Lack of Blog Entries

I haven't blogged in a while. I don't know why. But I decided a rather amusing way of trying to find out. I asked something that could help.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say about blog entries: Blog entries are often rather frequent, at times taking place every day. They usually involve depressive information, and reflect the writer's ability in any situation to appear depressive. In fact, the frequency at which blogs are posted often goes down when there is an actual depressive mood in the air to once a week, occasionally twice, it would appear, for the writer is too depressed to creatively come up with a way of making ordinary events sound depressing. It is indeed theorised that the personality of the average blogger was indeed the basis of the GPP (Geniune People Personalities) used in Sirus Robotic's latest prototype robot.

This is especially true of the planet Blogotron VIII, which eventually destroyed itself because the inhabitants did nothing but read blogs all day, except for the hours 26:00 to 28:00 (they had a slightly wider orbit) in which they wrote them so there was something to read. Eventually they decided it was so depressing, they might as well destroy the planet, and be done with it. This, unfortunatly, came after the concept of blogs had been introduced to the rest of the universe, and so the devestating cycle continues.

When it comes to posting blogs, there are many reasons why a blogger may dip in the frequency of his post. As forementioned, he or she may have become depressed. Alternatively, he or she may know that he or she is going to become depressed via a handy sprout of time travelling, and therefore stop blogging to prevent another Blogotron VIII incident happening in the near future. A rather popular theory refers to the fact that nothing interesting has happened, therefore leaving the blogger with very little to write about. This was sadly disproven by Leigh Valentine of Earth, who somehow managed to keep writing blogs despite the fact nothing had happened. He indeed caused the reverse theory to apply, as when things began to happen around him, he stopped blogging. It appeared that when real things were happening in his life, writing blogs on eighties television shows and film making really wasn't required. Yet another theory comes about based off the lack of things to do. It is theorised that when a blogger has had nothing happen in their lives for an increasingly long time, they run out of things to talk about. Interestingly, the last topic every blogger in the known universe (and most parts of the unknown universe) gets around to mentioning is 'the rate of snowfall in Arizona'. Why this is, nobody knows, but it has led to interesting debates on the topic.

There you have it! The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy says all that on blogs. And all Earth gets is "Mostly Harmless", doesn't really sound fair does it?
