Blogs in Space!

There's been a lot of rumors floating around recently about blogs and bloggers.

Will our cracker-loving Gerish start a blog? Will MomJumper cut his hair? Will the staff of Wogan's Heroes be banned from the internets?

I for one see all this speculation as an opportunity to gamble.

Anyone want to put some money on how long it will take The Gerish to start a blog? I'm thinking 27 days.

As for the MomJumper's hair, I'm guessing it won't see a pair of scissors until he stops thinking he looks like Thor or Willem Dafoe in Boondock Saints.... So let's not clue him in yet. I'm still having fun.

Who wants to join my betting pool? Maybe we can start some kind of fantasy blogging team. I'll take Joe Blundo, or perhaps a better choice would be the big C.

Clearly the author of this book being reviewed is very intelligent. In fact he's expressing my feelings on the internet ruining society and dumbing down humans, but in a much more pleasant sounding way.
I completely agree with his assessment on bloggers bringing down the media, with free information that's unreliable.
I may not share his views on Wikipedia (it is fun to surf), but the fact that it is done by amateurs and is the reflection of misinformation does not escape me.
I guess it's time to launch my plan for taking down the internet.

They say our world has lost its finesse

And I think they may be right.

Day two of sitting here, waiting on others and fighting terrible feelings of impotency. I can feel myself getting dumber each minute I stare at the computer....

I'd like to start a conversation but my small-talk skills are lacking and as pointed out during lunch this week, blogging takes away all conversation.

I have no fun stories to tell because I've told them all on my blog. I can't be funny because it takes all my wit to craft each blog.

So I come to the only acceptable conclusion-- the internets is ruining society!

Every day conversations are numbed down to a paragraph-long blog post. Cheerful exchanges are trimmed to a quick e-mail.

Why walk across the office when you can just type out a few words?

The internets is exposing the lazy disposition of humans with the ease of clicking, and sucking out our souls with each gaze at wide-screen illumination.

I may sound like a lunatic, but when the Terminator saves you from Robert Patrick, you'll see that I'm wise beyond years. The internets is lulling us into a brain dead life of drudgery.

Trust me, the Apocalypse is a-comin' and the internets is three out of the four horsemen.

The other is Cracker Barrel.

I'm kind of a big thing

Before Weds/Thurs lunch today I never really wrapped my head around how big blogs are (yes, another epiphany from my dumb ass).
Talk of what's on whose blog took at least five minutes of lunch today, and in a crowd whose lunch time talk ranges from zombies to the minivan (don't ask), that's pretty damn good. While waiting for calls back today I ripped through the who's who of blogs and I could have spent five more hours if my eyes hadn't been burned by my computer screen.
And I never knew other people read the drivel I post every day.
With that said, I'd like to apologize and pledge to start posting on riveting, politically relevant topics. The future of this blog will cover important, breaking news and I hope to soon add a Vodcast.

Who am I kidding? We all know I don't have that kind of attention span.
