Nay ... not my type ....

I always used to tell myself that I am not gonna write about the daily mundane occurrences happening in my life.
Firstly, everyone does that and there would be nothing new or different that I would be opining about. Secondly my life isn't very interesting to write about, in fact, it is as boring as it can get.
(but most importantly this is not the place where I would like to honestly tell what I honestly think)
But thats the whole point of blogging people tell me(Who told me? Don't ask me) Its just about describing each & every situation you encounter in your own way. You don't necessarily have to be the guy to whom things happen, you can be some nondescript guy doing something nondescript but ultimately you must bring out the it-happened-to-me (and even the i-wish-it-happened-to-me) in an over-the-top exaggerated manner (lets include the it-never-happened-to-me-but-you-wouldn't-know incidents also into this). It is all about cribbing about anything and everything that happens to you, complaining about some people (all people), bringing out emotions which one wouldn't dare to do in reality, use the first alphabets of the names of people to protect their identity, use superbly funny abbreviations and some found-only-in-blogs words like “whatisitsname” when you actually bloody don't know “What is its name?”, twist and turn the words of the English language in any way you wish coz the only aim is to bring out your intended meaning at the expense of the language.
The one attribute that stands out glaringly in all these blogs and that which makes me to hate these blogsters (see I invented a word right there) all the more is the I dont give a damn attitude (the synonyms being Devil may care attitude, I am who I am attitude etc etc). Well if they didn't give a damn they wouldn't have to be writing a blog in the first place. Anyway let me consider that they actually dont give a damn and they do blog for various whatever reasons, but all that they try to show is that they dont give a damn. Hypocrites of the highest order is too mild a phrase to describe them. Well if all this bothered you then you can be assured that you DO give a damn.
I somehow always felt that mine would be just-another-web-log if I wrote about such stuff and just now I have had an Eureka moment that mine is very much just-another-web-log.

first of all language is used to express oneself, grammar is something which is what u refer to. "whatisitsname" .... i would suggest u read more.
Using names just to show that u don't care is wrong. One should respect one's privacy.
Hypocrite is a heavy word.
