I've just wasted several minutes of my life reading some blogs.
I'd always been of the opinion that blogging is a waste of time unless you are some incredibly interesting person (and very few bloggers are), but I hadn't realised just how self obsessed, pretentious and fucking boring bloggers are. The next time someone tells me they have a blog, I will go and read it. If it isn't a thrilling, interesting and intellectually challenging work of art I will tell them to give it up next time I meet them. If they persist in their inane online ramblings the only remaining option is the flamethrower.

Why can't people just keep a personal diary?

Blogging ruined my life.*

I made a My Space when all the cool kids were doing it
I posted twice. Once to say I had no need for a blog, and then to say I still had no need for a blog but that I had a really cool monkey.

Do you still have this monkey?

Hell yes
(He may be cuddly and not actually real though.)

He is lully.
That is in fact one of the best blogs ever to exist. It stopped after 2 posts, one of which had a monkey, and the other made fun of blogs.
