PLEASE, JUST STOP WRITING!
I wish blogs would cost money. Alot of money. Why? Because that would make them much more
scarce than they are now. It's just too much goddamn mentioning about blogs in the media,
too many ads for free blogging services and too many morons writing trivial horseshit in bad
grammar. If it was extremely costly to have and maintain a blog, I can assure you there
would be much less of them.Most blogs I stumble across piss me off. In fact, I can not recall a single blog that has
been interesting to read, including the ones with perfect grammar. The authors always write
about something normal/trivial that happens to most people, in such a way that people will
chuckle occasionally when reading it, ignoring the fact that it is boring and mind-numbing.
Quit writing about your christmas celebration, your birthday, your WHAT EVER! Noone cares,
and noone will ever genuinely care. In fact, why do blogs even have readers / a audience? It's always about something that
happened during the authors week/day and there are no opinions involved, no stance, not
anything worth reading.
OK, so the author might have the ability to summarize her/his day in a slightly humoristic way. So what? Still lacks soul, heart, talent, passion and just about everything that usually makes something worth spending your time on. I bet that the incredibly large surge in free blogging services during the years is a conspiracy by some facistic goverment, wanting to keep the population of the world docile, accepting government regimes without questioning and reason, because blogs are stupid, and they make you stupid.
It's become a trend to have a blog, and honestly, I don't know why. When it's a news blog
written by some drop-out from journalist studies, it usually documents happenings in the
world several days after the major news corporations have exhausted the topic properly. As of this writing, the 15th of october, 2006, Dagbladet, one of Norways biggest newspapers,
advertised some douchebag`s blog about some political scandal in Sweden, at minimum a week
after the newspaper itself reported the same case, including all other news distributors in
Scandinavia. This begs for the obvious question: Why? Why bother to write about this when everyone interested in politics already has read about it and knows the case inside out.
Noones going to care about your pointless rehashing of a already tired newstopic.
It seems to me, and alot of people, that blogging has become a trend. Just do a search on Google for "Free Blog" and you'll end up with approximately 25 270 000 000 results. That's right, twenty five billion two hundred and seventy million results. Fuck, I can't be the only one thinking this is way too much.
Do some browsing on various blog-offering sites such as MySpace, Blogger.com, Blogspot, Blogsoft, Blogging.No (this list can go on forever), and you'll see that most of it's bullshit. It's fucking bullshit and you know it.
GODDAMNIT, STOP WRITING THIS SHIT! I feel like suicide is reasonable right now because this shit pisses me off so much.
Even the word itself pisses me off: BLOG. It sounds retarded. It's an abbreviation of
WEB-LOG. Is two syllables too difficult to pronounce for all you suckers? Then don't get
caught up in it, assholes. As a matter of fact, all words containing "blog" in some combination or other, are on my shitlist from now on.
To all the bloggers of the world who incessantly write about pointless drivel: Please, for gods fucking sake, pull your fingers off your keyboard and take a walk. You are making us all a dumber race, so just take a break allright. I hate you all. Stop Writing.
Edit (October 17th 2006): I've been getting some feedback on this rant, saying that it's sort of hypocritical, since I too write on my own webpage from time to time. Fair enough, but I myself, see a difference between this site and blogs in general found on various blogging services on the net. I write when there's something that has pissed me off (or that I let it piss me off) and I feel that I have something to say. When I hear someone talk about blogs I think about free webservices, ad-riddled, filled with nonsense about something trivial that the author experienced or heard about, and it usually lacks a strong, personal opinion and stance. I write down my personal opinions, and they're just that; opinions.
