Adventures while blog hopping

So lately, I’ve been browsing blogs and obviously I come across a myriad of types, considering everyone is unique and instilled in each one of us are distinct characteristics and tendencies. What does not cease to surprise me is that it seems as though the bloggers who I truly feel are actually discussing substantial things, rather than the typical, “oh, I woke up this morning and I had this and that for breakfast and then I trudged to work and talked to my co-worker about this and that,” receive very little if any deserving feedback on their entries. I felt sorry for some of them although I shouldn’t, because feedback is not something that validates a blog in any way, shape, or form. I think what truly validates a blog is the blogger’s willingness to keep going back to it and updating it on whim because they truly enjoy it and gain something from it.

It saddens me, however, that I read some blogs that held no appeal whatsoever, yet they were swarming with comments and whatnot. I mean, the grammar and readability of the blog entries may be horrible and disgusting, yet the blog is shining with fame due to readers’ approval of the content. And then the blogger constantly (and when I say constantly, I mean it) gloats about this in his or her entries, as though it is some kind of lifetime accomplishment. I mean, it is their blog and they have a right to say whatever they desire, but I too am entitled to stating my own opinions and reactions in regard to these things.

This all simply says something about blogging these days. No matter how beautiful and meaningful I may find a certain blog, the public may not deem it so. I find it odd albeit the fact that this holds true for many elements of life besides blogging – whether it be a particular movie, book, or whatever else, this happens. Although I deem some blogs as more worthy of attention, the bloggers themselves may not care, but I personally wish that more people would resort to reading these deserving blogs because I believe they can reap much benefit from them despite some of the popular (and in my opinion, trashy) blogs being first on their reading lists.

Maybe I look too deep into things, but I’m glad that I’ve found the handful of blogs that I find amazing and read on a regular basis. If people appreciates these blogs, I am most certainly one of them.
