as a few of you are already aware, i spend minutes everyday, or other day, or three days, bringing the hard-hitting journalism and commentary you deserve. i comb the literature, cite the facts, and post those difficult-to-capture pulitzer photos. this is my sacrifice for all of you. sometimes it’s a slow day on the blogging front, and i could compromise a few of my values and post some garbage about how i made a quilt last night, or how the cafeteria was all sold out of buffalo chicken wraps and i was pissed…but i don’t.

however, recently it has occurred to me, that some people actually make a blog out of this. various sites, which will go named, such as “livejournal” or “webdiary” and the like actually give those itching to share the mundane details of their life (like how it took 4 hours to shovel the driveway and you didn’t expect it to take that long but afterwards, the hot chocolate was really good…like your mom used to make) a chance to let it all out.

i don’t really understand the point. maybe i’m just jealous and bitter because all they have to do is wake up in the morning and take a really long crap in order to have something to write about; whereas my writers pull their hair out for hours, only seem to work about 3-4 days a week, and after all that spit out some rant about jamba juice or a punchline about some current event. and when they’re off, man do i struggle. and by no means am i saying my life is interesting - it’s not. i am a student. i have a computer. end of story.

but seriously. i know the internet is full of useless crap, but why would anyone care that you stayed in last night to do some cooking with your fiance. then the two of you watched “step mom” and went to bed. before bed, you read some of the da vinci code and you’re almost done! you can’t wait for the movie.

why are you blogging about this? and most importantly, why are you blogging at all? you already have a boyfriend - isn’t the point of keeping up a blog to score dates?

i guess i’m also oldschool when it comes to the diary thing. AS I RECALL, any diary you bought at office depot or some pump-up back-2-school stationary store had a LOCK on it. as in NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS BUT MATT MCPLAYER IS THE CUTEST GUY IN THE 3rd GRADE. i bet the web diary people now were probably the same folk that flipped out at age 8 when their older brother stole their diary and picked the lock with a paperclip. now all he needs is a computer and some googling skillz.

and next, don’t call me a stalker for stumbling on your site and reading it. i mean, it’s OUT THERE. and since you know people are going to randomly come across it, the least you could do is embellish a bit. maybe throw in a fact about CHUCK NORRIS
