On Blogging, Reading Blogs and Commenting on Them

Last night, another fancy comment on my blog. Reads thus:

"Get a life!"

The venom. The spite. The things that make this fellow, conveniently called anonymous, tick.

Now, let's examine this a little bit further. In his/her mind, I am probably this geek, confined to my thick big round glasses and computer chair, refusing sustenance, nursing my acne, the perfect stereotypical kid he/she used to bully in pre-school now grown up. And of course this hateful geek has nothing better to do on a Saturday night than to sit down at the said computer chair, listening to a Neko Case live set, and sharing it with the world. All after writing a really long post on Miles Davis and the non-neccesity of "Best of" compilations. Mr. or Ms. Anonymous wonders why anyone would spend his evening in these circumstances, exploring the things that make him happy, and then choosing to share them with the world. And finally, out of disgust for this blogger and his kind, and because he/she cannot throw actual punches electronically, he/she punches out "Get a life!" on his/her keyboard. Then he/she hits "Next Blog" and goes on to avail the next poor sod of his/her ill-tempered wisdom.

To Mr. or Ms. Anonymous, a few questions:

1) If blogging was not having a life, why are you reading them?
2) What is your life really like? Please leave a comment addressing that. It is okay if you just leave a plain "Fuck You" comment in your usual brief, felicitous style. I usually remove them anyway because of my respectful peace-loving readers and because I can.
2) Are the nightclubs in your area closed on the eve of Easter? Or perhaps you just decided to insult a blogger before leaving for your raunchy night at that swank "members only" club?

I leave the questions for you to answer. Here's a tune to help get your weak brain into gear.
