There is absolutely no need for me to have good grammar. I put up
pictures of myself because pictures speak of details that words cannot.
The pictures bring back memories of the day's events when the mind's eye
cannot.
I even admit I am guilty of narcissism. (Did I spell that correct?
Can't be bothered to check the dictionary) Yes, I like to see pictures
of myself. I think it would be interesting to see my pictures after a
few years and see how I have changed.
Just because I write flippantly and casually here does not mean I am not capable of writing proper English when it matters.
Some of the nominees seem to have forgotten the purpose of a blog. A
blog is an online diary. It is not a website with a distinct purpose
for a defined target audience. Some of the nominees write in perfect
English, their entries are more people-centred rather than self-centred,
obviously aiming to be recognised as a "intellectual" site rather than a
site which sole purpose is for the author's keeping.
Sure, that would make a good website.
But not a good blog. In my opinion, a good weblog is one which can
attract many people to view it despite it remaining in its raw form
without any sensationalism. The site should be of blatant opinions and
real life accounts. That makes it a blog, not a forum for serious
discussions (whose's main participant is the author).
Anne Frank's diary remains the most famous diary ever. You think the
little girl wrote in perfect English with bombastic words? You think her
diary gives the intellectual simulation other books may? No. But people
still read her life stories with relish. And the best thing? She didn't
even MEAN for it to be read by an audience when she wrote. That, is
success for writers.
The Diary of Adrian Mole are full of stupid thoughts of a young boy
wanting to masterbate everyday. Why do people still read the book?
Because it is REAL. It is something people can relate to.
I am not saying that people who actually bother to do up their sites
to relate to the highly intelligent crowd are wrong of course. If they
want to make their blog a public thing for a defined audience, it is
their business. If they want to discuss serious events (like politics?),
it is of course their choice.
It is just my opinion that a simple and beautiful thing like a
personal weblog should not be spoilt with such serious issues. The
entries should be light-hearted and with vivid descriptions of the
author's life and views, isn't that a blog is supposed to be?
I can write every entry of mine in the manner this entry is written,
but why should I? I don't wanna fall asleep when I read it months
later.
My usual readers are already falling asleep with this entry, yes? LOL..
And if you don't realise that I was joking from most of the statements
you quoted, perhaps you are not as smart as you try to portray youself
to be. What the fuck is a metastasis anyway? Whats the point of writing
that word there when almost no one can understand it?
