Survey-O-Rama

Hmmm...

A blog survey... OK... Here goes!

1) Are you happy/satisfield with your blog and with its content and look?

Yeah... I suppose I am... Mostly... Just wait till I finish my web design course then I'll change it to a kick ass format with loads of bells and whistles! And yes... Before you ask Sex Therapist... I will be happy to share my knowledge and power (Anybody would think we were related or something!).

2) Does your family know about your blog?

Yes and No. My Family (blood relatives) do not as they are not exactly clued in to computers or the internet... I have tried in the past to change that, but my powers were too weak... As for my FaMiLy (mostly in-laws, but in a cool sense as opposed to demonic influences - And way more fun, hence the way I wrote Family), yes indeed they do know and I'm happy to report that they read my blog regularly. Good for them!

3) Do you feel embarassed to let your friends know about your blog or do you just consider it a private thing?

I don't tell my friends actively... I'm not the kind to go running about like a pre-teen cheerleader screaming "Hey! look at my blog! it's cool! All the popular kids are doing it!". Mostly because I'm not a girl, hence not a cheerleader, it's not that cool, and I was never a "popular kid" so phooey on them! Those that I do tell usually share my views and so can appreciate my whacked out ways...

4) Did blogs cause positive changes in your thoughts?

Errrr... No. Trying to get it to work in the first bloody place was more of a negative change in my thoughts! But talking about my general thoughts, not a bit of change... I guess I like the way I think anyway and so couldn't get any more positive about it.

5) Do you only open the blogs of those who comment on your blog or do you love to go and discover more yourself?

I did a lot of "blog surfing" to start with, but found far too much crap out there. I'm a patient man, but I don't want to have to search through 100 piles of poo to find one great blog. I tend now to stick to visitors and or family members and thier recomendations.

6) what does visitor counter mean to you? Do you care about putting it on your blog?

The what now?

7) Did you try to imagine your fellow blogger and give them real pictures?

Nah... Besides... Isn't that a bit of a contradiction? If you put a real picture to a blogger, surely you're not using your imagination?!

8) Do you think there is a real benefit in blogging?

Yes indeedy-doo. it gives everybody a fair shout. Of course, it gives the nutters out there a means to spread crap and bullshit too, and sadly they seems to have the loudest voices... So people may actually believe what they see in those blogs as they think it's the overwhelming thought of the people... Spoils it for the rest of us. We need to set up extra loud counter-point blogs to all the crap out there! Any volunteers?!

9) Do you think that bloggers’ society is isolated from the real world or it interacts with events?

Well, as a community, bloggers are isolated in as much as you have to have access to the internet to be a part of it (and all the associated stuff... computers... electricity... phone lines...), but I do feel that there is a big part of society that is now much more able to express themselves... Me for example... there is no way I'd have the balls to air my points of view in the open... Using a blog, I can do that and more importantly, I can comment on the real world and find like minded people that feel about things the way I do. It's oddly liberating!

10) Does criticism annoy you or do you feel it’s a normal thing?

Ok... Lets be clear about this... NOBODY likes criticism. The word is very negative and can anybody honestly say they are not annoyed when people start ragging on them?! I do however have no problem whatsoever with CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK. If somebody has a problem with me, they're more than welcome to tell me about it, as long as they also tell me how they feel I can make it better... If you're just going to have a go at me, then all I can say is CRAWL BACK INTO YOUR HOLE, YOU TROLL AND KEEP YOUR OPINIONS TO YOURSELF!

11) Do you fear some of the political blogs?

Nooooooooooo! I love poloitical blogs! Firslty, you can read them and see how much more twisted and stupid people can be than you... Gives you a great sense of confidence! Secondly, we all have a the right to our own opinions, so when I read crap that forces other peoples views on me and brands me as some form of low life if I don't agree, I can (and do so gladly!) write comments to let them know how insane I think they are... Great way to beat stress!

12) Were you shocked by the arrest of some bloggers?

I honestly believe in freedom of speach, and for eveyone to have thier own opinions and views... However, if those views are harmful (and by harmful, I don't mean small fry stuff like saying that Bush is a FUCKING KNOB HEAD - Which is a valid opinion, shared by many!), they should be moderated. Furthermore, if anybody is deliberately perverting the use of a blog for a nefarious purpose (recruiting religeous nuts for god knows what or inciting actual violence), then yes, the authors of those kind of blogs get what they desrve... Laws are laws, whether you're shouting in the streets or blogging on the web.

13) Do you think about what will happen to your blog after you die?

I'm going to live forever... But seriously, lets be honest... With the march of technology as we see today, Blogging will be much more complicated and far more advanced in only a few years... Maybe we'll all have personal blog systems that record our lives and let us post interesting clips of it on a worldwide database... Maybe we'll all become cyborgs with a centralised knowledge base and wouldn't have a need for a blog... Scary! (I actually saw the other day a new thing that is a small gold disk that you can have inlaid into a headstone... And it stores your life story so any body with a compatible PDA can download your life story... Sounds cool, but maybe that would be my last ever blog?!)

14) What do you like to hear? What song would you link to your blog?

That would all depend on the post!

Well, that about covers it... Have fun y'all!
