Ohoho! I can catch the little hidden dig there. Touch a nerve? People aren't usually that defensive unless they feel they're being targeted.

oh yeah, by the way, if you have a webpage, you are publishing. it's not a private diary. if you are linking other people.. anyone, it's not private. you are doing it to get attention. i like attention. i want to meet people through my blogs. i like to socialize. nobody who has a webpage should deny that, unless just their friends see it.

no, i'm pretty self-confident that i'm cool enough for most people out there. sometimes i wish i was 6 feet tall and i was a model, but i'm good enough. cool enough. in fact, i don't go around criticizing webpages that don't have good content or just have links of their friends. because most of my links are people i see in real life. oh no. but i do enjoy having complete strangers complimenting me. i'm vain like that. secondary verification is always good. that's why i always jump into a circle at a club or a party.

Speaking of Brad Pitt, don't you hate it when people put celebrities on their page that have no relation to the content?! Like a giant picture of Drew Barrymore and no mention of why she's there on her blog. I dunno. That really annoys me.

In general, people always want to romanticize about how much they rock, even if/when they don't. Noone likes to think of themself as a 'lamer'. At the same time, these same people also feel the neverending need for external validation - other prople to back up their claim that they are 'king of the world'. Cries of 'love me' are inversely proportionate to a person's self worth. It's not neccesarily a bad thing, just a thing.
I, on the other hand, know that I am not the next Brad Pitt; I'm just a 'lamer' that likes to put pics of his kid online, and writes his webpage for himself and a select few; if I happen to gain an audience along the way, so much the better.
