Blogger, blogger, come out and play! Blogger, blogger, what you have to say?!

So. TT's comment made me think- what is my blog for? So, I went to a bunch of blogs and categorised them. In fact, I did something completely forbidden at my so PC peaceloveandunderstanding job. I boxed and stereotyped people!!! Oh, and I'm really excited about it and don't think I will go to hell for it. (I will go to hell for being Jewish and everyone who watches South Park and/or listens to Mel Gibson knows that)

So, types of bloggers:

Those that keep friends and family informed about their travels:
Example: the wannabe cool hippie (but in fact a totally uncool - still hippie:
"Oh man, I've just came back from Abkhazia, and it's not a country, but in fact it is and the people who live there are cool, 'cause they grow all sorts of stuff and they are happy, although they don't have a country, except they do, you know what i mean man?"
Errr, no, we don't know what you mean, we will rather go and watch Michael Palin climb the Himalayas. Next!!!

The political blogger:
Usually, with a zillion links to political sites, I will eat my shorts if there is one that doesn't include a link to either www.freetibet.burma.palestine.org or a www.god.is.so.cool.org or a www.secularismrules.com or ... basically, a www.iamright.youarewrong.org (or was it www.screwyouropionion.com?)

The diary blogger:
"...yesterday I dreamt that a giant moon swallowed the Earth and I totally think it symbolises... " Yes. Of course it symbolises whatever you want it to be. It's your dream, leave us out.
Oh and what you did yesterday? Nope, checked with others- we don't care!

The philosophical blogger: just like the political, but there is a question mark at the end of each political statement (you coward). Less links.

The artsy blogger: well, let's see. the film lover: Loads of pictures of naked men (ok, some of us know who that is) from various movies. The particular blogger put up a comment recently: "i saw loads of visitors on my site for a long time, some from different countries, yet, none of them left a comment". hmmm.... dear oh dear. Someone talk to the boy. Please don't forget that part about 'losing innocence' and of course 'never accept sweets from strangers, especially if they lay a path with candy to the nearest public toilet'.

There are waaay more categories, but I'm done picking on people, I had my fun for the day! (who said you can't have fun with clothes on?) But one last category:

The real bloggers.
People who cannot express themselves in real life and have to resort to the virtual because they are afraid. Of being judged, sometimes not in a literally sense- i.e. freedom of speech is still limited to some parts of the world- while others are scared of being judged by their peers/relatives.. for what they say, when they say it and how they say it. Either because they think no one understands them (most of the time they are right- we don't understand you!) or they have a Jewish mother, in which case, not even a blog will help you, you're doomed.

I don't know what kind will my blog be. I will try to make it reflect my life here and now. For me. for later.

Oh dear. I found myself in a category. Writing because one cannot express oneself in real life? Check. Fear of being judged? Check. Oh dear.... Go decline, go!
