The whole "blogging" culture has made me sick for quite some time now. This is a phenomenon that has existed long before the likes of LJ and other spin offs, and over the years I've watched the flow of filth grow from a trickle into a raging flood. Browsing around on LJ, I read with fascination as one self absorbed teenager after another spews forth mountains melodramatic bullshit that is best left for the diary under the mattress. Unfortunately, the same technology that brought us email spamming and Pokemon video games now allows anyone to be published internationally. This is a freedom and a luxury that is empowering, yet highly fucking annoying.
There are some of you who can write, and do so very well. I would love treat all three of you to lunch. The rest of you fall into at least one, but likely more of the following troublesome categories:
a) whiny
b) boring
c) stupid
d) psuedo intellectuals
e) subscribe to the false belief that obscurity = superiority. ie. "have you heard the latest MouseWanker album? yea dude, it's like underground brit-pop, but like, a duo, and they use all native american instruments"
f) have missing teeth
g) missing limbs
h) voted republican, but brag about how you voted for Nader to your friends
i) call yourselves "emo", or use the word as an adjective in every day conversation
j) call yourselves "punks" ... a movement which peaked in the 70s ... as did Disco
k) have raging halitosis
l) couldn't script your way out of a wet paper sack
m) are webscene-slut wannabe camgirls (i.e. oish.com, goobita.com) ... get a fuckin life.
n) ride the short bus to school
Yes, I am quite aware of the irony (and hipocrisy) of posting an anti-blog message on LJ. Besides, I'm just fucking with you.
