Bad Blog Part II

draconicaI'm approaching this blog as a Bad Blog — as in "write a bad blog; only nerds write a good blog". Writing a good blog is important for establishing a nerd identity, but if you have nothing to say, it's pointless to write a good blog, and if you have something to say, it's better to write a bad blog because good blogs are for nerds.
But who are bad blogs for? In the grand scheme of things, what is their sacred meaning? We need to construct a solid foundation by answering these questions because I'm a nerd now, and this is a good blog now.
Bad blogs are meant to be written, not read. Good blogs are meant to be reposted, not read. People don't read anymore. Those who do, they can't do it properly: they will understand the easy 20% of the text (words like "wow" and "astonishing") and kind of project their own thoughts as if they were the remaining 80% of the text. Yes, this is social critique now. I'm not here to propose solution but at least you know the problem now.
"Why write a bad blog though?" you may ask. In a way it's like writing a Bad Word Graffiti on the wall. People will pass and they will say "look at this Bad Word on the wall, insane!" And someone would have to clean that? In many cases no one ever does, so a graffiti will be a more lasting evidence of you, the living person, than your tombstone.
