you don�t have a boyfriend cuz I�m sure he�d REALLY enjoy reading this letter. And the fact that I just spent study time making an (_,_) out of myself really doesn�t help. I hope to hear from you soon babe (hopefully sooner than later). My cell phone number is 1 323 XXX XXXX and my email is [email protected] Hopefully if all goes well we will be talking soon. If not than I wish you a great 10 days off from school and Ill be awaiting the very awkward moment between us in Accounting 300. (I�m just kidding) Have a great break!!!
Yours truly,
Patrick �Pizda� Aksan
