The "next blog" - comments from a casual observer

Today I ventured into the world of unknown - the "next blog" link.
For the most part I was incredibly disappointed. Aside from the 30% that were written in a foreign language, the rest of them were all TOTAL CRAP.
2 or 3 of them appeared to be written by angst-y teens who couldn't be bothered to include the vowels to most of the words they write. It appears to be a trend, which really offends my sensibilities. One was some gay guy who has a miserable life and listens to Elton John a lot. 2 more of the blogs I came across were by people who are totally depressed and write about how sad they are every day.
One of them looked like the person who created it was just trying to be as obscure as possible while incorporating no meaning what-so-ever into their text. And what the hell is with this blog? That's just plain irritating - not to mention useless.

Now, it's not that I'm encouraging censorship when it comes to blogging, nor do I want to infringe on anyone's rights to "blog" in whatever manner they see fit; but for the most part, I'd have to say that everything I saw today was crap that showed either a profound lack of respect, or a plethora of ungratefulness and depression.

(If you are going to put your thoughts/feelings/pictures/grammar/lifestyle on display in a public forum, you've pretty much got to expect that someone else may view it and think that it's a waste of cyberspace - everyone takes that chance, myself included. I'm not saying that you are obligated to CARE about said opinion of your work, but it's a good thing there's an unlimited amount of virtual paper, or most of you would likely be culled from any position of feigned usefulness or importance.)

To all of you who can't spell, are too lazy to type the vowels in words and have horrendous grammar: you are NOT as original as you think you are. If you think that really shitty writing gives you more depth than anyone else, you are mistaken... from what I can see, you're not original at all since that seems to be the way that most uneducated people choose to express themselves.

Myself, when I write here it's usually because I'm bored, I found something I want to discuss, or maybe because something in real life happened that I want to write about. Occaisionally my dry sarcasm gets away from me and I think I'm funny and want to distribute my humour a little. I don't flatter myself to think that people are really interested in what I have to say, nor do I claim to be particularly interesting. I write about whatever comes to mind, and boohoo if everyone doesn't like it. I don't need to be the greatest, the most artistic, or a martyr perpetually struggling against society, but at the very least, I hope that anyone who discovers my blog by way of "next blog" won't drop their jaw and be stunned by how rediculous I am.
