Pointless ranting my ass
Sunday March 19, 2006
I stumbled across a critique today that concluded that there existed, on many blogs, rants that are pointless.
This immediately made me angry and in need of a good old rant because a pointless rant is an impossibility, an oxymoron, a myth, it does not follow the laws of fucking physics.
The fact that it is a rant means that it is, by its very nature, with a point.
At absolute bare minimum the point of a rant is to make its author feel a little better, to remove the anger, to clear the brain, so that s/he can get it all off her/his chest and move on with life.
And that’s not all, there’s nothing quite as honest as an outburst of raw emotion on a subject; it’s a quality seen in children and in these politically correct, sterile times I believe it’s a dying art. Yes you heard me, I said an art.
I will agree that there is a lot of pointless shite on the web but hey who fucking cares, just add more servers and make the search engines better.
So my message is don’t fucking pick on those of us who like to rant, it’s our right, it makes us angry and just makes us rant some more.
Thanks for listening.
