Worst blogs ever

Have you ever noticed that there is one kind of blog post that we can all universally hate? It’s the dreaded “sorry I haven’t posted in awhile” update. Every blog has them at some point, actually most livejournal pages are comprised solely of “sorry I haven’t posted in awhile” blog entries.

The most horrible thing about the “haven’t updated in awhile” post is that it can become part of a vicious cycle. People think they have to write everything down…or nothing. So after a while they say “oh no, I haven’t posted, well, I’m still alive. I’ll catch up later.” So now people are more behind but they feel content with this minor update. They go on for more than a week without writing any actually new content. But now they’re one more week behind! So what do they do?

If they’re like me they probably brood over it for another week before making a desperate attempt at an entry that they delete before publishing and substitute it for another pathetic “whoops, I’m still alive. I’ve been so busy that I haven’t been able to catch up!”

Please, we all know that unless you make time for something you’ll always be too busy for it. I’m unemployed taking 1 class and I can bee too busy for anything unless I commit to doing it.

Anyway, I hate those kinds of entries…
