Public Sadness Makes Me Angry

This new little "next blog" button placed at the top of the blogs has made it very easy to randomly visit other people's sites. What I've noticed though, is how damn depressing the majority of them are. I swear easily 4 out of every 5 blogs I visit this way are about being dumped, being alone, fighting with a boy/girlfriend, being depressed, being sad, hating someone or feeling lost.

So now I'm wondering, is blogging just a natural way for people in these states to express themselves? I'm thinking maybe it's an easy way to not feel alone without actually having to spend time with anybody in person.

It's also kind of made me think that this is sort of a waste of time for me. I don't think I offer much that is of benefit to anyone who might randomly arrive here. My friends already know about anything I might post here. I haven't written anything clever or sarcastic that particularly stands out in a long time, haven't had any good stories to tell, hell, my posts are even starting to bore me. I suppose I do have lots of stories to tell. It would be an odd change of direction for me to suddenly start telling them here, but maybe that's what this needs.

I'll try not to write about the sorrow of failed relationships and loneliness. There is certainly enough of that out there already, and to be honest, I'm too cynical to actually be able to write about it without sounding like a thoroughly ignorant bitch.
