I'm sorta stuck in Chicago. Left my wallet in the UP, and am sitting around, waiting for it to return....and so I'm going to save you all a little time. As I can't go anywhere for lack of cash, I've spent the better part of a hour pressing the 'NEXT BLOG' button. My advice? Don't. Here are the stats:
76% of blogs are written in a language other than English. I'm sure they are all great, but it gives me a headache trying to recall all 476 french words I once knew and trying to piece together some sense out of them.
58% of blogs are photo albums. I know, 'a picture says 1,000 words' or some such whatever, but mostly, all the words are in French, for all the context given.
of those 58%
42% are family/baby photo albums. Of course this is fine and good. One must keep the family informed, after all. I just have issue with he ones written for anyone other than family, the ones that assume that a sorry- ass like myself (read: someone who is spending his Saturday clicking "NEXT BLOG" for an hour) would still be desperate enough to willingly sift through 177 identical baby pictures from a stranger. I can barely feign interest in babies related to me.
14% of blogs are spousal dedications. Great. remind me I'm single again.
4% of blogs have automatic music cued up, or some pop-up questionnaire. They are both alarming, more so the questionnaire, as it is usually in French, and I never know what I am agreeing to.
28% of blogs/bloggers have figured out how to trick out their site much more than I have. How do I get the cool template? Am I that computer unsavy? How do you spell "unsavy" anyway?
89% of blogs are pretty f**king boring. I'm sure mine falls into this category. I'm beginning to worry that I am becoming socially retarded. Worse yet, that I always have been.
Enough ranting. Maybe I'll go out and get....well, some fresh air, for all I can afford at the moment.
