in a rather amusing episode, my brother yesterday accidently sent an email to the West Australian Deputy State Solicitor.
who happens to be one of the top ranked lawyers in the state.
it runs in the family, the stupidity.
the email was meant for my mother; but oh well.
it was pretty hilarious.
I've been blog surfing, you know, just reading random blogs.
and it just struck me; the variety of things people actually talk about on their blogs.
without question, the one thing all bloggers had in common was that everything they blogged about was about or related to themselves.
[leaving out food, fashion and etc. blogs.]
and obviously, people only want to talk about themselves.
thats the whole point of a blog.
but the style of writing, content in relation to the author, mood, tone, flair.
the differences were mind-boggling.
reading about someone else's day is hardly very stimulating though, unless they have wit.
though, most people I know have little wit, and less common sense.
if they write about something other than their day; I'll read it.
some insight, some thoughts.
because to tell you the harsh truth, no one really cares if you went to school today and 'it sucked'.
another thing that was running rampant in quite a few of the blogs I skimmed through:
the denouncement of Israel for its treatment of Palestine.
understandable, considering current affairs; but really.
sometimes its quite over the top.
most times actually.
I can't say that I know enough to form an informed opinion of the matter, but bashing Israel and blaming them entirely is quite unfair, considering that they were provoked.
and al-Hamas was warned.
whether or not other actions were justified; I have to read up on that.
I'm doing my extended essay on anti-semitism anyway, by the end of it I'll have more than just an informed opinion on it.
I'll also have a 4000 essay to prove it.
I stumbled across the author Neil Gaiman's blog today.
I have no idea how I got there (story of my life).
but anyway; I started reading it, and enjoyed myself immensely.
he's as witty as the books the writes!
surprise surprise.
his blog was voted Best Literature Blog during the weblog awards 2008.
weblog awards?
and I thought I was strange for being enthusiastic when someone suggested I make a blog for Erich.
I eventually decided against it, to maintain Pamela's sanity.
