The Blogging spirit

Blogs come in different shapes and sizes. And what you realize at the end of the day is that you dont need a reason to blog. There are carefully edited humorously written witty pieces of shit, Wisely phrased careful words of wisdom just when you absolutely don't need it and absolute brilliance wasted away in blogs.
So here's the deal. You have a witty creative pen. (It's a usage :| ) You have ideas. You have time. Infinite. Unemployed creative is the worst kind of creative. You start blogging. It's like drugs. Feels so good everytime you never realize how addicted to it you are. It gives you a feeling of high for no good reason. You begin to see sense in writing about ants and blackadders (thats a reptile) which, in real life were unworthy of mention or touch. Er.

And every iitian has at least one post pertaining to how life at iit is. This, knowing that in nine cases out of ten his blog's viewers are only other jobless iitians who helped him with his typing.

Bloggers, going the Anne Frank way, get senti all the time. There is always this pain and this agony and all that sort of feeling that finds way into blogs instead of journals or diaries. I won't go so far as to calling it pathetic but gimme a break! I know life is sad and it is devastating to be in love. But you don't need to take to poetry so soon. Those blissfully romantic poems in search of a beautiful noble intelligent rich girl (who for some reason falls for you) is pure phart.

And then there are entries who are just filling space. They are there.

Thats when you realize that a blog is a bog. It is a place where you wrap up the scraps of your crap and where wit becomes shit. Verses become curses and every story gets gory. And having stabbed your heart with wretched phart, blogs leave you to bleed and weed.

That is exactly how blogs fill space. Nothing to write whatsoever about. Where's the journalism or the creativity? Where the hell is all the grammar we learnt in high school? Don't content, coherence and delivery mean anything to us anymore? What on Earth are we (s)hitting on? I think if you stop blogging, you'd just be helping me.

"The Blogging spirit "In my best spirits, I'll say spirit is good for you and me but only in small dosages, too much of it can lead to posts like this :P

" Blogs come in different shapes and sizes. "And colours and levels of humors and with some sense at times. (Though most of the times it ain't there)!

"And what you realize at the end of the day is that you dont need a reason to blog."Oh, yes it talent to speak about nothing. Ever tried a hand at that ?
And yes, yes - the tall grapes are from a sour plant... ;)

" There are carefully edited humorously written witty pieces of shit, Wisely phrased careful words of wisdom just when you absolutely don't need it and absolute brilliance wasted away in blogs."I completely agree with this, but for the parts about wits, wisdom, humor and brilliance.

"So here's the deal. You have a witty creative pen. (It's a usage :| ) You have ideas. You have time. Infinite. Unemployed creative is the worst kind of creative. You start blogging. It's like drugs. Feels so good everytime you never realize how addicted to it you are. It gives you a feeling of high for no good reason. You begin to see sense in writing about ants and blackadders (thats a reptile) which, in real life were unworthy of mention or touch. Er."Blah blah blah,. okay I know you're trying to show how we go on and on and on and on.., no need to give lengthy examples here!

"And every iitian has at least one post pertaining to how life at iit is. This, knowing that in nine cases out of ten his blog's viewers are only other jobless iitians who helped him with his typing."And also that, everyone else who reads it can't make any sense out of it :P
If you are wondering why I talk too much about sense, My blog's tiled "Sense and Nonsense" :)

"Those blissfully romantic poems in search of a beautiful noble intelligent rich girl (who for some reason falls for you) is pure phart."Yes, yesh we all know that, there are not such things as Beautiful-Noble- Intelligent-Rich-Girls, all just a figure of speech. Remember the monkey-person theorm we came up with the other day ? :)

"And then there are entries who are just filling space. They are there."Talking of grammar,. well you knew what, I'm will learning English. I wont tolerating no bad grammar ah.,. so mister mind it :P

"Thats when you realize that a blog is a bog. It is a place where you wrap up the scraps of your crap and where wit becomes shit. Verses become curses and every story gets gory. And having stabbed your heart with wretched phart, blogs leave you to bleed and weed."Mesa shall tolerate no more insults on blogs. Mesa will fight! mesa says blogs no stinkers, and wit if existent will never shift to slimy shit :P
Any hey hold on,. was there a mention about some poetry issue earlier in the post ? ;-)

"That is exactly how blogs fill space. Nothing to write whatsoever about. Where's the journalism or the creativity? "Ever read,, er.. Journals and NewsPapers? I'm pretty sure these things will be out there.
I clearly remember one of the "good" newspapers creatively writing this piece, it was about the English question paper in some +2 board exam it went "...since one of the multiple choice questions had only 2 options instead of 4, students got confused, because of this they lost concentration and because of the loss of concentration, they panicked and ended up not doing well" -> what do you call that ? :P

"Where the hell is all the grammar we learnt in high school? Don't content, coherence and delivery mean anything to us anymore? What on Earth are we (s)hitting on? I think if you stop blogging, you'd just be helping me."
Yes yes yes, Question is why the sudden surge of compassion for English ? that too with overdone Melodrama ? ;) :)

P.S. Interesting post :) Thanks for keeping my blog out of it ;) [Don't expect any treats for that though]
