Any Other Way

Yesterday after I posted, I decided to see what blog was next. (Click Next Blog» in the silver bar at the top for a random blog.) There are a lot of stupid ones about people's babies and hobbies and stuff, but then you stumble upon something so completely unexpected you just can't take your eyes off of it. After a few minutes of staring in awe at the ridiculousness, I was curious as to why the blog only had one post, so I clicked to view Bob's complete profile. Five blogs? And what's with the titles? It's almost as if the blog titles are the names of posts. ...Dingdingdingding! If you click to Bob's other "blogs", they all only have one post as well. How does this happen??? How can a person know enough about blogging to start a blog and yet not understand what a blog is??? Oh, Bob. *shakes head in dismay* I hope that you are a 60-year-old man using a library computer. If you're not, please give your computer to someone who knows how to use it and save the blogosphere from your complete and utter lack of competency.

I should go back and clarify that a blog about your child is not always stupid. However, there are certain parents that over-obsess. I don't care if you want your children to be the next Olsen twins. That is certainly no reason for me to have to click through four of your completely useless blogs.

blog n. an online diary; a personal chronological log of thoughts published on a Web page; also called Weblog, Web log

This is not a place for you to whore your children. This is not a photo album. If you ever have a thought that's not about your children's profitability, please write it down. Although, that's probably not possible, so just delete your "blogs". That way neither I nor any other non-tween has to accidentally come across one of them ever again.
