... and it was about how everyone and their mother has a blog about something. The post went on to say that people even talking about themselves for more than a paragraph is self righteous and leads people to believe you think you are more important than you really are. It also stated how most blogs are unnecessary and unimportant.
MY OPINION?
I don't know about anyone else's blog but my own, and the message I'm trying to convey on it. Mine is not a diary, yet I will occasionally make reference to myself and my life. I don't really like to be personal or public though, so It will be quite vague. Which means that only if you know me in real life, will you understand what the fuck I'm talking about.
It's not a "News" diary because we honestly have enough blogs covering the same "hip-hop lifestyle" news of the day. If I want to comment on something someone has already covered, I usually just post a comment on the original post, on their blog.
If it's something music related and new; I only cover something I haven't seen on any of my friends blogs or something I want look at in my own view and describe in my own way. Yet I always pay homage to were the original came from.
Look, blogs are just where people state what's on their minds. So if it's being up to date, then they'll be on top of the game. If it's gossip they'll have that also. If they're introspected, it'll be about them. Either way, if you don't like what your reading, there is an X button on top of your window. Don't hate, write your own fucking blog about it, and if it's not good, trust that no one will flock to it. If it is, you'll have your original fans, and maybe it'll go mainstream eventually.
My blog is honestly just an extension of everything I ever put into my MySpace page that I never had a chance to really go into. It's also a mash up of everything I see and hear and feel on the daily. I also feel it's a little dose of something real in our "reality" obsessed world. Look, it's whatever, if your here and reading it, then thanks, your the shit. If not, no problem it's not for you & that's cool. Don't want you here anyway, it's more just an outlet for my over crowded brain.

...and now you know why in my first blog post I admitted to being the "anti-blog". Yes everyone has one, nothing is original under the sun, some are good, some are wack, most are wack, dont like it, dont read it. that simple. Writing about how too many people have blogs and you hate it means you probably take the internet a bit too serious and can't function a day w/o a computer.
All things are subject to interpretation...whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.
