…all sorts of riffraff will come in. Let this be a lesson.

Blogs are, it appears, something like Lays Potato Chips. You can’t eat just one. This is blog number [mumble mumble] for me because obviously I am not being pointed and laughed at enough. I think this proliferation of blogs is a manifestation of our (meaning the [false] community we’re apparently getting a sense of here) true nature…which is the opposite of lazy.

We enjoy our recliners, we surf the net in what we think is an idle manner, and we sleep until noon because we were up all night the night before debugging something. We play a lot of Freecell. We blog. Some of us blog a lot. (Some of us blog on other people’s blogs.) We spend a lot of time doing things other than work. Does this make us lazy? Hardly, I say. Okay, we might not be producing as much scholarly work as we think we should, but most of us are actually churning out a shocking amount of material in between blogging and trawling Cragslist. Even if we’re not, we’re always doing something. Very few of us can sit still for very long unless we’re doing something (talking, drinking, watching a movie, designing perfectly symmetrical beings, solving Rubik’s Cubes, etc).

We are not lazy people. We have a variety of foci. We may even be misguided. But we are not lazy.
