The inherent problem of Blogging.

I set out to create a good blog. For me, that means one that steers clear of most political or social commentary and whatever raging personal issues I may be having - what I call the wah wah's and the boo hoo's. The problem I face now is that there really isn't much else left that I could write about. It seems for me a "good blog" might actually mean "no blog".

Why avoid the aforementioned content? Well, it all boils down to the same reason that I dislike Oprah. Oprah's real job is brainwashing the insecure people in America. The ones who aren't confident enough to think for themselves, so they blindly adopt the opinions of anyone who is willing to just let his or her opinions spill out. But why should anyone listen to Oprah? Is she some guru of life? Hell NO! The woman doesn't know anything more than the next person. I don't like Oprah because she feeds the emotionally needy with her garbage about good books and how to lose weight and dream journals and how she manages to be best friends with every famous person in Hollywood. Of course, I don't really blame Oprah. I blame the people who love her.

Anyway, for the same reason that no one should listen to Oprah, no one should listen to me either. And that's the inherent problem of blogging. Anyone can write anything. No credibility is required.

That being said, I'll still rant on here. I don't think anyone reads the long entries anyway. Let's just chalk it up to self indulgence.
