blogging is either the ultimate arrogance or the ultimate desparation. i cannot decide.
arrogance coz you write something and assume people want to read it and will tell you what they think - as if your opinion counts for shit! mine in this case. or desparation - nobody listens to you in real life and you want, wish people to listen to you in cyberspace. or just hope in vain.
im not sure which category i fall in. could be both, or may be i just like the sound of my own voice; there is something supremely gratifying in knowing that my opinions are there for anybody to read, whether anybody actually reads it or not.
nobody has posted any comments yet but i started blogging only yesterday, so im not too heartbroken.
How about ultimate indifference huh?
ReplyDeleteI think I will do the honours. Welcome meera. I started jus a day before you did.
ReplyDeleteThere is more to it than arrogance and desperation. You have to understand that not everyone is as busy as you or me in life. What else will they do? ;-).
I learnt something today. "Woodhouse" huh.
And " say it to yourself people - fuck me, fuck you". How comforatble were you saying that to yourself lady. I do agree with the fact that its hyped. Ana idhu ellam romba over.
Now w.r.t "boring". The dictionary also sayz: The act of drilling a hole in the earth in the hope of producing petroleum. The word here is "petroleum". So from another perspective, the more boring something gets, don't forget...the more it has to offer. Hehehehe. Don't you feel like calling me "socrates"?
Welcome to the club.
Now its ur turn. "2minutedoodles.blogspot.com"
@ musafir -
ReplyDeleteindifference toward people who read it? or "i dont care whether ne1 reads it or not? 1st case - possible. 2nd case - why post it on the net then?
@ kripa -
it was not intended to be literal. i just meant that just saying something like that makes no diff. esp since that word has pretty much lost any significance at all.
socrates? yeah rite - you are soo bored you are going to make petroleum from what??
hey you, id say desperation. with me it was boredom, pure and simple. and then ann arbor happened and i stopped blogging. over the past week though, i have had more time than ever (coz i had exams last week) and so i resumed active blogging. i blog for myself though, which is why i havent told anyone i have a blog. ive now told you though.
ReplyDeleteim not leaving my name, am assuming you might know who would have ever started a blog out of boredom, for purely selfish reasons, and who likes blogging when theres studying to be done. ther you go meera, take a coupla guesses.
ReplyDeletemeera, i have something to point out...ur about me thing...it sez i love writing tho i dont like people reading my stuff...then whats with the whole nobodys commenting on my blog thing? dont contradict urslf girl!
ReplyDelete@ oye anonymous, what date are you in chennai? and abt that "why is nobosy reading my blog" thing, i could go the oprah way and say "i need recognition", "i dont like being ignored" and all that, but nah, i just want to know if someone is reading this crap.
