The Necessity of Comprehending the Uncomprehensible

Hello everyone.

This is my first day in this technology known as "The Internet", just "Internet", "The Web" or "The World Wide Web". I have started in the easiest way possible for a layman in the subject: a blog.

I have made a previous research, as I always do before embarking in a new adventure and I have found really curious things about this blog thing. "Bloggers", as they call themselves, are a flock of the most various types of people mixed together and linked by just one thing: they write about anything in a web called "a blog".

Some of these people just erase the blog after a couple of weeks posting about the most absolutely irrelevant subjects, or just dissappear, leaving the blog and not writing again. This makes the blog some kind of weird living dead internet creature, grieving and moaning as it travels the web.

There are various kinds of fun facts about blogs.
For example, some of them are quite overloaded, using thousands of different gadgets that usually make no sense and thousands of links in one or the other side column, making the page gigantic with only a little post on top.
An example of that last thing is The Zen of Steve.

Some others just paste thousands and thousands of images, making the blog a visual explosion of nonsensic elements. Just like that is Essenza della sensualità, even though I have to say this is not the worst one I have seen, in this one, the background is actually dark grey, which keeps my eyes from wanting to kill themselves.

Some other blogs are interesting, but so long and twisted they actually make you reconsider where you are taking your life. One of those is Anticonstitucionalizacionalmente Estúpido, which is one of those zombie blogs I talked about before, but it can blow your mind even without known activity since August, 2007.

Well, it is late, so I will just say good night and promise I will not make my blog a zombie one. I will kill it with my own bare hands before doing that.

Greetings to you all, I hope we read each other soon.
Federico.
