Blogging - part 2
This is in response to Winston's comments. It was turning into a long reply, so I figured I might as well post it as a new entry.
One purpose of a blog is for people to rant, I guess. If people have a decent rant, let's hear it. Though I still feel that blogs should be educational and informative. (which your blog, Winston, certainly is)
I have a problem with adults copying immature adolescent behavior and thinking that it's perfectly fine. ( I'm not talking about wanting to stay vital and active throughout your life.)
Who started the trend that blogs were for divulging personal information? I suppose it was a young person, because that's typical immature behavior for them. It's NOT normal behavior for an adult. That's my point. When I come across a blog written by an adult who is revealing all sorts of personal information about themsleves and their relationships, it a red flag that the author is mentally unstable and I move on. It's crossed the bounds of being a normal rant.
[btw - I don't understand the Twitter phenom either. If it's being used to spread a news story or educate in some way, fine. And if you're a 17 yr old wanting to keep in touch with your friends to let them know that you're going to Dairy Queen later, well, okay, I can understand that.
But if you're an adult and feel you need to post your daily activities on Twitter, there's something wrong with that].
This is all a sad reflection of society today, and its decline.
We expect children & adolescents and 20-somethings to be self involved and think the world cares about their lives. IOW - Narcissism is kind of normal in young people. But as people mature, they realize that it's a big world out there and they aren't the center of the universe anymore. It's what being emotionally mature is all about.
When people over the age of 30 are still so self-absorbed that they have a need or desire to tell the world about their personal day to day life expecting some kind of sympathetic response from strangers, it's pathological (btw-part of the definiton of narcissism is: "requiring excessive admiration, adulation, attention & affirmation" ; "constantly envious of others") and if this becomes a more common and accepted practice in society, we're in trouble, not just as a society, but a civilization.

I think you should first understand the nature of social networks like Twitter, facebook, orkut or myspace. These are exactly around for people to vent and talk about their silly lives. I don't see any thing wrong with that. I may not like it and I stay away from it but thats what they are for.
Yes, I know what they're for.
If the people using them are high school or college age, fine.
If older adults are using them to get work or educate or inform or even be creative, I'll accept that.
But an adult who thinks that a public blog or social network is a proper place to repeatedly vent about & reveal personal aspects of their life & relationships to strangers, is an unstable, immature, mentally unbalanced individual. Honestly, if they were told that and referred to a therapist, they'd probably be better off.
maybe she doesnt have any one to talk to. Take it easy man!
Most of these people talk about going out with their friends, so they have people to talk to.
As I stated before, this is pathological behavior - it's not enough for them to tell their friends, they have to tell strangers on the internet & they look forward to the attention and sympathetic responses.
It's just another group of sick people on the web to be avoided.

So I went ahead and splurged -- bought myself a [url=http://www.ordio.com.au/products/Fatman-iTube-ValveDock-Carbon-Edition-2.html]Fatman iTube Valvedock Carbon[/url] and I've got to say I am extremely pleased. I actually listened to one at a friend's house several months back and just couldn't get that sound out of my head because it blew me away. I searched online everywhere for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I phoned them first and asked a bunch of questions and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and bought it. Dispatch was surprisingly fast. Everything was as it should be. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they dispatch outside of Oz but you won't be sorry if they do.
Best accessory I could have bought...
Nate
