i've been meaning to start an essay on this topic since last week when i first came across a posting in a friend's blog.

we all know how blogs are our online journal, our way of telling the rest of the world how our lives are. but there is no other way of saying this. bloggers are superficial people. they only blog because blogging is the only place they can brag about how lovely their lives are and getting others to envy them because if they were to brag like they do in real life, they would be deemed snobbish and be kicked out of their clique. they only blog because blogging is the only place they can bitch about how sucky their lives are and getting everyone to pity them because if they were to bitch like they do in real life, they would be deemed whiny and be distanced from their comfort group. they only blog because blogging is the only place they can announce their victories to the world and have people congratulate them on their wins because if they were to announce to everyone in real life, they would be deemed egoistic and be categorized with other megalomaniacs.
but when it comes to what really matters, most of us would never use an online journal as popular as blogspot to pour our hearts out, for things that we care deeply for. with your friends and your friends' friends having access to every word you type, one would be more careful with the topics they choose to discuss about in their so-called diary. you can't possibly discuss your budding crush on [A] as there is a very high chance of [A] actually reading your blog and laughing at your stupidity/naivety/sheer dumbness. you can't talk about how cute [B]'s ass is because for all you know, your possessive significant other is keeping tabs on you through this free diary service provided by the kind people of blogger.com.
sure we can have more than one online diary that is not known to anyone else except yourselves--containing posts that are of significance, but how would you know if someone else doesn't really know of it? how would you know if someone else doesn't have so much time on their hands to actually locate your mystery blogs?
google and yahoo are rather competent search engines, you know... especially if that "someone else" is a very close friend and knows almost all of your net aliases. what's stopping them? *sinister grin*
