Being A Blog Politician For A Day.

I have a theory, that not everyone is interested in your life. The people that would come to bring themself to read your loonng posts are people either in love with you, good friends with you, damn bored, have a liking for you, or to find out what you wrote about them or your other friends. It likely could be all of the above too. Cynical enough?

But the truth lies evident; I myself find it sometimes boring to continue reading posts all about one self ("I saw a frog... kissed it and it turned into a princess. I was amazed and went home." .. along those lines). Sometimes blogging is meant to inject abit of humour, political issues and the disturbance of emotions. Like any other form of reading text actually. There's no point puplishing posts if it's meant to be self-dominant, you might as well get a TeenGirl's Diary or something; stuff kids central would allow to be advertised.

I'm glad enough that most of my friends don't try to bombard their readers with small details about their lives ("I brushed my teeth harder today.") where this pattern is miraculously obvious in bloggers of primary-school level. No offence, guys. But if you've got a weird hobby (you like catching insects) or a weird job (you work in the asylum) and blog about your day, it'd be pretty interesting. Well, if you're like the rest of the remaining average people, couldn't you just go nuts about your mum's bad cooking? Or how you have this sadistic thought of pushing your teacher down the stairs (I'm not initiating anything..though it'd crossed my mind before) or anything.

Come on people, it's time to talk about your projects, hobbies, political issues, social problems and stuff like that. Hey, I bet your English teachers bug you on how journal writing improves your English.. you might like to try that. If we continue wasting time on hoping people would actually stop and read something that everyone else finds normal, it's already boring. You don't get me? Just continue blogging, but this time think about Bush and his political views. You'd get the point.

(and I was meerly trying to act like a politician.)
