Dan’s reply from my previous post is infact not a disagreement from my point of view. Under my logic he is infact agreeing with me. I’ll use an example:  my funny story from yesterday is that we managed to lose our (dodgeball) playoff
game yesterday by a mere 3 points. I did happen to jam my thumb trying to catch a ball , that continues to throb today – but it was a really close game considering it was the third time we played this team and we were missing Robin, Cartman, and Erin.

This light story about losing I consider examples of common misadventures. It doesnt talk about the raging machine that was punishing people with the ball – so much so that one of the girls had to leave the room in a bit of pain (I didn’t see this at the time due to icing my hand). Also missed from the story was the dispair of someone not wanting to be video’d while i was taping.

So yes Rose Coloured Glasses are the common thing for blogging… that and as Mona pointed out with all the kids on livejournal desperate attempts at making people feel sorry for you.

I’m probably being a bit cynical – but my real point was that for most poeple a blog is an external representation of themselves – and it’s going to be written solely in the light they want to be seen – whether thats funny stories, pathetic pleas for attention, businesslike representations of how they’re currently doing with just highlights. In most cases they want attention – either via sympathy or by looking intelligent, cool, athletic etc.

I honestly don’t know where I want to fit in to any of those categories but I do know that when I overhear blogging discussion comments I cringe at how people take that out of context and don’t really understand the person.

At least I seriously hope so because I have relatives with very depressing blogs that I know are just looking for attention…

My cynical self signing off,

R.
