I hate blogs and other self indulgent opinion pieces.

Many moons ago I made a vow. I vowed I would never create a personal blog. I vowed I would never post self indulgent tripe on a space dedicated to my own voice. I vowed I would never regurgiate reciprocated information and pass it off as my own. In my head I cling to the idea that the world would be a better place if we all STFU once in a while. Too many opinions paraded around as information. Too much information and data overflow, bogging down society, the individual, for knowledge is power, but a little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing.

Who here shares my sentiments, and no I am not an anti-blogger who is secretly a blogger, or a twitter or a mad hatter. I value silence.

And before anyone tells me to blog it, jump off a cliff and if you still live, then feel free to post that reply. And yes there is irony in this post. Feel free to find it.

Blog it.

I hate to be the proverbial "turd in the punchbowl", but what does "regurgiate" mean?jazzkrotch

Blogging is like a diary. You get things off your chest, like you're doing right now.

...there always has to be a "turd"...

As a person who is usually pretty vocal, one of my teachers once asked me the question why I'm so quiet when she asked the class questions or a discussion is going on. And as a response I said " the quieter I am the more I'm learning". So while I'm not inherently against blogs I do believe that some people need to shut up once in a while and take the time to observe and listen to the world around them.Big_player

You just blogged.Vanadium2k8

wth are you talking aboutsmokingsbad

The only place I have ever blogged is gamespot. and i only blog when i feel like something is worth talking about,plus I occasionally delete them since they are not revalent anymore. Now Ive dedicated my blog to my opinions and happenings in gaming and entertainment.

I get what TC is saying to a degree,I would never tell all to the world. But at the same time there is a simple solution to not liking blogs. Do not read them,problem solved.

Off topic is not a space dedicated to my own voice, it is a public forum meant for adequate discussion. Hoobinator

But people can also comment and discuss things in your blog :)

You seriously didn't catch the irony as you typed that out.funnymario

I agree with the OP. People always wait for their turn to talk, always willing to give up their personal opinion on a subject, instead of initiating in a coversation. Bloging is just a digital extension of this. They can talk on any matter they like without having to stop talking to listen to other opinions. Basically exactly what im doing here, wow im such a hypocritical as**ole Im not moving the conversation along, not responding to anyone in particular, just voiceing my own opinion on the matter.

If you don't like blogs then don't read them or look at them. Problem solved.A1B2C3CAL

Blasphemy, you probably blog on myspace or facebook. soulless4now

Well you pretty much did just blog when you created this thread...soulless4now

You know what forget it.

*Why even bother.*

It's funny how you talk about people shutting up for once but TC, this is your greatest irony. You post in an internet forum!Toriko42

This thread is like an iron in that it is iron-y. zakkro

You obviously have a gamespot blog... !A1B2C3CAL

Well your post is was trivial and asinine. zakkro

Trivial it may well be, in your opinion, asinine it most certainly was not. For it was not silly or stupid or superfluous, it was and still is a decent conversation piece of which a number of others posters have added a few intelligent remarks to. You were not one of them.
