Just Stop It.

Ok. Here's the deal. I was just thinking about this weekend as I looked at all the blogs of friends that I have bookmarked. I saw something that reminded me of so many comments I have heard about other blogs....basically everyone is worried that their blog isn't original enough, entertaining enough or whatever. People read others' blogs and critique them as if they were a term paper or a book. It's ridiculous. They talk about how much they hate some peoples' blogs or how much they just complain or talk about stupid pointless things. Here's an idea- you don't like it? DON'T READ IT. No one is holding you at gunpoint to make you read their livejournal, blogspot, xanga, or whatever else there is out there. No one should have to pass your approval to post their point of view, complaints, praise, random ramblings, thoughts or how their day went. If you don't think it is worth reading, don't. And if you think it's stupid what they wrote, then don't put it into your brain by continuing to go back to that blog and reading it's updates. JUST STOP IT. You don't like people complaining on their blogs? you don't have to see it. But we don't have that luxury of just shutting you up when we don't want to hear YOUR complaints. We can't close you like a tab or window on the internet. If you don't like reading people's complaints on their blogs or anything else about their day or thoughts, then maybe you shouldn't share those things with people ever at all either. Just an idea. It's just a blog. Get over it.
