I know that this is common knowledge. Yes, people are odd; oh, enjoy the diverse bliss, blah blah blah. But seriously, people are weird. Although I have spent most of the evening in the library, a figurative petri dish of paranormal activity, my actual complaint is of the virtual world. In a fit of procrastination, I decided to read some random blogs. There are really two ways of doing this, in my esteemed opinion. First, you just hit the "next blog" icon up in the right hand corner. Ingenious. Now, I do tend to get lots of foreign language blogs which either means that there are more foreign bloggers than not or the blogger gods assume that because I am in New Zealand, I must speak Chinese. Whatever. The second method is more interesting; you go to a friend's blog and see whose blogs they've recommended and so on. Off you go, to weird connections you never imagined. "I think I know that guy. Um, yeah, he's clearly insane now."
See, that's the real problem. Some blogs literally are by crazy people, I think. Those are okay, entertaining even. But then there are people who advertise their blogs to their friends and then rant about these same friends, significant others, parents, fights they just had over the remote. I mean, go ahead and complain, sure. But how passive aggressive is that? You can't complain about people you know when that is your target audience. I would love to link these blogs, but again, these random blog connections would come back to haunt me. I just suggest that you do it yourself. I think it's much more entertaining to write blogs that don't exactly have anything to do with my life. Sure, I tell you that I burn popcorn, but I am not about to write some blog that causes tears of pain to flow onto my keyboard and causes your cheeks to burn out of sheer embarrassment for me. At least I hope not. :)
