Blogs

In a quest to learn more about blogging, the art of recording pointless musing in a public forum, I stumbled upon a stunning realization. In fact, blogging is not synonymous with my definition in hardly any account. Blogging, to my complete surprise, is more commonly utilized for the sharing of political, technological, or otherwise innovative ideas.

Go figure.

My blogs can  be described as none of these. In fact, if there were a verb to most accurately describe my writing, it would be "extrovative". In other words, the exact paradox of innovation. Oh, how naive I was.

But why is it, as I search for famous and popular bloggers, that my google results are consistently and relentlessly polluted with websites guiding me to a list of marketing strategies, or a rambling on the newest java update, or an accumulation of commonsensical ways to reduce stress; ridiculously over-explained by closeted egoists and peppered with humbling comments arrogantly suggesting a completely fabricated inferiority complex? I see no benefit of these forums to society. Trust me, the American people do not have an intense longing and desire to hear more political rants, more argumentation, more exploitation, more invection. They have no moral or emotional need to comprehend the exact guidelines of every web program. They are not improved by reading "10 ways to simplify your life" or "5 most effective ways to show your husband you care"; wordy and modern recitations of age-old proverbs that, when carried out, seem eerily similar to most of the acts commonly included in the embodiment of elementary respect.

I realize that this post has become somewhat hypocritical, but it is not to become habit. It is a promise and a disclaimer. I will never again write a post against a subject, on politics, concerning technology, or offering advice, unless from a purely philosophical standpoint...

Or if they happen to come up on my random word generator.

In my blog, admittedly, I waste time. But I don't waste words.
