Blogs suck. They really, really do. It's a bunch of people talking about their lives, while stroking their egos. I'm certainly not immune from that. I try my best to just write on topic's that interest me but sometimes I come off as arrogant, self righteous, and like a know-it-all. Half of the blogs I write are never published and some of them I've wrote, (and maybe you've read) I've later deleted because I re-read them and didn't like the tone.
Sharing opinions and views are okay. But sometimes reading blogs makes you want to punch a wall or yell in an empty field. One of the worst things I've done is read some of the religious blogs. In particular, there is one I read that drives me insane. They'll prescribe the problem they see and offer a solution. But the whole thing reeks of pride, even when talking about humility. It reeks of self righteous religiosity and arrogant holier-than-thou circle jerks. Pardon my language, perfect bloggers.
It just rubs me the wrong way reading a blog about humility and admitting fault when it's filled with "I'm great because ____" and so many "I's", your head will spin. And it's not just religious blogs. I was reading another blog about a topic that interests me. The author made every attempt to provoke readers and gain attention. Are we that self-absorbed we'll use our blogs to play "Look at me! Look at me!" with our writing?
Sometimes I read other peoples blogs and it makes me never want to blog again because I'm afraid people will see me in the same light. Sometimes I read my OWN blogs and see myself in the same light. So what's the point of this blog? I'm not sure. Frustration, pet peeves, airing my complaints with society.
Wow, my blog sucks too.
Don't be surprised if this is deleted soon....
