Trend-a-riffic!

So I've just realized that this online journal thing is extremely popular. One must wonder why this is...

Could it be that we, as a species, have become so completely alienated from each other that our only form of cathartic exercise comes in this way? Or is it that the idea of an "public confessional" has become so enticing to us that we feel the need to write down every single piece of crap that happens to us in our daily lives? Seriously? Who the hell gives a shit? This is where the cathartic act comes in; we write these things not to show off our skills of the wit, but to let off steam... What do upper-middle to high class people (those who have the luxury of computers at their fingertips every minute) seriously have to be so unnerved about that we need blogs or xangas or livejournals or whatever else we have? Plus, if humans really did have all these problems, what are we wasting our time reading others' problems for? I apologize for the extremely philosophic turn this has taken, but in all honesty, I have notthing to talk of outside of my house being gutted and Cubs kicking the shit out of people.

...

Ah yes, the Cubs. Excellent stuff. 2nd in the national league in homeruns and 1st in leadoff production/on base percentage. And what a shitty lineup! By that I mean, of course, they are all THE SHIT.

In other baseball news, I'm currently watching the less pitching talented White Sox make an impressive comeback against the Yankees. It's now 8 - 7 and there's plenty of time left for them to... Most likely blow it some more. Nonetheless... The CUBS... Wow.
