Unfunny?

So, I have been told that blogs should be funny. That they're not diaries of your life, but should be humorous. I was told that my blog wasn't worth it because I didn't even try to be funny, [hear a voice of authority] blogs aren't blogs if they're not funny. Hmmmmm, I don't agree, I think blogs arouse out of people wanting to put their opinion on the internet, on a regular basis. Sometimes those opinions are funny, sometimes not. But as with all things on the web, the original purpose evolved and what blogs were evolved. There are many many popular blogs out there on the web, that aren't funny, that are more like diaries, such as one of my favourites or how about someone I know from college. Sometimes the blog will be funny, oftentimes not. And they aren't bad blogs by any stretch of the imagination, they are just there for people to see what they are doing. There has always been a certain amount of voyerism on the internet. What about those sites with the webcams and you could see everything that a person did in a day. Depending on the purpose of a blog, the voyerism in a blog is a little less, if at all. If a blogger wants, they can put everything down that they are doing, what they are reading and listening to seem to be popular options, or they can not post that sort of information at all. Is there really any humor in what someone is listening to? Not really unless it's like some chauvanist listening to Ani Defranco and writing how much he loves her music and speaks to his heart. My blog isn't funny half the time, but is it really a bad thing? Am I really all alone in cyberspace?

Now to something funny....

If you've read my Jan 20th post, then you'll know that I went in search of p()rl\l. Well, I heard from the guy who my friends and I were specifically looking for in the porn, and I don't know what he is thinking. But it got my fingers working. For all of you who I worked with this summer, this link is for you, be sure to scroll down to the "Every Man's Dream" segment, you'll get a kick out of it.
