why blogs suck

I read a lot of blogs.  I read more than what I have listed on my blog here.  I have bloglines and the amount of blogs I read in a day is astounding sometimes.  I do however delete people that begin to agitate me as I see no point in allowing strangers to agitate me.  I also do not find my blog is astounding, especially as of recently (ie: inject college = removal of time to vent).  I believe my blog was a wonderiffic train wreck of a read back in the 2001-2002 era.  I have often found myself in the shower wondering if I should just close up shop, but then I remember how my blog assisted me to survive when life was nearly suicidal daily.  I’m grateful for Diaryland for housing those years as occasionally I pop over there and gaze as the horror that was my freak show life at that time and I’m enamored with my current life even more so.  It’s easy for me to forget those times, even though I have the scars to prove they truly happened.  However, I realize that I may have been quilty of any of the following at some point in my blogging years (especially since this month marks my 7^th blogiversary).

I also don’t write to make money (I refuse to place ad’s on my blog), to please or appease anyone else, nor to make friends (oh but it’s nice when it happens….), or to entertain anyone.  If I was entertaining, I’d have more readers perhaps.

Having said all of this I’m about to brain dump about the things I hate about the internet and especially blogging.  I’m sure this will piss people off, but as always I don’t care. I never started a blog to make other people happy.

Things I hate about blogs (ie: reasons I remove people from my reading list)

1. Always Blogging about your spouse as though you never fight and he/she is perfect (*cough* bullshit!)
2. Bloggers who complain about their finances yet post g’zillions of pictures on their blog showing me the reader all the things they buy.
3. Bloggers who use their blog as their sole income.
4. Stay at home mom’s who complain about their husband’s long hours. (Stupid bitch, your man is out earning your keep!)
5. Bloggers who don’t use spell check. (huked on fonix’s wurked not 4 u’s)
6. Bloggers who refer to their boyfriend or girlfriends family as their mother in law, niece, nephew etc. (HULLO you’re not married to her/him!!)
7. Bloggers who never admit to their own downfalls, struggles, etc. (It’s NOT always someone else’s fault.
8. Bloggers who pay their bills solely from the shit they make up and write about online.
9. Bloggers who admit they make shit up when they eventually write their book they try to cram down our throats via the free advertisement that is the Internet.
10. Bloggers who get a book deal and then stop keeping a blog.
11. Bloggers who write shitty books. (There are writers and there are bloggers and the two are not always one and the same) *note I could provide a long list of shitty blog to books I’ve read.  I’m of the opinion that blog’s are blogs and they do not translate well as books that come across as diaries.
12. Bloggers who write shitty books that are mere carbon copies of blog entries. (THAT is not a book…it’s a BLOOK…call it what it is please!)
13. Bloggers that post pictures of their animals..and that’s all the entire blog is, call it a dogblog or pussblog so we all know..thanks!
14. Bloggers that complain about their children being a pain in the ass. (God I hate you people….truly I do!)  You weren’t blessed with children just so you had more possessions in life.  Children require blood sweat and tears….give it to them.  Some people would give their left arm to just have children!! 
15. Mommy bloggers.  I’m referring to those that have what I term as the “BABYBLOG”  just call it that so we know.  I love to hear about people’s children, but there’s a line….if you’re the type of person that has no life and talks only of your children 24/7 then you are a babyblogger or kidblogger.  I love my son, but I have a life too.  Call it a babyblog up there in the big header…so I can avoid you…mmkay.  Thanks!  Oh by the way, if you’re kid is walking AND TALKING he/she shouldn’t still have a bottle hanging out of his/her mouth and same goes for the pacifier….who’s in charge there?  The kid or you?
16. Book blogs that never speak about books, but instead speak about other things.  Let’s all categorize ourselves properly, I don’t want to spend weeks hoping for book news and find out that all I’m going to see is Fluffy the cat and your garden pictures.  It’s like reading a bad book waiting for it to get better.  No thanks.
17. Blogs where people never pee, poop, get sick, have distress, fight, argue, etc.  That’s just not normal.  Painting a picture of the perfect life all the time is just…well I’m not buying the shit you’re trying to sell me.
18. I hate blogs that are broken (fix your blog shit….if you’re curtain rod was broken and I came to visit you in your house I’d tell you to fix that too!) in places.  If I can’t get to your archives and it’s a persistent thing…fix that shit or I’m deleting you.
19. Blogs whereby the owner trys to pretend to be thin and/or younger than they are.  Please just be yourself, I might like you better than who you think you should be to please the damn Internet.
20. Blogs that are boring. I don’t care what you ate for breakfast unless you’re a diet blog or your breakfast contents are leading somewhere.

Having said all of this…these are just my opinions and I think all Bloggers should just do what they damned well please.  However, I will read who I damned well want to too.  These are just the things that make me delete what I read daily.   Why do you read my blog daily?  Tomorrow I’ll tell you why I LOVE blogs.
