There are many kinds of pleonast blogs that i despise

1.) Blogs that are nothing more than a list of all the meaningless and boring things a person has done recently. (example: did the dishes) Whoop-dee-do


2.) Blogs that are GIGANTIC paragraphs, which may be filled with interesting info, but they look so long and boring that i'd rather just die than read this novel that the person has set before me. Sorry, i'm just gonna assume the story is boring so that i dont have to risk wasting 5 years reading it.

3.) Blogs that start off by claiming to have a really cool and/or funny story, but after reading it, i discover they lied

4.) Blogs that talk about a boyfriend and/or girlfriend and how amazing this person is and how in love they are with this person. (Most likely they've linked this person's name multiple times throughout the blog.)

5.) Blogs that reveal personal information about relationships. (EXAMPLE 1: Me and Johnny broke up today. I'll always love him, but we just wont ever be. EXAMPLE 2: Me and my wife laid in eachother's arms all day today. It was amazing) Thats great, kill me now.

6.) Blogs that ramble on and on about who-knows-what cause the person is just typing everything that they are thinking that very second, thus creating a LONG string of stupid and pointless thoughts.

7.) Blogs that purposely strike up political or religious debates, when everyone knows that debates online only lead to frustration and everyone misquoting everyone else in an attempt to defend themselves.

8.) Blogs that contain 3 sentence fragments or less, begging me to ask the question why i wasted my time clicking on your name just to see this: "Today was good. Chick-fila. Mmmmmm waffle fries."

9.) Blogs that are song lyrics. Nothing else. Wow, what do i care about the words to a song that you like. If i wanted to read some lyrics, i would have gone to lyrics.com, not your blog.

Anyway, since most blogs i read fall into one of these 9 categories, i respectfully am done with pleo. Peace out.

Love always,
Taylor

PS: If anyone was personally offended by one of these criticisms, write a long blog about it and i'll be sure and read it and consider your amazingly interesting thoughts. i promise....

    Amen to #4 and #5. Why do they think we want to hear all about their love lives? We didn't ask! Don't feel obligated to tell us.

  • jackofhearts
    so when you say youre done, does that mean youre not even going to come back and read these comments, or is this the last blog you will ever read comments on, and if so, how long will you continue looking at pleonast to see if you got new comments? i think youre whole strategy is faulty at its core

    i can't stand ridiculously caustic blogs from people who enjoy getting self-affirmation through belittling the habits of others. i don't even know what i just said. my wife and i are so in love right now, by the way.

Whoa

It just hit me in the middle of Church this morning that the actor who plays Desmond on the hit TV show "LOST" is the same actor who plays Jesus in "The Gospel of John"

----------------------------------------------------------------

Despite what most people might think, "Eight Below" is a pretty good movie. But it also inspires me to mount the head of a leopard seal on my wall. Someday i will have a team of sled dogs
----------------------------------------------------------------
  • firebolt
    glad to know where your mind was during services this morning. lol...j/k. :D i hadn't realized that till now actually...

    by jennaleigh at 09/17/06 4:01PM
  • nickomundo
    I hate the fact that I don't know who Desmond is. I've only fallen like four episodes behind. But I've never seen The Gospel of John either.

It's the year 2006, the United States is the most powerful country of all time, and yet we still dont know the answer to this question:

What's the deal with girls?

We can clone sheep, but we cant quite figure this one out. pathetic

Dont get me wrong, they're awesome, but c'mon, seriously
  • subway
    I ask myself the same question, Taylor. I don't think we'll ever find out. It's one of those "When I get to heaven, I want to ask God..." kind of questions.
