Blogosphere Down

Don't touch that "Next Blog" button.

Stay the fuck away from that thing if you want to stay in the sane space of this messed up cyber-realm. Out of boredom, I've just finished a round tour of the blogosphere, and I must say that it is not what the neocons said it was.

I really don't see "Generic Online Viagra" raising a ruckus about the Gomery Inquiry.
I don't see "Jane Doe's Random Blog #33" critisizing Bush about his recent support for DeLay.

How can the Blogosphere ever get in an uproar, when 1/3 of it is interested only in pr0n and male enhancement, another 1/3 is interested only in "ZOMG, Jilly is fucking Tammi's BOYFRIEND, ROFLMAO!" and the final 1/3 is so politically biased that getting an even-keeled round table discussion with all of them would be similar to having Hitler and Stalin arm-wrestle at a fanboy convention.

On occassion, you might come across some really good Blogs, which is not unusual, as the Law of Averages works, even here. If you are a blogger, I would strongly advise you to make a blogroll for your readers to follow. I only link the highest quality, regularly updated blogs, so if you're clicking something on this site, IMHO, it's a good read (if perhaps, only for select audiences).

On a side note, I'm going for an interview tommorrow to see whether or not I have the right stuff to be the News Editor at the college newspaper for next year. I know, it sounds pretty mickey mouse, but it's a paying position, and it's in my field. I don't know if I'm up for the whole competitive business when I get out of college though... maybe I'll go dig for a position in some place non-profit or government oriented.

It pays.

Unlike your caffeine and tobacco.

Sometimes there are those of uncapped genius who can take their crappy social lives and spin literary gold with it.

And I'll never forgive Jilly for fucking Tammi's boyfriend.
