Floating Through The Blogosphere

Being a newbie to the blog action, I decided last night to use the handy dandy utility at the top of my blog , the next blog button. In so doing, I found the following:

I wish I had taken more Spainish
I don't like cutesy-wutsey blogs on pets
There are some nice family photos out there, but there are some that...
Porno is just as prevalent in Blogland as it is in Webland.

There are other similiar complaints but for now that is it.

It seemed that after paging through hundreds of blogs in languages that I could not comprehend I would suddenly be assaulted by huge pictures of a woman's vagina. I'm not against vaginas, however, it reminded me of sticker shock, the way it just jumped out at you unexpectedly. Maybe it should be called vagina shock.

So far, it seems that women are the only objects of genital exposure, and for my money, I'm glad of it. My fragile male ego couldn't handle anything that makes me look any smaller than I already am.

I found many strident looking blogs in languages that I barely recognized that led me to believe that things aren't great in many other places either. I guess that move to France will have to wait awhile until things (read cars) have cooled off. My car insurance is high enough, I don't want to pay twice for it.

I found that there are tons of good looking girls in Spainish countries, with some of them falling into the aforementioned exposed vagina category. I noticed that there are some frightening lesbian screeds and scary political scandals, the two not necessarily being mutually exclusive.

I saw that some blogs were just harmless diary extentions, or so it seemed. I couldn't read most of them but they had nice music and pretty colors. I managed to find one blog with etheral music that was rather nice that I could not manage to dislodge from my speakers. It wasn't so nice after repeating for the eighth time.

There are a lot of hucksters out there looking for my blog attention and my blog money. I normally gave them the breeze. I have to admit though, that I became part of that shameless bunch when I placed Google ads on my blog in an attempt to become wealthier than I could possibly dream. Haven't made a dime yet.

One thing stood out more than the others though; as I blogged on I never came back to my blog. Page after page after page, never came back to mine.

Maybe there is hope for the blogosphere yet.

Bye bye from the other side.
