So I was cruising around WordPress looking for interesting blogs I could comment on as a means of slyly directing more traffic to my blog. I searched for tags like, “comedy,” “humor,” “cupcakes,” etc., anything I find remotely interesting. The amount of boring-ass ugly blogs that came up was astounding. And many of them were un-related to my search terms, which means, some of you bastards are illegitimately and inappropriately tagging your posts! Why are these people blogging? They make me want to blog all over my shoes. I doubt anyone has the desire to read about a 14-year old girl’s day, unless she’s a slutty 14-year old, in which case, lots of old perverts want to read about it, but if not, that’s what LiveJournal is for. Equally pointless? People basically re-posting news stories with their boring commentary. Stop boring me! If I want news I’m going to the New York Times or CNN or Gay City News or something remotely reputable, not “Dan Stevens Thoughts on World Climate Change.” And for the love of God people, you’ve got templates at your disposal! Please, put the effort in for some amount of aesthetic order. And if you don’t care what your blog looks like, that’s what LiveJournal is for!
Now this may come off as hypocritical, seeing as I myself am a blogger currently blogging on my blog, but I like to think that this blog has a purpose: to be original and funny. Or interesting. In some way. Vaguely. Blog! At the very least, I observe the rules of proper grammar and punctuation. So that’s what I am offering – an example of good English. And I have a unique perspective on life as a middle class, unemployed, white, female, college graduate living in New York who doesn’t like Sarah Jessica Parker. Who knows what I’ll say next?! And sometimes, pictures. Who doesn’t love a good picture?! Blog BLOG BLAGH!!
