Ah, the Internets. You can't swing a cat around here without hitting six of your friend's blogs. And given that most of your friends just sit in a chair doing Excel for Someone all day, 75% of these blogs Never Should Have Been. Unless you're This Guy and you've had YET ANOTHER encounter with a terrifying spider, no one wants to read your blog.
Not to mention that blogs are the 21st century technological realization of the old conversational adage that people “are never really listening to you, they're just waiting for their turn to speak” (if you count Fight Club quotations as adages). I can hear the cheers of Kelly Sharp now, for having finally circumvented that annoying part of a conversation in which someone else gets to talk.
A bit hostile, you might say? Maybe. I could have kept my views to myself, but you all just wouldn't Leave Me Out of It. Just yesterday alone I had no less than 5 conversations (while trying desperately to do my Excel for my Someone) about your blogs. “Name my blog, edit my blog, read my blog, love my blog,” you all respectively pleaded.
No, I will not name, read, edit, or love your blog. No I will not watch yet another music video of you going down hill on sticks. Instead I will create my own Meta Blog-a-Log, in which I blog about the experience of blogging. I will cover Failed Blogs, celebrate Blog of the Day, and be the general Voice of Reason against Mike Franco's Blog Ideas. Because, goddamnit, it's my turn to speak.
I heart you
