Too much ranting...

so little sense...

i finally did something i've been planning for weeks now. i dipped my feet into the blogosphere to find new and interesting blogs whose owner/s i may find amiable.

i first decided to look at blogs with peculiar names. yes, i know, most have. but i tried visiting blogs that had latin titles like mine first, hoping to find a kindred spirit of sorts out there (as if latin makes us!). well not really. i was more in need of a sparring partner as verlaine has wonderfully been. although there were some interesting blogs out there, they were more of publicly accessible cyber diaries. it's not that i abhor them, they're just not really the type of blogs i was initially exposed to, which were more or less editorials and running commentaries about everything, as i would like my blog to be.

then i found this blog, from the bottom up, which reminded me of what verlaine recounted about her rather successful attempt at erotica. it had great piece there, made me appreciate the genre; i do appreciate good literature if i see one.

speaking of literature, i spent some time wondering what compelled this person to put up this "language blog" bisaya101. yep, i'm not kidding. he must've been gunning for the bisayaphile niche out there.

if there were good blogs, their evil twins were around there too. i came across something that would make my "offensive" ramblings sound superhumanly charitable, like this blog here. i hope the contents of my blog doesn't go as extreme as the ones here, although we do have the same exceptional taste for templates.

i must point out, however, that i endorse none of the things contained in that site, they are in fact extremist ideas that equal that of any jihadists anywhere, and people who subscribe to such things are no better than the evil they claim to fight against, especially if they entertain thoughts of nuking whole cities to eradicate the problem. the only difference then would be that the jihadists used airplanes and car bombs, and these "good" people have nuclear technology at their side.

i must admit that i truly fear militant jihadists. they could strike anywhere, anytime. i could've been one of the victims of the rizal day bombing, if i wasn't fortunate enough to be late to take that train. so i fully support any attempt to beat the crap out of militants, but leave the innocents alone. my thirst for blood ends where the sufferings of the innocent begins. the biggest mistake that blogger committed is to view the islamic world as a monolithic society bent on killing everybody. this view is just shattered by something as simple as this blog.
