The Weirdos of the World

So I decided to look around some of the other blogs on this "Blogger" thing.

Let's break this experience down point by point:

1. There are a bunch of blogs out there, but you probably knew that.

2. There are a bunch of weirdos out there, but you probably knew that as well. Seriously, if you ever find yourself becoming quasi-delusional and thinking that you've met every weirdo there is to meet then you should just search through some blogs.

3. Are people really interested in some of that stuff? There was one blog, no kidding, where a guy gave music reviews. Ok, that's not terribly weird. The weird thing is that he had gone out and purchased thousands of CD's and was doing reviews on them one by one. Even weirder, he had organized the CD's into THE LENGTH OF THEIR CONTENT. For example, one CD has songs whose combined length totals 2 hrs. He would listen to that one before he would listen to one whose combined length totals 1 hr. OOOOOOO K. There are other blogs on insects and other mundane topics that would force me to eat Grape Nuts from a slingshot before spending 5 minutes reading through them.

4. You can guess that there's also some stuff out there you wouldn't want your kids looking at. This brings up another point.

5. I stumbled on this blog written by a (supposedly...all things supposedly) 26 year old girl who blogs about being an "over educated nympho". Granted, "she" is really probably a 56 year old tranvestite sitting in a San Francisco Starbucks, but I digress. People write things on blogs that you KNOW they don't want out there for public consumption....that is to say, consumption by the public that KNOWS WHO THEY ARE. I "selflessly" read through a couple of posts on this girl's blog and there's no way she starts conversations with coworkers by saying, "Hey, you should check out my blog!"...at least not if she wants to keep that job very long. Then again, maybe that would HELP her keep her job in some places. I don't know.

This brings up a couple of ideas in my head.

My roommate in college used to say that there needs to be a people hunting day. On people hunting day we would all get a license to go out and shoot those people who are complete, unadulterated idiots, weirdos, etc... If people hunting day were a reality, there wouldn't be many bloggers left.

This brings me to another point:

We've all heard the saying, "It takes all kinds". Well, it must take all kinds b/c otherwise natural selection would have weeded out some of these folks a looooooooooong time ago.
