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....

Yea yea, I dropped out of college touche. -
One word Taylor: Wa. -
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. -
ok the lyric thing was because i was tired of writing everything else you talked about above. enjoyed lunch today!!! -
Hey man... you are SO not done with pleo. Save yourself the trouble and don't be a liah. -
This sounds a lot like a number 5. Like a hard breakup number 5. Sorry to hear it. -
Are you really quiting this...I mean come on I just got one of these things and I was gonna add you to my friends list and all... -
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 hate blogs that taytay writes...no wait, i love them. i earnestly desire for you -
Who is this? -
bitter??? -
You need an update, young man! We BGers need to keep up with you SOMEhow! What's going on in your life?? Tell me bout Anna! -
tay, you're silly. almost stopped read'n your post b/c i couldn't take the numbered reasons!! then i decided to tough it out -
taylor beckham? this is andrea c from cason lane eons ago -
Taylor...Marshall Reid here. Looks like you might not check this out for awhile, but figured I'd say hello anyway. I'm a newbie here and trying to find people. We'll be down for Lectures, so hope to see ya then! -
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. -
you just wish you were cool enough to be able to say some of that...you're jealous....but i like the beard. -
update -
So basically... you hate blogs?? -
I agreed with most of it, but don't quit pleo, just drop by occasionally.... I don't know who you are...... goodbye.....
