Blogged Down

I found the following brief in the most recent edition of Maclean’s magazine,
“Confirming the suspicions of everyone with a life, a University of Calgary academic has found that Internet bloggers are prone to feelings of melancholy and withdrawal. It seems there is a gulf between the bloggers’ self-images as social rebels and the sad reality that they are-in the memorable words of the study’s author-“Don Quixotes tilting at windmills.” Sounds like a recipe for misery, all right but we suspect spending hours alone in front of a computer rather than mixing with living, breathing humans may be playing a role, too. Commence writing your angry cybertirades now, lonely boys.”
Well, here is my cybertirade. Blogging can be and is much better than any other job. First of all, like all jobs, it requires that you spend a few hours every day working and not wasting your time talking with your co-workers about the Reality-TV garbage you watched the night before. One of the best things about blogging is that once you learn how to do it well, it only requires a couple of your hours every day and then you have the rest to socialize with other humans. Only idiots waste their life behind a desk supporting a medium that is outdated.
Thanks for playing!
