Random Blogs

In my free time, I enjoy going to random blogs and posting.
Unfortunately, the majority of random blogs seem to be either
in foreign languages (I only speak English and Restaurant
Spanish), ads for stupid crap, or pet sites. Now, nothing
against people's pets, but I could care less about your pets.
I like my pets, but your pets are cute to you and they mean
nothing to me. Just like your baby. If I don't know you, I
don't want to see your baby. If you're a friend or a relative
then that's different, but I could care less about your pets
or your babies if I don't know who you are.

The thing I don't understand is that I'll come across a
wonderful site with someone's amazing prose or poetry, and
they'll be one or zero comments on each entry. Then I'll
come across a site with some guy's stupid cat or ugly baby
and they'll be a dozen comments. What gives? Or someone
will have something seriously deep to say about the state of
the economy, or a political insight and he'll have no comments.
Why is it that people are more interested in a stupid cat then
what's going on in the world? Are people just shallow? Or are
they afraid of rocking the boat/confrontation?

I'll find interesting sites where folks post some beautiful prose or
poetry, or make some witty remark about the state of current
affairs, and nobody comments. So they end up feeling like it's
all a waste of time and give up on their blog. Maybe the ones
with a blog about their stupid cat or ugly baby once had clever
blogs, took them down for lack of readership, and replaced them
with their stupid cat or ugly baby.

We live in a strange world my friends. Sometimes, I look
forward to the plague so we could actually have some excitement.
Here's to all those people who crave ideas rather than pictures
of someone's stupid cat.
