Ugh, And Other Expressions Of Disgust

I'm ticked. Wanna know why? See, every day I post an entry, long and meaningful, for the express benefit of being seen and read by members. And pretty quick, it's whacked off the front page into obscurity, for we all know the little member gremlins never check the second page. What ticks me is that I spend so much time putting relevance and thought into my words and then a horde of ravening noobs posts entries like 'HOMG TODAYS I'S AM GOTTED ME SUM STUFF LAWL POST HEER I'S AWESOME DUDE!' that are even shorter and badly spelled than that, bumping my and other meaningful blogs off the page. "But GMan," you bespectacled observer stooges blurt out, "The less meaningful entries sandwiching the other entries get bumped off the page, too!" Ahh, but here comes a contradiction! The wee li'l noobs post multiple worthless entries a day, thus ensuring that not only do they waste time recording short, badly written accounts of their escapades, but they waste it more than once, creating a block of digital sewage for all to observe! And what's yet another smack in the face, to me at least, is that those entries and their type get mounds of comments! I take hours carefully writing all these entries, and I get virtually no comments! I believe the Community Blog List pages should each be twice as long to give entries fairer exposure so all that time put into them and the bandwidth won't be as wasted. Even better, the first page should show the last day, the last day and a half, or the last two days of entries. However, I don't know if that would help me beyond giving me more face time, seeing as I put out meaningful entries which don't get lots of comments all that often, but if I type up some cheap garbage that could be an entry in the blog of some teen's social networking site profile, it's like it attracts everybody. More people than who usually comment in this blog. That scares and angers me about the direction in which the mass mentality is going. Shallow, hmm?
I'm listening to Pink Floyd's 'Stop' right now, and it makes me feel so nostalgic... Very self questioning... Wondering... Wishing I had back moments like when I was a child, out in a mall parking lot on a cold night, looking up at the moon and the stars, or being in a mall at night, surrounded by glorious neon and the bustle of a different world around me... A world not yet quite as messed up as it is now... Remembering the glory days of old shows like Rugrats and Angry Beavers... *sigh*
