Some people have been complaining that my posts on this thing are too short.
I'm gonna be blunt here. When I state an opinion on something, get something bugging me off my chest, or just plain whore for attention, I like to keep it short and straight to the point. Why is this? I'll go into the many reasons why my posts are so short and why I (and probably most of you) like it that way.
1) This is not a diary. You know, I really don't like myspace. Or facebook. Or blogs in general. It's not that I think they're for emos or MTV-obsessed teenagers or anything like that, it's just that...well, your life is dull. And so is yours. And yours. And yours, too. Quite frankly, I don't wanna hear about all the most mundane details of such lives, and on that note, I doubt you'd wanna hear the same details of mine, which is just as boring. Henceforth, the sole purpose of my ROS is for 1, dicking around, and 2, posting chapters of A Most Bitchin' Fellow (that reminds me...I need to work on that. Conrad isn't going to introduce himself to the plot). But I digress. One of the biggest reasons I don't post every detail of my life (or much details at all, for that matter) is because of the bigger matter at hand...
2) You have a short attention span. If there's anything I've learned in technical writing class, it's that no one wants to read too much. Some people don't have the time to be reading this. Some people are just lazy. Either way, too many words = average reader too intimidated to give a shit. Indeed, some people post elaborate tales on their own diaries/stories/methods for making asses of themselves only to meet responses of tl;dr.
3) I am a lazy slackbitch. I just plain don't wanna write too much.
4)tl;dr version: Congradulations. You've just proven my point. |
