Things I’m Sick of Reading About in Blogs
1. Homework – we get it. You go to college. You have lots of homework. But do any of us care? Do any of us know who Dr. Reginald is or how horrible it is that your JTF Acad.Survey paper is due in four hours and the library’s closed and you haven’t even started it? Oh, yes, please…take a break from all your homework and spent time blogging about it. It’s really fun to read. Why not tell us what you’re learning…what school is helping you to do and who it’s teaching you to be.
2. Sleep – I’m sorry you’re not getting enough sleep. Man, you’re so busy. Gosh, your life is, like, so crazy right now. Man, I hope you get to go to Starbucks on a rainy Saturday morning and then spend the day laying in bed. Oh, ans try to make long lists of all the reasons you like laying in bed on a rainy Saturday. If you’re tired, go to bed. I don’t have any practical suggestion here – just don’t blog about how sleepy you are.
3. Cheese – C’mon, Danielle. That was just a weird post.
4. The Breakdown – If you’re in some sort of specialized field like music or medicine or social work or education or public service or transportation, never start a work-related post with something like, “Let me tell you how this whole weekly conference works” or “Listen, guys, working at the art studio is way harder than you can imagine.” These things read so condescending – why not make it personal? That’s why we’re reading your blog to begin with…we’re not trying to understand the intricacies of sacking groceries…we want to know what sacking groceries means in your life. What you’re really saying to us is that YOU are baffled by the weekly conference or that the art studio was harder than YOU could imagine. Let us see who you are!
There. I feel better now.
In Christian Love,

How about this:
We also don't want a rundown of every gig you played and when you went to get a drink of water and when you took a poop.
No wait. I do want that! I can't get enough...
I want to know it all. Check out my blog Todd, I write very short entries and even have a pic of Manute Bol.
good points. some suck points (the cheese thing is true) my blog is redirected toward that direction you speak of. I have realized many months of the mundane and useless posts. My blog is in need of renovation...and will receive it.
By the way...sick of reading about U2. I love them...but not that much.
Danielle, I have reason to believe that you are talking about reading of U2 specifically on my blog.
I am aware of distaste for one of the world's greatest rock bands...but I submit that my complaints reflected readings on countless blogs rather than one specific one.
Now, if you're reading about U2 in lots of various situations, I'll accept your comment. However, if you're just trying to disrespect on my own turf, I'll stab you in the knuckles. How 'bout that?
Hurry everyone! Go make Todd happy!
In brotherly love,
Jonathan
Didn't mean for my U2 comment to be veiled. Also didn't mean to disrespect. So, stab away.
Todd is soooo rude...
