I guess that’s where it’s at these days, but what???
WTF
I mean I guess that’s what the whole thing with Digg & others where it’s what? You post a list of your favorites, your bookmarks?
Why?
Why would I post individual items from these blogs that I like to go to?
Why not just send you to those blogs?
Oh, I guess that’s what Digg & stuff are about, right?
Those blogs are all run & maintained by people (punk kids) that are all way cooler & hipper than I’ll ever be. Right?
Most if not all of what I know about anything that’s cool on the Web, I got from http://www.boingboing.net/
I found it from http://growabrain.typepad.com/
which is a goddam real estate blog out of Riverside, California.

This is how I thought of a Blog:
like a daily diary kind of thing of where you were at; as if anybody else gave a shit about such things.
No, wait…. My thought(s) was (were) that I would use this as a place to stick stuff like pictures & declarations & revelations & invocations(?) & whatevers to friends & family & weird stalkers & such.
But I seem to be so sluggish at doing so that nobody would ever bother to keep coming back to check up on where I was/am at.

Then it’s a Blog!
Right?

So I looked it up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog
Interesting.
Apparently….

I am so not in the Moment. Apparently.
I caught this one thing on, I’m pretty sure it was on http://www.wired.com/
an interview with this guy who was supposedly (allegedly) the original blogger, the guy who invented the idea, or the first one to ever do it, or something, & he was this longhaired freak from somewhere near Mountainaire, New Mexico (there was a picture of him), & he was saying something to the effect of: a blog is like a record of where you have been on the Internet, so it is a series of links of where you have been, & he said “if you have more original content than links on your blog, then you need to learn some humility” or something like that. I can’t seem to find that post so I can’t post a link to the sonofabitch…I tried, I swear tagod.
That made me feel even more uncomfortable than I already did about being on the Internet already. There was a picture of him, he was (is) a longhaired freak wearing a funny cap looking like someone I would totally get along with, but…..
