blog annoyances + bacon

I have a new peeve. Well, actually, this isn't so much of a new one. It's been around for a while, but I've noticed that often I want to vent here rather than give any sort of entertaining comments... oh well.

So, yeah, blogs. These silly things that let people spew their typed word vomit all over the internet, available for billions of people to digest. Makes me hungry.

Then I notice a few friends -- ones whose blogs I wouldn't mind reading. (Hm, that suggests I cannot, which kinda lets the cat out of the bag here. Shit.) They post their tasty word vomit on myspace... on a private profile. Wow, thanks, but sharing your literature in the awkward realm between free and open web logs and personal emails makes me feel... awkward.

I can live with friends leaving awkward word vomit all across the internet. We have nifty mops and buckets and other ways to clean up that sort of thing. What kicks me in the right nut is that these are the people who write complete nonsense in their blogs. Like nonsense in the way that's more nonsensical than the worthless lost impetus of my consciousness here. (Note to self: drink less beer before typing word vomit on internet.)

So that's my peeve. People, what's the point of a private blog if all you type about is the latest viral video?

(Don't get me wrong -- these videos are great. I just want you to share them and your thoughts.)

Oh, and speaking of great vids:
