Just Another Blogger

I think it's interesting to find old blogs. And by old I mean blogs that haven't been updated for at least two years. I especially like finding old blogs that used to be updated nearly every day. There was one I was just reading in which a woman complains about all the rejection letters she gets from publishers to posting excerpts from the latest novel she's writing (she's very vulgar when it comes to writing novels) to talking about how mundane being a mom is. Out of all of the things she posted, I honestly preferred the complaints she had about rejection letters.

I didn't read every post she had. The blog ranged from 2002 to 2006...that's a lot of complaining to read. But I found it a heck of a lot more interesting than the old blog I found with only two posts. That ranged from March 2001 to March 2001. Boring. But even that one was more interesting than the one that was a completely different language.

I find these blogs by typing a random word or phrase and adding dot blogspot after it. Every single blog I looked up today had not been posted since at lease 2006. And all of them had the same template. I also found that most of them were very sarcastic people, people that seemed like the only reason they even bothered to post was because they were bored and had nothing else to do.

I finally decided I was bored with finding blogs created in 2001 and never posted on again and just clicked the "Next Blog" at the top of the page. They were more up to date blogs, but they weren't much better than the random ones I'd been finding by typing in words and phrases in the address bar. One of them didn't let me click on the "Next Blog" button and I felt incredibly trapped and afraid some virus was going to get on my computer and destroy everything.

Yes, I am very paranoid about the internet, especially when suspicious things like that happen.

So far nothing has happened to my computer, but I do feel pretty cheated out of an hour of my life. There are a lot of people out there who have pointless, stupid blogs. Maybe someone thinks the same thing of my blog, but I like to think mine is more sophisticated than all those others that I'd been looking at pointlessly for hours.
