Something Serious.

Have you noticed that it seems like everybody has a blog? And have you ever asked yourself : Do all these people really have something interesting to say?
I'd like to take a minute to talk about something that is affecting millions of people accross the globe. It's an ailment that affects most people who start a blog for the sole purpose of telling people which is the best Harry Potter book. After a while they realize one of two things: 1. They're not as funny as they think they are; and 2. If Stephanie Meyer is ever going to ask them to help write a book they had better make their blog more entertaining. This realization leads people to try things for the sole purpose of having something to put on their blog.
This condition is something that is called "Bloggers Itch". Next time you go fishing or sledding, run a marathon or watch a bike race. I want you to ask yourself "How many of these people are doing this just so they have something to write on their blog?" Now blogs, in and of themselves, are great; it is a great way to keep in touch with people around the world. We love looking at other people's blogs to see what their up to; but there's nothing worse than looking up a friend and finding the headline "I joined a bowling team!".
But if you have ever thought about eating cow stomach, taking a picture and putting it on your blog then it may be time to hang it up.
In conclusion, I would like to thank the group of people that, after I had sat in line for 25 minutes at Aaron Taylor's wedding, thought it would be OK to cut in line in front of me (they didn't even have a gift); I think it's totally great that they can live their life and not worry about other people's feelings (Way to be!!).
