By the hammer of Thor!
Alright, this is going to be a nasty out-of-it little post, but please bless it Lord in Jesus' name....
O.k so I'm like randomly searching blogs and stuff (great insomnia cure, you should try it Mari) and I've started to find an annoying thread amongst them all. You know how it is, you go onto a friends blog hoping for something funny, interesting, or just plain bizarre. Instead you find a full page covered in layers and layers of baby and toddler pictures. I mean god... is there really all that there is to life?
Now don't get me wrong, I love kids and I think that their great and all. It just gets to me that whenever I get on chat with most people these days, view their blog, or even go to a fellowship the main topic of discussion will be?.... yep! You got it! Childbirth, baby showers, and babies. Its bloody annoying.
Or maybe its just my cynicism about the whole thing.
I need a drink.

got to agree with you dude........does get annoying when your looking for something interesting when you can't sleep......on the other hand.......we can't really dictate what people put on their blogs and if that's all that their lives revolve around at the present moment then yeah it's our loss.
Our loss? Not at all, my friend. Its there loss because then, as long as they continue to annoy, they loose the attention of our good company;)
Its all based on perspective, really.
this is assuming, of course, that they want your company.
My friends? Absolutely
Dude you listed two different problems. The first one is people posting too much stuff about kids on their blogs, which really comes down to personal preference and makes you sound like a whiner because lets face it, if you wanted nothing to do with incessant chatter about kids you wouldn't be checking out blogs from couples with kids as most often it is the wife in said couple who is posting and more often than not they are sharing pics of their kids for other mothers or friends\family members to see, not random insomniac (insomniacal, insomnimaniac? help me out here) strangers who need a fix of entertainment. Please confirm if I win the award for longest run on sentence.
The second problem of the only thing being discussed on chat, in fellowships, or just by the random Family members you meet at the bus station being centered around their kids I say to that either your perspective is very skewed or you know some very boring people. Other than answering the obligatory small talk about how the wife, kids, and parents are doing I doubt much of my conversation centers around my 3 kids (though the fact I am answering this is a bit hypocritical). Now if you jump into a conversation being held between mothers, teachers, or soon to be mothers well obviously common ground will be kids and the conversation will follow.
The simple answer is if you don't see something interesting skip the blog, much like I skip past most poetry blogs. It may be the grandest most poetic poem ever but when everyone has their own poetry on their blogs and even if they are the most profound thing ever to the author in general they mean nothing to me so I skip on my merry way to the next blog, thats why they call it blog-hopping.
And yes we absolutely need to hang out next time I go up there.
Indeed, you do win the title for longest run-on sentence. Beware though, I hear there's a kid from China that can make it even longer than you did. Heh...
Seriously though, the post was more of a rant than anything. Cause see every morning when I go do dishes Leila will come down to keep me entertained and the conversation will inevitably turn towards the fat one growing in her belly. I was just burnt out on it, really.
But yes, we should hang out. Sorry I didn't go to sushi with you guys, I had no money.
