Epic Failure by the Others

today and yesterday i heard about my friend having blogs also. plus, today i heard some unexpected news about friends actually keeping track of my blog. not only have they read mine but my girlfriend's blog as well. i felt somewhat violated and vulnerable. it's ok to get comments online, but talking face to face discussing about blog entries i have made is too much. didn't think i would react that way. for a moment there i surprised myself.
so, there i was, feeling complimented and being stripped from privacy at the same time, thinking "why don't i ever read anyone's blog? why do i expect other people to pay attention to me, if i don't do the same thing myself?" so i went on a search for interesting blogs. clicked the "next blog" button up there for almost 20 times before something in english popped up. it was a religious guy talking about a campsite somewhere in the edge of a forest. had pictures of little kids and puppies there. it scared me, to say the least. am i that boring too? to i show myself as a pervert or a freak of sorts? "hi! my name is bob! i'm from kentucky. i like chicken nuggets, kids and cute lil' puppies"... "what now?"
still shocked by the encounter i surfed on to find something interesting in this god forsaken website. after 13 blogs with "finito seniorita gonzales tenguito eduaro el paso neminio ferlinda ela fiesta sombrero tequila cahones bla bla bla" in its contents i found a blog of a girl who was interested in photography. had many pictures. some of them good. most sucked. she was probably studying it somewhere but i didn't read much cuz i got bored right away (come to think about it, not sure if she was a girl?! ... whatever). confused and disoriented, i returned to my "still quite fresh sweet blog" which i can proudly call home. it feels cosy and secure. don't you think?
