Blogs are shit. They really are. Travel around the ridiculously termed “blogosphere” for a while and you’ll see what I mean. Seriously, go on, do it for a while. I won’t be doing anything interesting for at least a sentence or two.
Ha, I should’ve had vegetables for dinner. That’s what I get for being awesome, deliciously low nutrition snacky times. Back yet? Alright.
Notice what I’m talking about? No? Alright. Basically nearly every blog is completely fucking the same. Chances are, you hit one consisting of every single website the author finds mildy hilarious. Pretty great, huh? How was it the second time, when it had a different URL? How about the fifth? The twentieth? What the fuck? Alright, so you also read somebody’s political viewpoints or election coverage. How was that for you? Mind numbing? Maybe you found a movie or music review blog. Great, so you got a single person’s impossibly narrow selection of bits of culture. Maybe it was useful for you, if you read a review for something you were thinking about buying. But come on, you were going to buy it either way, weren’t you?
Blogs have a lot of potential. They could reinvent the way we communicate, the way we record our history. They offer a day-in-the-life view of the modern human, but they so rarely do. We could be using them to regale our fellow Earthworlders with amazing stories, or for sparking incredible debate and shared community understanding! It would be a Zen-powered eutopia of typing madness and it would fucking save the world. All we have to do is take those intriguing thoughts we all have several times per day and publish them in WordPress. We cann all achieve an evolution in society together.
Except I’m tired so I’ll probably do it tomorrow or something.
