OCD on blogs

Sep 21, 2005 02:38

There is something about blogging that brings out the passive aggressive, manic depresive in me. It is an open format. There is no way of measuring progress outside of readership. No one to pat you on the back and say "nice work buddy", only to criticize meanial spelling errors and disagreement in assumptions. The only work that garners ( Read more... )

no anyway, blogger's dilemma....thriving on feedback...hrmm. this isn't something you can blame on other people (with their lack of feedback), and it's best to accept that people aren't indiffeent to you so much as what you say speaks for itself. (in my case, i have little to add because you voice exactly what i wanna say.)

and is livejournal really ideal for constructive criticism? probably not. when i read what you have to say, it functions better as a document of yourself. and to a point, i have to sit back and merely be content as an *observer* of your rants.

but of course, my appreciation runs deep.

is that a closet compliment? i think you of all people best understand this frustration.
then again, you use your blog for venting personal things. i appreciate the brave honesty you give. it is an example i ought to follow...

PS - should I link your blog for my friends again?

I exagerate things for comic effect or to compell you, dear reader.

That's what I do, when I'm in a mood. There's nothing wrong with wanting to make people laugh.

That being said, I am going to continue with my pissy rants about random shit until either
a) the intarwebbernets dies, or
b) I forget how to use it.

I realize that I will eventually die, but by then I'll just be bloging vicariously through my children. The poor bastards. :D

lololololololololololololololololololololololol!

yeah, i know you don't want to hear any more of my political rants - but you don't have to read them

nilsinedeo September 23 2005, 02:13:55 UTC

I don't have a clue why that was so funny, but ok. :D

and QUIT READING MY MIIIIIIIIIIIND. ;) I enjoy them sometimes, but politics makes me more pissy than anything else.

Politics and driving.
