Too Much Information
Ok… I actually have a few different topics to talk about, but I'm going to save those for another day, perhaps tomorrow or Tuesday. I've noticed on an increasing number of websites (namely blogs) that people talk a great deal about their personal going-ons. I'm not just talking about general information about their lives, I'm talking in-depth detail about every little thing that happens in their lives. “Today I woke up. then i rolled out of bed and stood up. then i ate some cereal. then i got some toast. then i went to school and miss morgan was there. then i went to my next class. then i went outside for recess. then i came home. boy was it funn!!!!!!!” Things like that. Seriously, why do people think that everyone on the internet really wants to know every little detail about their lives?? I try desperately to not post things like that… very rarely if ever do I talk about things I did today, etc… I might mention it casually, but generally only if it's something important to me, like finally moving out to the house at school. I don't post minute by minute details of my daily life.
Why do people think it's interesting? The most interesting sites to read are ones that actually offer some kind of food for thought, or comedic relief, something. Anything. The occasional post about something happening in your life is fine, but a list of your daily routines is really just a waste of web space.
Man… I just don't like people. Seriously. My ideal day involves avoiding as many people as I can. There are a very few people in this world that don't annoy me out of my skull. The rest of the inhabitants of this sad little planet do not have that distinction, and I'm forced to deal with them on an almost daily basis. Why is it that the majority of people on this planet are just so freaking idiotic? Ignorant, apathetic, self-centered, egotistical, narcissistic, annoying people. Argh. Reminds me of a “Twilight Zone” episode where the guy just wants everyone to be gone, and *poof* everyone disappears. Although, if everyone were to suddenly disappear, who would I mock?

You are right about the posting about daily routine. Who cares? I noticed that my last blog entry was just that. However that has been my only one in a while so I guess it's ok. Personally I can't stand many people either.

Ok Really I know I have no life…I am aware of this…youve seen my latest blog entery! My brother and I were talking over Christmas and he had mentioned how some people use their blogs as a diary…like “oh my gosh Jane was wearing the worst shirt ever today…you could totally tell shes pregnat with Josh's baby..”Ok really you put that online and gee Jane or Josh just might end up reading that…or some how getting back to them…I agree Blogs should not be I woke up and ate eggs today…I know I do that at points, but I try and post a blog to let ppl know whats going on (i.e Got a job, moved out…blah) stuff that people will want to know. At some point I want to have a whole site that shows off just my work and some peoms…but for now my little blog on MySpace will have to be my outlet in the world wide web….
