On Blog-Hopping
I barely have spare time in my hands during (or even after) office hours. On the rare occassions that I do, blog-hopping is one of the few things I could do with my computer to slack off without seeming too obvious. I actually find it more worthwhile than using google to search on some insignificant item or trivia.
Mostly I read the blog of people who doesn't mean that much to me (probably because most of the people that do do not own blogs :D). Every now and then I'd go to some that are worth while reading, like Francis' or Luis'. That though their little corner of the internet is a hodgepodge of random thoughts, I could still pick a bit or two of ideas that my mind was too busy to notice. I read some other blogs just to keep myself updated on their lives. After all, they're friends, and in this fast-paced world we may seldom forget to keep in touch personally.
And then...there are those blogs that I read for amusement purposes. I'm bemused how some people can actually be obnoxious, pretentious, and downright annoying even in cyberspace. I mean, come on, it IS the internet, and nobody gives a rat's ass if you're this or that if they don't know you personally. Funny how some are disillusioned over facts that will never EVER come true, like...

- they are good-looking - I know some that actually THINK and FEEL they are. I pity these people. Oh what the heck, the internet is the only place they can create a world of their own, so perhaps I should let them be. >:)
- they are sexy - some even had the guts to post their body pictures implying that they are. Hey, it's one thing to post a personal picture on your website, but to add a caption that yours is the body to die for, wake up! If it's that good, you wouldn't be wasting your time posting it on the internet for free. Right? Right? Right!
- they are intelligent - Microsoft Word with spelling and grammar checking can be used in editing posts, you know. Putting -ed where you shouldn't...I'm surprised you even know how to use a computer and not being sued by Miriam Webster for slander of the english language.
- they are all that - come on. Your SO is in love with someone else. If you're boyfriend overlooks you for someone they know less about, then you probably are not all that. You're probably nothing at all.
- they are COOL - oh God, how many people are guilty of this sin? You know, come in to my circle and see how jologs you actually look like. The first time I visited this one blog, I was laughing my ass off because this person thinks every girl wants to be her, every guy wants to be with her, and she's got the best of everything. The funny thing? SHE IS NOT IT. Hahaha! Poor girl. Good thing she's not my friend. Heehee.
Cyberspace is indeed an online circus for freaks. And you know what? I'm on it. Hahaha!
