Why do Bloggers think they are so damn important???

So I have been doing this blog, that nobody reads, for years now. For the most part I do it out of boredom and as a cathartic way to get some of the voices in my head to shut the fuck up. I think my posts are neither important nor influential in any way, shape or form.

Something that really annoys me lately is the proliferation of bloggers that think they are so gotdamn important. For the most part, in the morass that is the internet, most blogs go unnoticed. Yet, most of these self-anointed journo's (who usually don't even have a high-level grasp of the English language) act as if they are celebrities and that the entire universe hangs on their every word. Go to their blogs...no comments. Alexa ratings...barely even recognized enough to get a rating. It kills me to watch Twitter and Facebook posts from people who you know nobody reads talk about how they are invited to the hottest events and cover the biggest scoops. Just because so D-level celebrity or fashion designer let's you interview them with your Radio Shack microphone/tap recorder combo, doesn't mean that all of a sudden you "hang with celebs."

No matter what you cover...art, fashion, celebs, sports, politics...whatever, for the most part to get real credibility you have to earn your stripes and actually become someone of influence before you claim to be of influence.

Get a job...in the meantime, keep reading the Plop. The well being of the universe depends on it.

Gotta go interview the kid that was the runner-up to the first person voted off of American Idol on season 2. After that...lunch at The Ivy to see if anyone recognizes me. Toodles..
