blogs

anyone here run a blog? =D

[Stone]

Nah, I've come to the realization that my life is fairly boring and only punctuated from time to time by adventures. :)

[Unheard Of]

Blogs are for the chronically self-obsessed :down:

[jessica00]

how bout live journals?

[Ranger]

I think Blogs are mainly done by people who feel the need to broadcast their private lives to a billion people that frankly don't give a crap about it. I pity the fools. Except of course hot girls who want to share their sexual antics, but that's another arena.

[Dreadnaught]

Maybe I would, but I'd spend way to much time doing it instead of living a real life.

[Nanoprobe]

Boo.

I'm only doing it as I'm too lazy to get a proper site design done in Flash. I should get it done - it'd be updated more frequently than my blog, simply because I can't find anything relevant worth sharing.

[Cougaris]

Not to mention that blogs often clog up the greatest natural resource that the net has to offer.

Our beloved Google (http://www.google.com)

:D

If they didn't cross reference each other, I'd have zero issue with online blogs.

What does the blogs mean? anyone could explain it to me ?

[Greb]

The latest internet craze. A blog is an online diary of sorts. They can be quite interesting if the Author lives or experiences interesting things. But usualy they're pretty boring.

blog = way to spend more time typing about what you're doing than doing what yo... er... contraction of 'web log', or in other words, a kind of public diary posted onto the internet which apparently a surprisingly large number of people can actually be bothered reading :bulb:

[chichi77]

:) Thank you for clear explanations. There seems always to be new words emerging out continually.:)

blogs are weird.

i like to think im a student of human nature. in any given situation im more interested in the people involved than anything else.

on the rare occasions i stumble across a weblog, usually while looking for something else or through crosslink mania, i can spend several hours reading entries and their friends entries, trying to evaluate the person, who they are and what they do, but most of all, why they want to write about it, and why anyone else wants to read about it, because it is an alien concept to me. but while its alien, i always feel that somewhere at its heart is something that i know very well, and dont like one bit.

then after some time i realise, that i can sit and marvel at their ultimate self-interest and banality, but im the one reading it and giving a ****. so i go away.

the ones that affect me at all are the ones that give me the greatest status anxiety - those ones written by incredibly sophisticated, cosmopolitan city types, or the ones by cosseted overqualified university high-flyers, or the ones who write exclusively about the fantastic parties they attend about every night.... basically, all the ones that make me think i suck compared to. that really pisses me off, and i tend to feel, thats what its writer intended.

those other sort, the ones written simply as diaries of a very ordinary life and worries, no matter how wittily posed... ill skip and forget in an instant. and i wouldnt keep one myself if you paid me to write it.

Blogging isn't all that strange. For many people it's just another outlet for their thoughts.

I actually keep a separate diary on my computer that noone else can access (bugger the handwritten ones, they take too long) that I use whenever I can't find another good outlet for my thoughts. It can help, even if what you type up is pure and utter crap, as it lets you see what you're really stuck on.

Some of it is actually interesting to some of the people I talk to, but I prefer to keep the whole thing private as I mention other people in there - and I'm not entirely sure it's right to talk about other people in a very specific way where complete strangers can read about it.

Anyway, my current blog/website is still a bunch of crap, which I shall be changing as soon as I can possibly be bothered. :)

[Nanoprobe]

Quite alright there jessica? :)

[Nanoprobe]

Hmmm.

I seemed to hate my blog enough, to, well, do this (http://naniteweb.space-combat.net/) to it.

[Redag]

Of course, there are also many of us who think of blogs mostly in terms of political blogs, like talkingpointsmemo.com and the like.

How about blogging in this forum?:D

Reading a blog written by a gal is like...

It's safe to say that I thoroughly enjoyed my past weekend. Let me break down my favorite parts for you. Picture linking makes posts so much more enjoyable.

On Friday I set off to Austin. Arrived to Taylor and we set off to get his dream piano that he's been saving for and making payments on. All was right in the world when we walked out of the music store and put a big box in the back of his van. He set it up in his room and I must say that he looks mighty nice sitting behind it. He was all smiles and I think that had to do with 1)his new piano, 2)his finally acquired beard and 3) my presence. Ow! What a great way to start a day.

I don't remember all what we did on Friday. I know that we went grocery shopping and I got an apple and we also picked up icecream and grapes. But later that night we went over to Julies' place where her, Nick, Taylor, and I all played Monopoly. I was so happy that everyone agreed to it. It's not often that I can find a group of people that I love that will play Monopoly with me. That's a sure way to make me a friend. If you meet me.. offer your participation in Monopoly. Friends for life, I tell you.

For dinner on Saturday night, Dannon Taylor and I ate at Joe's Crab Shack. That's one of the best parts of my weekend. Crablegs make my life such a good one. I was ecstatic. After washing my hands I started dancing in the bathroom and a certain lady walked in on me. No lie. It was embarrassing. But! I was too happy about the crablegs that were in my belly to think about anything else. Crab Team #1!

The adventures at Joe's, a gal facing those dark crablegs.

I guess I would be posting rants if I had a blog, which would not be too interesting. So I prefer to replay some games and have a life.

This is the girl who posted that.

[jessica00]

wow..if crablegs are the best part of her life..i pity her.

[Cougaris]

Disturbing.:bulb:

Shame, because she looks pretty decent.
