I see what you did there


They say that with any new blog you need certain things that make it stand out from the millions of others on the web. So what makes your blog an island of truth and relevance in an ocean of lies and porn? Well that comes down to personal choice. First you need a topic to write about, and preferably one that is close to the heart. If you are a murderous sociopath that would like to share their cutting techniques with the world, then that is what you should write about and expect a visit from the local law enforcement agencies about. The next is you need to provide something that no one else can provide. A talking dog comes to mind, but since that husky on YouTube has stolen the spot light, I am pretty sure that almost every idea has been thought of, faked, and posted on the web with a ridicules amount of followers trying to take a moment out of their miserable lives by watching it. Let’s face it if you rummage through the piles of stupidity the internet mainly consists of, to find real life pokemon (that everyone else can see is a cat and its owners need to be arrested for painting a cat yellow), then you need to rethink your life.

So what makes me stand out? To be honest, not much. Think of me as the ranting Swed from that sheep in the big city cartoon where I will complain too much, and to my heart’s content about everything and anything. Expect I don’t have an annoying voice or an obviously brain tumor causing my head to be explaining large.   If you feel this is the wrong attitude to have in this life, then that is your own opinion which I respect. We live in a day and age where to have one’s own opinion and be able to share it openly is something to celebrate and by celebrate I mean sit in front of a PC for 8 hours a day complaining about the new World of Warcraft expansion because the Elves ears are just to pointy and therefore hard to replicate at the next Blizzcon. I feel if you expect things to be shit and that people will let you down, then when they are or do, you are left don’t feeling disappoint, and you get to say “I told you so!” in that smug voice that makes people want to hit you in the face with a chair.

“But Dubu you ridiculously hairy man, aren't you being a bit hypocritical?” Frankly yes and that oddly is my point. The internet has given us such amazing power but as Spider-man keeps nagging about, “With great power, comes great responsibility”. As the ones defining the internet and its uses, we must make sure that the contents are those thought stimulating and interesting topic and the content that isn't is kept in the dark pits of the internet that you climbing gear and a flash light to find. We should teach the correct ways of using the internet and show people the good and bad parts of it ensuring both the advantages and disadvantages are clearly described and understood.


So like my blog, don’t like it. Find it interesting or spill your coffee due to its unreasonable nature, I don’t care. I am writing because I can and I feel that I should. Call me what you will, I have probably been called worse and that is your opinion which as previously stated I respect, besides if you truly felt I crossed a line and wanted to do something about it, you would have to tear yourself away from your computer screen, which let’s face it, isn't going to happen until you stop masturbating.
