Banal Vs Serious - a fight to the death!

Why do banal and superficial blog entries get more comments than serious and in-depth posts?

because Banal has four very lovely letters in it

How fabulously filthy! Trust you!

Minge said...

I thought you were going to bed?

Alan Fisher said...

it's 02:31 here... but I'm going to call in sick again

Minge said...

Why? Bad tummy?

Alan Fisher said...

maybe... ask me in the morning

Pithy comments are easier to write. Sometimes, people aren't in the mood to be serious.

Minge said...

The trots?

I'll ask you in the morning. Hope you're not suffering.

Minge said...

Yes, Michele, I know what you mean. I'm hardly ever serious. I think I should be more serious. I want to be taken seriously. Or do I? Not sure. I think I just want to be taken as I am.

There are millions of serious blogs out there, Minge. Ours are meant as a bit of banter between friends where we can share experiences and pictures between ourselves whilst we are thousands of miles apart. We aren't trying to change the world.

This entire Blogging experience for me has been a huge amount of fun. It's like my own personal diary that my friends can read as I travel the world and try new things. I kept a diary all through my Navy days and one day I might post it. On Blogger, I can post pictures and you can comment... I love it. If you want to come along for the ride then I encourage you to do so.

And that's as far as it goes. If I make a pithy comment then it's for my friends amusement. You either laugh with me or laugh at me... but don't you dare judge me when we haven't even met.

Whoops! that comment was a little over the top! Ignore me - I'm stupid.

Minge said...

No! It wasn't OTT. It was from the heart, fabulous and quite true.

Minge said...

I don't know what I'd do without comments.

You'd be posting to your self. Kind of like blogging masturbation. hehe
