From a blog I used to have called Otherpeoplesblogs.
Some guy named Paul Davidson, has this great blog manifesto posted.
I especially approve of:
I will not post about my failing relationship.
I will not talk about polls, the act of taking polls, or the results of any given kind of poll that will tell you which Lord of the Rings character, Star Wars character, cartoon character or Dr. Who character my personality says I should be.
There is a great comic strip called Dork Tower, which has done some great bits about people just having quizzes and such in the blogs.
I will not take pictures with my cell phone and create a mini-blog that is supposed to be interesting because I have taken all these strange pictures (whose resolution sucks anyway) while I walk through my day-to-day activites that may include a post-office box, my shoes, a dead animal carcass in the street or a sleeping bum.
Have we truly jumped-the-cyber-shark with people descending to the idea of using digi-pic’s of their friend’s dog’s ass in order to somehow maintain a relevant dialogue via the Intranet? Puh-lease. At least turn the camera on yourself and let us see the embarassing boredom these people must exist in every day in order to wantenly post such drivel for everyone to analyze so indiscretely.
You can stuff your sorry’s in a sack, mister!
You need to see more blogs. The picture thing, is more common than you would think.
