Is it me, or does it seem that most of the teen blogs (if not all) type in broken English, have horrible tense, and cannot differentiate between singular and plural?

Or they post up so many pictures, to the point the blog is becoming more of a personal picture gallerywith comments than a true blog?

One blogger remarked:

After Reading lots of blog such as those popular, famous, celebrities blog... i realise tht a blog must have PHOTOS... Dont U agree tht? I do think of tht... because u cant blog it in thousands of words or millions of words... when urs reader or passer by will ZzZ... after readings... but it is different picture always have the evidence and much more easier thn words... but however a picture will always have a captions rite... this is so called known as "captions". So from today onwards, i will always come with picture too.... but if i choose to write in words... i think i shall do it in interesting ways... or think of a nice title. But the reasons is blog is nt boring... the problems is hw many more post left... this would cause u to ZzZ.... if u choose to reads all the post.... anyway wait till, one of the days my blog is famous.... hope my readers will nt feel ZzZ....

Oh? those celebrities's blogs? Do you think it is their true selves?

NO! They do it for publicity's sake. Hell, even is a teen pop sensation has a blog, no matter how horrible their writing is, or whether they write like a four-year old, you'll still love them.

Sickening isn't it? The power of fame. *bitter laugh*

Jealous? Oh, I'm not. It just irks me that people will do anything for getting that publicity, that fame, they'll even forgo their true selves. While they slowly trim and cut themselves into that cookie-cuttermodel, actress, professional, they will be so engr0ssed in making themselves be another person, they will never realise the loss of their own uniqueness, their own special beauty.

I'm not pretty, I'm not talented, and I sure don't hold a candle to Albert Einstein's itellect. I have below average looks, above average grades, average talent, below average sportiness, anbd above average sarcasm.

I've never, ever posted pictures of myself, because it's not safe. I don't want someone photoshopping my face to put on their blogs, not matter how beautiful and charming they happen to find me, thank you very much. Or some pervert coming after me. I still want to go home in peace, unmolested.

Speaking of being ourselves, while it sounds so magniamious and kind, has anyone in this world ever truly been themselves?

Think: We say the poor have freedom. But there is one area where they don't have freedom: Monetary freedom. They have to struggle just to get that little bit of rice, beg, plead, suck up to the mighty people; some even prostitute themselves. So no, I won't say that the poor could be themselves.

Middle class. It is human instinct to achieve, achieve, achieve. We're all crushed by peer pressure, by 'cool' things, by our relentless pursuit of being the most outstanding pupil, or blogger, or whatever we want to excel in.

Middle class being themselves? Larger possibility, but they would have already changed some part of themselves before realising how precious it is to be yourself.

High class? HA! If you are one of those people who think that you will be able to do whatever you want when you are rich, think again---stocks have to be maintained. Security needs constant upgrading.. Stay ahead of other rivals. Can you do it? Especially abondon yourself to be able to deal with today's fast-paced society?

So, I arrive at my conclusion--no one here is truly themself.
