Blog. Ugh. I hate that word. Blog. Blogging. Gross. I wanted to see how much everyone else hated it, so what better place to go than Urban Dictionary? Might as well make fun of myself some more…hah. Here is another conversation sample. Have a good laugh.

Tim: Hey i just set up a blog on my website.
Joe: What have you written in it?
Tim: Oh just some random drivel.
Joe: Sounds like the typical blog.
Tim: Yeah, but plenty of people will still read it, and that will make me feel special.
Joe: That’s sad.
Tim: I know.

Some great ‘blog’ definitions:

1. A recent and disturbing trend on the internet. A blog lets people easily post comments onto a webpage. While blogs have many purposes, some of which can be useful, most people seem to use blogs as a way of having an online diary. These people have such massive egos and are so narcissistic that they believe that other people would be interested in reading their pointless ramblings. Even more disturbing is the fact that many people have such boring lives that they have nothing better to do than to read these stupid online diaries. They just feed the egos of the “bloggers” and encourage them to continue posting nonsense. Hopefully, “blogging” will turn out to be just a fad that passes quickly.

2. Short for weblog. Blogs originally had purpose when the few people who had them actually had interesting and/or informative things to say. These blogs still exist, and are quite enjoyable to read, however the advent of blogger.com and livejournal.com has changed this once meaningful application into utter shit, allowing every day idiots to write about how shitty their lives are and why everyone should care.

3. When somebody pretends to give people advice through uncredited literature and stories. Kind of like pretending to be a professional journalist, but you don’t know what you’re talking about.

4. A rare opportunity to broadcast ones views to the entire world while remaining virtually certain that nobody is listening.

5. A place for those of us (who have a too much free time) to post unnecessary information for others (who also have too much free time) to read. Some of us post relatively interesting information and the occasional joke… but, unfortunately, the vast majority post pure adulterated POO (pardon my “French”). These people give other bloggers a bad name… for everyone else that has a bad name, it’s… pretty much their parents fault.
