Bedtime and Blog Prospects
Posted on June 6, 2008 - Filed Under Blogging, College |
That time, many hours ago, when I should have gone to bed. Instead I stayed up, watched rubbish, ate garbage, and then sat at my laptop, riding the web like a true idiot internaut. I didn’t even have anything to do, and I was in fact rather tired, but I still sat here like a fool, and now it’s morning. Splendid.
I’m sorry I don’t feed you much anymore, dear blog. I don’t know what’s come over me. It seems like we haven’t spent any quality time together since I finished my exams, and while it’s true that I’ve been preoccupied with other matters, that doesn’t feel like the whole story. It’s almost as if I stopped giving you attention as soon as I had nothing much left to procrastinate about.
Futhermore, it appears that the more I read blogs, the less I blog myself. There’s only so much time one can spend reading Sullivan, Douthat, Yglesias et al over at TheAtlantic.com before he starts to regard his own musings as distinctly amateurish and unsophisticated. Hence the surfeit of YouTube videos and pictures.
To put things in a nutshell Mr Blog, your future content/structure and, dare I say, very existence are at this point rather uncertain. Much depends on what I end up doing next year. If I find myself studying medicine, you will probably end your days (before my hold on the domain expires in 2012) as little more than an outlet for my frustrations and, potentially, a vehicle for ill-conceived campaigns of revenge, relying on a middling Google page rank. If I end up doing politics, you’ll probably serve much the same purpose, with a little extra rudimentary, knee-jerk political commentary thrown in. Either way, your prospects suck pretty damn hard.
Night.
