"you took a trip and climbed a tree..."

i have no title or line from a song i am currently listening to. so that means any title that goes up there [arrow pointing up top] and the line at the end of this post [whatever line is after the line in the title in that same song, or even another random line from that song, who knows...] are both afterthoughts. not that it makes a difference since they never have anything to do with the subject [well, not intentionally] but just something interesting to note as i start out my first blog post in a while.

so, whats this going to be about? well, someone the other day made a comment to me. i believe it was someone from my family, as this memory is set in the context of thanksgiving break and i remember someone male [i want to say my brother] saying "...wait, whaaat? you have a blog?"
and they werent saying it in a "DUDE. i have got to read this thing" sort of way. i would say the tone of the comment was in the same ballpark as the "are you retarded?" phrase popular culture has come to love so much, or a "did someone just crap themselves?!?" type of please-tell-me-you-are-joking-and-are-not-really-that-lame kind of way.

now, was this comment deserved? should blogs really have this negative connotation that they seem to always be stuck with? hell yeah. are you kidding? think about who writes these pieces-of-shit. yup, thats right. anyone. that means that anyone who thinks anything [we're talking from kkk-card-carrying-sex-with-my-sister-shotgun-toting-wrangler-jean-wearing-budlight-drinking-truck-driving redneck southerns to fat-ass-bitchy-self-richeous-judgemental-i-think-im-better-than-you-and-the-world-owes-me-a-million-favors-because-i-talk-real-loud-and-offend-people slut northerners] can write anything they can finger-peck out on a keyboard and post it up for anyone else to see. thats retarded.

so yes, you should make fun of blogs. they hold no clout. the only thing that blogs have to offer as far as legitimacy is the character of the person writing it. which, first off means that this blog ain't worth shit. and second, means that 99.998% of all blogs ain't worth shit. at least every blog I have looked at. well, with the exception of one. that being the blog of nate stewart. natty, you are the man. that being said, i cant wait for new years. this isnt to say that 99.998% of the people in the world arent worth shit, just 99.998% of the assholes that decide they want to write blogs. and not all blogs, just those that are opinion pieces. those that throw up an analysis of any subjective situation and decide that their view is the one and only. grow up.

so, when my brother made this comment, it really didnt offend me. it actually made me think "hey yeah. blogs are pretty lame." especially considering the people and topics covered. and the best part is when those people are expressing opinions of theirs that are clearly aimed to offend others or spark controversy get comments on those posts that they dont like, and then get pissed at those comments. its like, "whaaat?? did someone just crap themselves??!?" are you kidding? if youre trying to start banter or assert your narrow-minded opinion, but then are upset that responses dont agree with everything you say, just join the republican party why dont you? unreal.

its like "this is my opinion. and i try to act smart, so clearly i would know that an opinion is based on subjective points of view which are built around pieced together information. but if you disagree with my pieced together view, im going to get pissed." i mean, come on. and there are waaaay too many of these out there. sure, there are informative and educational blogs. like this blog i saw about CRMs [customer relationship management] today. but those are boring and lame.

so yes. blogs are lame. will that stop me from writing one? helllz no. eff that. you remember the 99.998%? im one in 14 million. thats right, bitches! im the .002%. so read it, write this down and commit to memory, losers. i am right, you are wrong. these posts will continue to reign supreme and rain the truth on you. disagree? you're wrong.

"and you were not the same after that"
