Are You People Dumb or What?

Contrary to popular belief,
this blog actually gets quite a substantial amount of traffic.

Substantial, not meaning a few hundred people reading this site on
a regular basis.
No, that would be a VERY substantial amount of people reading this blog.
No, in fact, I'm talking about a handful of people who regularly read this blog,
20-50 give or take the odd trespasser,
and that number actually amazes me.

I don't have grand plans for this blog,
what I want to do with this blog is actually very simple.

I wish to educate the world!
About the ways of me, myself and I.

Well, not really.
This blog was actually created with the very simple reason of being an archive,
for everything and anything understand the sun, which I want to express an opinion about.
Well, almost everything and anything under the sun.
There are a few topics which are taboo and I will definitely not discuss.
Which are, my family, my love life, and my non-existent-soon-to-be existent-sex life (in about 3 years, I'm probably going to get as much as I can).

And, with this noble mission, my foray into the place that is the World Wide Web began.
And at first, I was lost, I was without direction.
I posted about the young neighbor who had a crush on me,
I posted about the lady who was nice to me.

I posted about the sun shining and the rain pouring,
and how I was deeply infatuated(?) with this girl.

I had posted about everything and anything in this blog,
and I justified the posting of such bullshit material by telling myself that
I'm using this blog as a journal,
and archive of sorts,
so that I may be able to reflect on what sort of person I am whenever I feel like it in the future.

So, I continued with the continuous flow of bullshit,
even getting so inflated an ego, that I started advertising.
Not much mind you, just recommendations to friends.

And before I knew it,
I had my detractors.

My first detractor, I remember,
was a superb dumbass.
A dumbass like no other,
that instead of making me hate him,
made me pity his stupidity.

I pitied him, for being unable to comprehend the brilliance dripping in every word I spoke,
in every syllable uttered, in every motion made.
I pitied his ignorance and stupidity.
I insulted him, I crucified him and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Why?
Because-as with all my other detractors-,
he offered no resistance no explanation, no fight to prove me otherwise.
I simply accused and he accepted, perhaps conceding defeat, never returning,
walking away with his tail between his legs.
This became a trend with all of my detractors,
and I soon found myself pleading with them to stay and argue their point.
Make a good case, and challenge me on an intellectual level. Not surprisingly,
none of them did.

I had began to question myself, why?
Why then did I enjoy the crucifixion of such worthless souls,
why? I must indeed be in a sad stage when I take great pleasure in only fighting battles that
I was assured of victory. I must be indeed a sad individual.

Then I realized, that these executions served a far greater purpose,
they asserted my authority in these private spaces. I had let the people know that I
was King, that I was absolute monarch, and I was dictator of terms in these spaces.
If you did not like what I did, piss off.
Piss off they did, and now, no one has raised a word against me in this blog again.

Concerning the amount of people reading this blog,
I have to say that its not a terrifically large amount of people who read this blog,
but surprisingly, its surpassed all my expectations.
I had only though that I had less than 10 people who read this blog faithfully,
little did I know, after much probing, that number's actually wrong be about a factor of 5.

There's slightly less than 50 people reading this blog and I'm damn glad about that number.
Why?
As I said, this blog is full of bullshit, which most of the time isn't intellectual banter,
nor widely accepted material. Most of the time, I'm simply biased and opinionated.
When I realized that there was such a substantial amount of people reading this blog regularly,
I swelled with pride.

I even got some accolades from some bloggers who I respect a lot. People who've hundreds of faithful readers, people who cannot help themselves from blogging intelligently and oft with wit.
People who have educations that I don't really care about, but really respect.

I realized this and was given motivation to perform even better, and at the peak of my blogging (Check the archives Mid-December 04 - Jan 05) I was churning out articles once a day, and they were of some worth at the very least. Some commentary here and there, some humor and some drama.

It was during this period where I've garnered my most of my accolades, and
the intellectuals who read this blog regularly. You know who you are. These people who cannot help but blog with terrible amount of wit and character. These people who refrain from using the idiot box-tag board- and instead comment, rightfully in the comments area.
That there are such people who still visit this blog -although I'm at such a low point and really am churning out worst bullshit then ever- even though it is a mockery of what they do, really pleases me.
Even if they visit this blog to laugh at the fool, making a clown out of himself. (?) I still feel really proud. And how many of YOU bloggers out there can make a claim that you have readers who you're proud of?

With that, I'm leaving with this question for the intellectual group,
Are you people dumb or what?
How could you put up with this bullshit?!


Pax Vobiscum.

P.S. Might edit this later. Plenty of errors, I know.

Who cares? There's one more for the list.

Who'd the thought a testosterone ravaged teenaged boy of 15 could attract so much attention?

Now, if only I could concentrate as much on my studies...

"Are you people dumb or what?"

yes, I am.

Darthsid said...

Well. Admiting that you have a problem IS the first step to solving it.

Glad that you're on board then.

Daniel said...

Someone save me from dumbness please.

Darthsid said...

Stop reading this blog for starters?

No, I'm kidding. Keep reading this blog. I don't really care about your welfare. I just want the attention.
