Public Diary: No Waaaayy....?

Some days ago, my girl friend and I were talking about blogs. Then another guy friend jumped into the conversation and said that he thinks blogging is just a stupid thing and people should stop doing this stupidity. Internet is so crowded already. Why would someone writes about his daily activities, what music he likes, what movie he watched last week, etc. Nobody fu**ing cares about those fu**ing stuffs. He hates publication and he can't understand why people would publish themselves in the internet in that kind of way. As far as I know, the only self-publication-tool he uses is Facebook. But he regularly delete his wall contents, doesn't put any information about himself except his name and where he comes from, and doesn't have any single picture of him at all. Oh yes, he is very protective about keeping everything private.

Well, because I'm one of the bloggers who likes to write these fu**ing stupid kind of stuffs, I think I need to stand up and defend my people.

Why do you think bloggers should stop writing about their daily activities? I think people DO like to read these stuffs about other people's lives. Every novel and all movies are all about other people's lives too, don't you think?

Say it’s Harry Potter. If you are one of Harry Potter’s fans, admit it that you like to read his daily life in school, his first romance experience etc. etc. Yeah, ok..ok… his daily life is interesting because he’s an orphan, he meets goblins, talks to giant tarantula and rides dragon. Much more interesting than my boring story about writing blogs on the weekend before meeting with some friends to release the pain of the tiring weekdays. Boring!

OK, so you don't like to read boring stuffs. Then lets say, you went to a theater and picked a random movie and it turned out to be ugly as hell. What’s the different with coming across a bad blog?

Nobody will ever say stop the film industry just because they watched 90 bad movies. Nobody can stop the telenovelas and soap operas running on television too. They have their own fanatic fans, no matter how shitty the stories are.

But, hey! Still, you are reading about someone’s daily activity. What do you wanna get from it?

Do you want to be like the hero in the story? Are you imagining what your life would be like if you experience the same thing? Do you take the good moral of each story? Or do you just watch and read and forget everything right after you finished with it?

Anyway, making films, inditing novels or composing blogs are just some ways to express one’s creativity. No matter if it's a true story, a lie, or an imagination. If it turns out as a bad creation, then it is just a part of the process to become good. So I’d say keep on writing what’s on our mind. Keep on blogging. Who cares about the crowded internet… It’s better than letting it empty.

If you even watch Big Brothers, then I suppose you won’t mind reading a nonsense blog like this one :D


Thanks for reading!
