The Trouble with Blogging.

Do you know, there are some really fascinating people out there in the blogosphere. Which I suppose is another way of saying there are some fascinating people out there in the world. But that’s the problem: ‘out there in the world’ is a long way away, and blogging doesn’t allow you to reach out, prod somebody’s arm and ask ‘Are you real?’ Does it? No.

What you can do, of course, is go onto their blog and leave a comment, like ‘Awesome!’ But then you’d want to shoot yourself, wouldn’t you? Or you can make a very intelligent, considered comment which would be bound to sound pretentious, and the desire to shoot oneself would be delayed by approximately twenty four hours – just until you re-read the comment and think ‘Shit! Did I write that?’

Nil Desperandum! You go onto the blog anyway, and what do you find? Their last post was made on 25th July 2008. They gave up blogging.

Oh well...
