For the past couple of weeks, it seems like every blog on the internet has been hosting these YouTube videos. New posts come up, but they're just a one-liner and a YouTube video clip of some jerkoff on Letterman a hundred years ago, or somebody's cat doing a trick.
Look, it's not interesting. If I wanted to read about somebody's cat I'd read one of the thousands of tedious time-waster blogs on blogger. They're not hard to find. If I was really interested in washed-out has-beens on Letterman's time machine, well, that's not hard to find either.
I can waste plenty of time on my own. If I'm reading your blog, and I don't actually know you in real life, it's because I think you have something interesting to say about politics or science or whatever else it is you got your degree in. The only "this is what I did today" blogs I'm interested in are the ones you can find on the right hand column of your screen, over there, because I actually know those people. As for everybody else? "Look at this awesome video I found on YouTube" is not why I read your blog.
Whiskey tango foxtrot.
