Combatting hypocrisy
So I was wandering along the internet, looking for things to do, and suddenly I thought "hey, I'll look at people's blogs." And so I looked at people's blogs, because it was a good idea, or at any rate, not a bad idea. I do have bad ideas sometimes. Like being an engineering student for 2 years, and not writing a research paper last year for a class. Anyway, I was looking at blogs and I was like "jeez people, update a little more often." I was filled with rightous ire at those who had not posted blog entries since I checked blogs at ten this morning.
And then I realized that I had not updated my blog since yesterday. How dare I complain about people's lack of posting, when I myself was equally un-up-to-the-minute. I cried with shame, and vowed to write an entry posthaste. Then I went to the edit your blog page, and realized I had extremely little to say. Then, without remedying that situation, I started typing, and looked up "posthaste" at dictionary.com to make sure it meant what I thought it meant (it did), and you know the rest.
The rest is pathetic.
