First Post

There are a very select number of blogs that I can actually read. And by very select, I mean there are maybe two types of blogs that I can stand without feeling like Jerry Springer on a "Why won't anybody love me" Wednesday. Whenever I actually took the time to sit down and read someones personal feelings, it almost always appears to me as a whiny attempt for someone to make people feel bad for themselves. "Hey none of the people that actually know me in my own life want to be my friend, so you, who I have only met over a broadband connection should be." However, there are other (Thank God) types of blogs or bloggers besides those people (I like to call them wet keyboarders). Many of the larger newspapers in this nation have started to add blogs for their writers, and most of them are a far cry from xxrandomgothfreakxx's blog, who is still complaining that no girls want to go out with him and that he has dreams of setting his cat on fire. The Boston Herald now has bloggers that focus on the Sox, Pats, Celts and Bruins, that give up to date information on what is going on in vast world of Boston area sports. So instead of waiting until tomorrow to find out why the hell Dustin Pedroia is hitting cleanup, we are kept up to date letting us know that Kevin Youkilis is having back spasms. See, that kind of blogging is actually useful. We are provided with some sort of basic information and don't have to wait until tomorrows newspaper. This example shows one of the best uses for something like a blog, providing information to a person in a short period of time. But interestingly enough, in my first blog entry, I did not provide any sort of useful information. Instead I just complained and wined like the people I was complaining about myself.
