Over the past few days I've been struck down it a certain sense of emptiness in my life…or at least I think that it's emptiness. It could very well be the fact that I have reached a point where I have convinved myslf that evrrything in my life doesn't matter anymore. Whether that is a good or bad thing, well…that's best left for time to tell.
Still, I wonder now as I did when I started blogging so many years ago, would anyone actually bother to read my blog should I put down who I am on these hallowed grounds of thought? I guess the answer still as it was before would be a big fat no.
The reason being that at the end of it, all I have to say about my life is that it is more or less…boring, mundane even. Then again, it's not to say I'm the only blogger in the world with a mundane life. I think every blogger in the world leads a normal boring life. The only thing that seprates the good ones from people like me is the ability to make your life seem much more exciting than it is…and that means one thing.
You swear and curse like there is no tomorrow.
Seriously, I mean…it's not like I actually conducted a full fledged scientific research to come down to that conclusion anyway. It's just that for the most part, alot of the more entertaining personal blogs I read do have a degree of swearing on a regular basis especially when it comes to everyday routine things in life. For some reason I couldn't find a regular routine thing right now, so I'm going with his example.
On any given day, I would go ahead and say "Korea is really really really really cold!!". Of course, that would sound plain and otherwise straighfoward. Some people however would settle with "MAHAI KOREA FUCKING FREEZING ONE. I’m like wearing 5 fucking layers and my fingers and toes are STILL NUMB from the cold!". Same meaning…bigger impact.
Then again…you don't always have to swear to be entertaining, neither does it mean you can be entertaining all the time if you do have typing skills that are like open sewers. There is that fine line between entertaining and tasteless that a lto of people muck up anyway, still…it doesn't seem to discount the trivial fact that a lot of blogs out there that feels free to use the full extent of their expression makes me want to shoot milk out of my nose…which is disgusting and weird because I'm not drinking milk in the first place.
Me, nah…the only time I start swearing is when I'm really angry and for the most part isn't for entertainment purposes. I couldn't dramatise my life in a good way even if its to save my life and that is what seperates me from the more read bloggers out there. Not that it's a compatition or anything, it's my life anyway and we all do what we feel comfortable with…doesn't mean I can't learn new things every once in a while.
Kaniniacibai…I fucking want my laptop back right now. This keyboard is so absofuckinglutely wonderful that its forcing me to mispell every mahai word I type. And the monitor, what the fuck happened to this computer till the refresh rates are stuck at 60hz. Kaninia…you want to blind me issit with the screen looking like cibai 1 megapixel camera shot of a moving object.
Yeah…it doesn't mean we can't learn at all.

come to think of it, some people expect to hear swearing in tv such as sitcoms or action-movies

Haha..okay..that was one HELL of a swear. No point telling you that there’s alot of wrong spellings and what not now can we?

I guess the only part I can agree with is that a certain degree of vulgarity will spice up an entry and make it an entertaining read.
However, from the angle of your entry, I suspect you havent been reading enough blogs to support your sentiment. i.e. there are many informative blogs out there which are both entertaining and many a times have the ability to entice their readers with a sense of dry humour. I suggest you to visit
http://www.futurekl.com/social/social.html
to get a first-hand taste of it. If you find it too mundane for your liking or the sense of sarcasm is way beyond your appreciation ability, then go to
http://frenchknickers.blogspot.com
for some extra spicy entries.
Just to end a last note, in case you havent been reading the papers, bloggers like TV Smith and Mack have been invited to review the 11th ASEAN summit recently, under the media category. Maybe you should check out their blogs for some reality check.
Of course, you are always welcome to visit our blog in case you need your balls uplifted.

sometimese i feel that some bloggers feel that if you don’t swear, you are not cool.
do you know what? i had learned how to swear via blogs!

Vendetta: It’s amazing you wrote all that and completely missed out on the words “entertaining personal blog”. I find it a little sad you consider Mack or TV Smith’s blog’s as entertaining personal blogs because I would like to believe that they are talking about serious issues rather than “fun” things we like to relax by…but I say whatever makes you happy eh?

The reply a tad too long, might as well make it a post

Some people take things way too seriously. Switch to decaf man.

i think some people are getting way too serious over this silly non-phenomenon.

whoa! where’s the party?!
aiyah, a well-written blog is a well-written blog, and “well-written” can mean a variety of things mah, even being entertaining. i think we might be missing the point because there’s a lack of clarity here.
there are blogs that write about serious issues but in an entertaining way, and there are blogs that are about serious issues and entries are designed specifically to make you blind, deaf and snore.
and then there are blogs that have lots of swear words with all sorts of english pasar or melayu pasar or everything pasar. some go for these types of blogs because the way it is written is entertaining. some don’t go for them at all (and sniff at these blogs from their monitors with a cigar and fine cognac in hand).
who cares? as long as you think you’re having fun, and you feel your readers are not annoyed, then sudah lah, no need to argue :p

imho, you CAN’T learn. FS is like that even in real life. she’s just being who she is, a vulgar hot cili padi, on her blog. no, it isn’t for your entertainment, or any of her blog reader’s entertainment.

No argument here. Of course some people are like that thought I still do think whatever a person is, if you think its a good thing, you can pick it up eventually if you keep making it a habit. It just depends on how far a habit you picked it up though.

this particular habit, if you pick it up, you turn out looking/acting like a wannabe. failing miserably. it requires a certain flair… part of one’s personality.
Comment Permalink
Actually any non-natural habit if you pick up and try too hard, you’ll just end up failing miserably at it and just be a wannabe. I don’t know, I just feel like things like this…given time, it’ll be a trait that works for you. Seen it happen, had it happen.
