I’ve been reading through weblogs for a few days and I am astounded at the volumes of identically irrelevant crap I’ve found. First of all, to the people who write about the derivative piss that happens to them during the day and nothing else, stop. My day is no more interesting than yours, the difference is I have to experience mine, but I don’t want to experience yours. If you can’t provide an interesting commentary or insights into the people around you, that apply to people in general, then what your writing is irrelevant to everyone else on the face of the planet. For those of you that write in IM shorthand or ancient HaCkeR lettering, stop, it just makes you look stupid and childish. As for the people who proclaim that they want to kill themselves on their weblogs, stop writing. Go get some professional help. NO ONE on the internet is going to solve your problems for you, so stop asking. To the people who cover their weblogs in cut and paste anima pictures, wow… your so unique and hip I don’t know what to say to you other than, one is enough. To the 30 something, bald, lonely guy who thinks he is a photography and who’s penis I had to see as I flipped through his photo gallery, you have no sense of composition and if it wasn’t cold when you took the picture then your under equipped. NO ONE wants to see your genitals and considering the fact that most of the weblogers in the community are still in high school, I have to question your “artistic” motives. To the 20-30 something women who take the time to write “single, not looking” in their profile and then complain about the fact that they get hit on, I can solve your problem for you. Just leave the single part out of your profile or say that you are married. If you haven’t figured that one out then you’re an idiot or you have the kind of relationship problems that healthy people avoid like the plague. By writing that all your doing is attracting the flies. To those who ask for relationship advice in their weblogs, if you haven’t figured that your opinion is the one that matters, your doomed.
People have a right to blog and write whatever the hell they want… for a lot of people, it is like journaling or keeping a diary. If they aren’t William Shakespeare, so what? They can do what they want. You, by the same lucky set of laws, don’t have to read or look at them.
You know that X on the upper right hand corner?
Click on it.
My journal is boring as shit, but I can look back at it (and do, periodically) and remember things I would have otherwise forgotten.
So, don’t read it. What’s the problem?
hhhmmm… did i hit a few too familiar nerves?
Hell no. My blog is fascinating reading. But you come off as an insufferable je… Oh, never mind.
So it was your intent to “hit a few too familiar nerves”?
I rarely use my blog. However, when I do, it’s mainly to rant and let off major steam that I can’t/won’t do in real life.
Of course, I keep mine totally private. I have no intention of going to prison.
And also, nobody’s forcing you to read this boring shit…so stop reading it. I kept mine private (as much as anything on the web can be private, per se) and maybe those people should have, also. But some people want other people’s input, good or bad. I also consider it very therapeutic that depressed or suicidal people keep a journal…if for no other reason than to vent.
If it bugs ya, I recommend 7 up yours’ advice.
Well, at least he picked a proper name to use on this board.
Well, That Insufferable Jerk… (tee-hee), I suggest that you soundly reprimand these individuals who sent you a link to their blog, photo album or otherwise for you to scrutinize. Demand your twenty minutes back.
You know whats even worse than a boring weblog? An insufferable bastard who doesn’t know how to put breaks between paragraphs.
Its all one paragraph jetgirl, one thought; one paragraph.
Tell ya what…
When I take all my boring personal rantings and ravings out of my blog and replace them with instructions regarding the use of:
… who’s and whose
… your and you’re
you’ll be the first one I notify.
I admit to the mistake of your/you’re
But the who’s is possessive and correct.
No, it’s not.
I use my blog to write about whatever the hell I want… and if you don’t like it, then you can take the wise advice of 7 up yours.
F_X
a yes it is you can use both whose and who’s. Find a reference that says you can’t.
No, you dumbass: who’s is who is or who has. The possessive of who is whose. Christ, the dictionary isn’t for wiping your ass.
>Find a reference that says you can’t.
Well, how about EVERY BOOK ON ENGLISH USAGE EVERY PRINTED? I have one right here. It’s called the DICTIONARY. Jesus christ, man, stop looking at people’s photos of their dicks and suicide notes and get thee to webster.com.

who’s (contraction of who is)
whose (possessive of who”
