Next Blog

Jun 25th, 2005 by Monique

Curiosity finally got the better of me, so tonight I tried playing around with the “Next Blog” feature (handily located at the top of this page) to see if I could find anything interesting to read in the blogosphere. Mostly what I found was advertising, spam, and foreign languages. Plus a little porn (yikes!) and a few political blogs, which don’t interest me at all. I also saw blogs devoted to hobbies, families, religion, and some very excruciatingly detailed accounts of daily activities, mostly from students and young single people. You do NOT want to know what is in the heads of some people—some of it is way too personal and I moved on quickly for fear of violating the privacy of total strangers. I’m not really sure what I was looking for, but I didn’t find it. It’s interesting to see what some people write about, but I had to click through so much junk to find anything reasonably witty or well-written that I’m not likely to try it again any time soon. I’ll just keep reading the blogs of friends and writing here in my own little corner of the Internet, even if I am the only one who is interested in what I have to say.

I’m interested in what you have to say! I tried the “next blog”
thing a couple of times and didn’t find anything interesting either. I
wonder how many people actually do use that feature?

Um, don’t you think that there is someone out there who reads this and thinks the exact same thing???

Hey, if YOU are still reading, I can’t possibly be THAT boring. But
yes, I suppose there must be people out there who don’t find me
fantastically interesting. Thanks for bursting my bubble.
